Is Graptoveria 'Bashful' toxic to cats?

Graptoveria 'Bashful'

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists graptoveria 'bashful' 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. Graptoveria (a Graptopetalum x Echeveria cross) is not individually listed by the ASPCA; treat with caution and verify with a vet. One parent, Echeveria, is ASPCA-listed non-toxic, and the hybrid is generally regarded as pet-safe, but without a direct ASPCA listing we do not assert safe. Chewing the fleshy leaves may cause mild stomach upset.
