Is Variegated Liveforever toxic to cats?

No — variegated liveforever 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. Dudleya variegata is not individually listed by ASPCA. The Dudleya genus is not among the toxic Crassulaceae genera (Crassula, Kalanchoe, Cotyledon) and no toxic principle has been documented for any Dudleya species. The plant is considered safe in horticultural literature. Ingestion of any plant material may cause mild gastrointestinal upset in pets.

Yes — the ASPCA lists variegated liveforever 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: Variegated Liveforever is non-toxic to dogs as well. See the full variegated liveforever pet-safety guide for both species.
