Is Rollers Houseleek toxic to cats?

Sempervivum globiferum

Non-toxic to cats

No — rollers houseleek 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. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Sempervivum globiferum is not individually listed by the ASPCA. The genus Sempervivum is widely regarded as non-toxic to cats, dogs and horses; it contains no known bufadienolide cardiac glycosides or other recognised toxic principles unlike its Crassulaceae relative Kalanchoe. The ASPCA 'Hens and Chickens' non-toxic entry refers to Echeveria elegans, but Sempervivum is considered safe. Large ingestion may cause mild, transient digestive upset.
