Is Stapelia grandiflora toxic to cats?

Stapelia grandiflora

Non-toxic to cats

No — stapelia grandiflora 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 Stapelia (Carrion Flower) as non-toxic to cats, dogs, and horses. As with any plant, nibbling can cause mild, self-limiting stomach upset, and the soft 'teeth' on the stems are harmless.
