Is Baby rubber plant toxic to cats?

No — baby rubber 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 baby rubber plant (Peperomia obtusifolia) on its non-toxic plant list, classed as non-toxic to both dogs and cats, making it one of the genuinely pet-safe houseplant choices. No insoluble or soluble calcium oxalates or other recognised toxic principle are associated with it. Even so, it is not pet food, and a pet that eats a large amount of any plant may get mild, transient stomach upset simply from the volume of fibre.

Yes — the ASPCA lists baby rubber 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.
