Is Haworth's Lampranthus toxic to cats?

Lampranthus haworthii

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists haworth's lampranthus 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. Lampranthus haworthii is not individually listed by the ASPCA. The genus belongs to Aizoaceae, a family with no well-documented systemic toxin, but ingestion of plant material may cause mild gastrointestinal upset in pets. Treat with caution around cats and dogs.
