Is Thessalian Aubrieta toxic to cats?

Aubrieta thessala

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists thessalian aubrieta 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. Aubrieta is not listed on the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant database. No specific toxic principles are documented in horticultural literature, but absence from the database is not a confirmed safety clearance. Classify as mildly-toxic and advise caution with pets.
