Is Hoya Potsii toxic to cats?

Hoya potsii

Non-toxic to cats

No — hoya potsii 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. The genus Hoya is ASPCA-listed as non-toxic to cats and dogs (Hoya carnosa, the wax plant, appears on the ASPCA non-toxic list). Hoya potsii inherits this genus-level stance and is regarded as pet-safe, although ingesting large amounts of any foliage may cause transient stomach upset.
