Is Moss-Leaf Wax Plant toxic to cats?

No — moss-leaf 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. The ASPCA lists the Hoya genus as non-toxic to cats and dogs, citing Hoya carnosa ('Wax Plant') and Hoya kerrii ('Sweetheart Hoya') as Non-Toxic with no toxic principles. Hoya hypnophylla is not individually listed, and no Hoya species appears on the ASPCA toxic list. Eating large quantities of foliage may cause mild, temporary gastrointestinal upset in pets.

Yes — the ASPCA lists moss-leaf 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.
