I was given this houseplant yesterday and I'd like to know what it is, to make sure it's not harmful to my cats. It has hebe like flowers. If anyone knows, that would be great.

I believe that it is a coleus. That being said, yes, coleus is toxic to dogs, cats, and horses. According to the ASPCA website the essential oils in the plant can cause, vomiting, diarrhea, depression, anorexia, and occasionally bloody diarrhea.
Yes, that is a coleus. I love them, they come in so many differrent color combinations. Usually the flowers are just picked off as they are not significant, the beautiful leaves are the main attraction.
Coleus, they make beautiful flower beds also. My mom use to plant them in the summer and they were just gorgeous. Just make sure to pinch off the flowers to keep them growing and spreading.
I would like to know as well because I have the same plant.
