Is Round-leaf Rosularia toxic to cats?

Rosularia globulariifolia

Non-toxic to cats

No — round-leaf rosularia 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. Rosularia belongs to Crassulaceae but is closely allied to Sedum and Sempervivum, genera that are listed by ASPCA as non-toxic. Rosularia itself is not individually listed by ASPCA, but no toxic principles have been documented for this genus. Based on the non-toxic status of its nearest relatives (Sedum, Sempervivum), it is considered pet-safe, though ingestion in quantity may cause mild gastric upset.
