Zebra Haworthia
Haworthiopsis fasciata · Asphodelaceae
How it looks
The zebra haworthia is a small succulent with thick, triangular fleshy leaves marked by white horizontal bands like a zebra's stripes. The leaves grow in short, dense rosettes, 2–4 in (5–10 cm) across, making it a popular potted plant.
Zebra Haworthia is listed as non-toxic to cats by the ASPCA. An occasional nibble is unlikely to cause any real trouble.
Guide for parents
Even with a safe plant, make a habit of picking up fallen leaves the same day. If your cat likes to dig in or eat potting soil, fertilizer ingredients can upset their stomach — covering the soil with pebbles works well. If it comes home as a cut stem, florists often treat it with preservatives, so place the vase where your cat can't drink the water.
