Is Rosette Rock Jasmine toxic to cats?

Androsace sempervivoides

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists rosette rock jasmine 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. Androsace (Primulaceae) is not individually listed by the ASPCA. The Primulaceae family contains species with saponins and irritant glycosides; ingestion may cause mild gastrointestinal upset in pets. As a precaution, treat as mildly toxic and keep away from pets that graze plants.
