Is Nematanthus wettsteinii toxic to cats?

Nematanthus wettsteinii

Non-toxic to cats

No — nematanthus wettsteinii 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. ASPCA lists Nematanthus spp. (goldfish/candy-corn plant) as non-toxic to cats and dogs. Eating large amounts of any houseplant can still cause mild, temporary stomach upset, so it is sensible to deter persistent chewers.
