Is Rose of Jericho (Resurrection Plant) toxic to cats?

No — rose of jericho (resurrection plant) is listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to cats.

Selaginella lepidophylla is not individually listed in the ASPCA database, but the genus is clean: ASPCA lists its relative Selaginella kraussiana (Club Moss / Krauss' Spikemoss) as non-toxic to dogs, cats, and horses, and no Selaginella appears on the toxic list. It is generally regarded as pet-safe; as with any plant, large amounts may cause mild stomach upset, so verify with your vet if a pet ingests it.
