Is Hairy Stonecrop toxic to cats?

Prometheum pilosum

Non-toxic to cats

No — hairy stonecrop 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. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Prometheum pilosum (syn. Sedum pilosum) belongs to Crassulaceae tribe Sedeae. The genus Prometheum is not individually listed by ASPCA. Unlike jade-type Crassulaceae (Crassula, Kalanchoe), Sedum and closely related genera such as Sempervivum are listed by ASPCA as non-toxic to dogs and cats. Treat with caution if unsure, but no toxic principle has been reported.
