Is Sempervivum heuffelii toxic to cats?
Sempervivum heuffelii
No — sempervivum heuffelii 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. The ASPCA lists 'Hens and Chickens' as non-toxic to cats and dogs, and houseleeks (Sempervivum) are widely regarded as non-toxic; note the ASPCA's 'Hens and Chickens' entry is botanically Echeveria elegans, and Sempervivum heuffelii is not individually listed under its own name. Considered pet-safe, with at most mild stomach upset if eaten.
