I really liked this small plant from IKEA, so I decided to buy it. However, I've searched everywhere and I still can't identify its type. Its leaves are not smooth; they feel almost like paper, its branches are a little fuzzy, and it's average in size. Also, I have two small kittens in the house, and I saw on the internet a similar plant that is said to be poisonous to cats and dogs. They are very curious, and I'm worried they'll might try to eat it and get hurt.

Hello
It is a Fittonia and could be a Fittonia albivenis (which only means white veins) and as a Fittonia it is not toxic.
Hope this helps
Hi everyone!
I am pretty certain now that it's a Fittonia plant. I will try to care for it as much as I can, and add even more plants to my apartment.
Thank you so much for answering! :)
It looks like a type of dieffenbachia, and it is toxic to humans and pets.
I believe it's an Episcia Cupriata which is a related to the African Violet.
I'd agree with this :)
But doesn't Episcia Cupreata have also small red flowers? I don't think it's it...
I have a Nerve Plant/Zebra plant that is very similar and it is not poisonous and it does not appear that your plant is either.
Fittonia!
Vein nerve plant
This is an aluminum plant. Lots of water and medium light!
That is a nerve plant. Great for terrariums...thrives in humditity
It's a fittonia, as some others have posted. It needs a fairly high humidity so is often grown in terrariums.
Fittonia by the looks of it
They like humidity
