Is Hoya polyneura (Fishtail Hoya) toxic to cats?

No — hoya polyneura (fishtail hoya) 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 polyneura is not individually listed in the ASPCA database, but the genus is clean: ASPCA lists Hoya members such as Sweetheart Hoya (H. kerrii), Wax Plant (H. carnosa), H. australis and H. pubicalyx as non-toxic to cats, dogs and horses, with none listed as toxic. Considered pet-safe; as always, verify with your vet, and note that eating any plant can cause mild stomach upset.

Yes — the ASPCA lists hoya polyneura (fishtail hoya) 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.
