Is Prostrate Rosemary toxic to cats?

No — prostrate rosemary 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. Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis, now reclassified as Salvia rosmarinus) is ASPCA-listed as non-toxic to cats, dogs, and horses, and this prostrate cultivar shares that status. The plant itself is pet-safe; concentrated rosemary essential oil should still be kept away from cats and dogs, and eating large amounts of any plant may cause mild GI upset.

Yes — the ASPCA lists prostrate rosemary 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.

The ASPCA classification Growli uses applies to both cats and dogs: Prostrate Rosemary is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full prostrate rosemary pet-safety guide for both species.
