Is Graptopetalum pentandrum toxic to cats?

No — graptopetalum pentandrum is listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to cats. It is a sensible choice for a home with a cat; a curious nibble will not poison them, though no plant is meant to be eaten. Graptopetalum pentandrum is not individually listed in the ASPCA database, but the genus is clean: the ASPCA lists the ghost plant (Graptopetalum paraguayense, filed under its synonym Sedum weinbergii) as non-toxic to cats and dogs, and no Graptopetalum species is flagged as toxic. As a precaution for an unlisted species, keep it out of reach and check with your vet if your pet nibbles it.

Yes — the ASPCA lists graptopetalum pentandrum as non-toxic to cats and dogs. A cat that chews a large amount of any foliage can still get a mild, brief stomach upset, so discourage grazing, but it will not be poisoned.

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