Is Hoya wayetii toxic to cats?

No — hoya wayetii 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 wayetii is not individually listed in the ASPCA database, but the genus is clean: the ASPCA lists Hoya kerrii (Sweetheart Hoya) and Hoya carnosa (Wax Plant) as non-toxic to dogs, cats, and horses, with no toxic Hoya members. It is considered pet-safe, though the milky sap or large amounts of leaf can cause mild stomach upset; verify with your vet if your pet ingests any.

Yes — the ASPCA lists hoya wayetii 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: Hoya wayetii is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full hoya wayetii pet-safety guide for both species.
