Is rubber plants toxic to cats?

Yes, rubber plants (Ficus elastica) are toxic to cats. They contain compounds that can cause gastrointestinal upset, including vomiting and diarrhea, if ingested. While serious effects are rare, it's best to keep rubber plants out of reach of pets and monitor them if they show interest in chewing on the leaves. If you suspect your cat has ingested any part of a rubber plant, consult your veterinarian for advice.
