Is Hoya Vitellinoides toxic to cats?

Hoya vitellinoides

Non-toxic to cats

No — hoya vitellinoides 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 (entries for Wax Plant and Sweetheart Hoya). No toxic principle is identified. As with any houseplant, ingesting large amounts may cause mild, transient stomach upset, and the milky sap can be slightly irritating, so casual nibbling is still best discouraged.
