Is Unequal-Leaf Gibbaeum toxic to cats?

No — unequal-leaf gibbaeum 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. Gibbaeum dispar is not individually listed by the ASPCA. However, closely related Aizoaceae genera (including Lithops, Dinteranthus, and Pleiospilos) are listed as non-toxic, and no toxic principle has been documented for Gibbaeum. Treat with caution nonetheless and consult a vet if a pet ingests any part of the plant.

Yes — the ASPCA lists unequal-leaf gibbaeum as non-toxic to cats and dogs. A cat that chews a large amount of any foliage can still get a mild, brief stomach upset, so discourage grazing, but it will not be poisoned.

The ASPCA classification Growli uses applies to both cats and dogs: Unequal-Leaf Gibbaeum is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full unequal-leaf gibbaeum pet-safety guide for both species.
