Is Diversifolia Wax Plant toxic to cats?

No — diversifolia wax plant 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. Hoya diversifolia is not individually listed in the ASPCA database, but the Hoya genus is clean: the ASPCA lists Wax Plant (Hoya carnosa) and Sweetheart Hoya (Hoya kerrii) as non-toxic to dogs, cats, and horses, with no Hoya species listed as toxic. It is therefore considered pet-safe; as always, verify with your vet and discourage pets from chewing foliage, since any plant matter can cause mild stomach upset.

Yes — the ASPCA lists diversifolia wax plant 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: Diversifolia Wax Plant is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full diversifolia wax plant pet-safety guide for both species.
