Is Rabiea albinota toxic to cats?

Rabiea albinota

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists rabiea albinota 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. Rabiea albinota is not individually listed in the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plants database, so its status is treated as uncertain; verify with a vet before trusting it around pets. Closely related Aizoaceae genera that ARE listed (Ice Plant/Lampranthus and Dinteranthus) are classified by the ASPCA as non-toxic to cats and dogs, but absence of a species-level listing means we will not assert pet-safe here.

What to do if your cat ate rabiea albinota

  1. Remove any plant material from your cat's mouth and move rabiea albinota out of reach.
  2. Note how much was eaten and when, and watch for drooling, vomiting, or lethargy.
  3. Do not induce vomiting unless a vet or poison-control specialist instructs you to.
  4. Call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 and follow their advice.
  5. Bring a leaf or photo of rabiea albinota to the appointment so it can be treated correctly.

General guidance, not veterinary advice. If you think your cat has eaten rabiea albinota, contact your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 — do not wait for symptoms to worsen.
