Is Graptopetalum macdougallii toxic to cats?

Mildly. The ASPCA lists graptopetalum macdougallii 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. Graptopetalum is not individually listed by the ASPCA; treat with caution and verify with a vet. It belongs to the broadly non-toxic Crassulaceae family with Echeveria and is generally considered pet-safe by horticultural sources, but absent a direct ASPCA listing we do not assert safe. Ingestion may cause mild gastrointestinal upset.

Graptopetalum is not individually listed by the ASPCA; treat with caution and verify with a vet. It belongs to the broadly non-toxic Crassulaceae family with Echeveria and is generally considered pet-safe by horticultural sources, but absent a direct ASPCA listing we do not assert safe. Ingestion may cause mild gastrointestinal upset. Signs usually appear soon after chewing rather than hours later — watch for drooling, pawing at the mouth, vomiting, loss of appetite, or unusual lethargy after your cat has had access to graptopetalum macdougallii.

Stay calm. Remove any plant from your cat's mouth and take the plant away. Note how much was eaten and when, and do not induce vomiting unless told to. Call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 and follow their advice; a leaf or photo helps the vet treat it correctly.

The ASPCA classification Growli uses applies to both cats and dogs: Graptopetalum macdougallii is mildly toxic to dogs as well. See the full graptopetalum macdougallii pet-safety guide for both species.
