Is Pilea glauca 'Aquamarine' (Grey Baby Tears) toxic to cats?

No — pilea glauca 'aquamarine' (grey baby tears) 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. Pilea glauca is not individually listed by the ASPCA, but the genus is clean: ASPCA lists several Pilea species (Pilea microphylla, Pilea mucosa, creeping Pilea/Pilea nummulariifolia and watermelon Pilea/Pilea cadierei) as non-toxic to dogs and cats, with no Pilea listed as toxic, and it belongs to the non-irritant family Urticaceae. It is therefore treated as pet-safe; as with any plant, nibbling may still cause mild stomach upset, so verify with your vet if concerned.

Yes — the ASPCA lists pilea glauca 'aquamarine' (grey baby tears) 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.
