Pleiospilos nelii 'Royal Flush'

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists pleiospilos nelii 'royal flush' as mildly toxic to cats — a chewing cat typically gets mouth irritation, drooling, and vomiting rather than a medical emergency, but it is still best kept out of reach. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Pleiospilos is not individually listed by the ASPCA, so its status is uncertain; treat with caution and verify with a vet. There are no well-documented toxic compounds, but absence of an ASPCA listing means it should not be asserted as pet-safe. Discourage pets from chewing it.
