Non-toxic to cats

No — stapelia leendertziae 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, covering this species. Ingestion can still cause mild gastrointestinal upset, and the soft stem teeth pose no real hazard.
