Juttadinteria simpsonii

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists simpson's juttadinteria 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. Juttadinteria simpsonii is not individually listed by the ASPCA. The genus belongs to Aizoaceae and no toxic principles are documented in available sources. A cautious rating is applied as ASPCA has not formally confirmed non-toxicity for this genus.
