Is Graptopetalum bellum toxic to cats?

Graptopetalum bellum

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists graptopetalum bellum as mildly toxic to cats — a chewing cat typically gets mouth irritation, drooling, and vomiting rather than a medical emergency, but it is still best kept out of reach. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Graptopetalum is not individually listed by the ASPCA; treat with caution and verify with a vet. It sits within the non-toxic Crassulaceae family and is generally regarded as pet-safe in horticultural sources, but without a direct ASPCA listing we do not assert safe. Chewing the fleshy leaves may cause mild stomach upset.
