There's nothing in the picture to show scale but if, as I suspect, the flowers are smaller than the close up view makes them appear, I'd say it's Kalanchoe blossfeldiana.

Thank you Floral!

I googled Kalanchoe blossfeldiana, and in all the photos the leaves are serrated. The leaves of the plant I'm trying to ID aren't. They've got smooth edges.

Please help me ID this plant (succulent?)

That looks like Haworthia, not Aloe: note the transparent skin on the top of the leaves which forms 'windows'. I think it is Haworthis venosa, but that is just a SWAG. Put them in a really, really free draining soil mix. For example, take 1 part potting soil and mix it with one part pea-sized gravel. Set the starts basically on top of the soil, and put it in a warm, bright spot. Don't give them a drop of water until you are *sure* you see new, active growth. That could very well take months! Once you see new, active growth, gradually provide as much direct sun as you can, and start a regular succulent plant watering regiment. Seriously, don't water it until you see new growth!

Your Hens and chicks looks like Sempervivum 'Red Beauty'. Just in case you don't know, most Sempervivums need to be out in the cold in the winter so it doesn't make a great houseplant. A better garden plant for sure. i can't identify the so called zygo cactus from your picture. Maybe a closer shot? The third picture looks to be a sedum of some sort. These all look to be succulents, not cactus, to me. One last thing, most succulents are poisonous to cats so I don't recommend you let your cat eat any of them.

There are several serrated leaves visible in the top picture. Also the leaves can be variable. Some of the pictures online have smooth edges. Here's an example http://www.llifle.com/Encyclopedia/SUCCULENTS/Family/Crassulaceae/29086/Kalanchoe_blossfeldiana

You're right. Some are serrated and some are not.

Could be 2 plants? Thank you again.

The person who asked me for an ID said she had removed some dry branches. It's not clear why they died. Plant is on north facing windowsill. Gets watered once a week. Any thoughts?

No. One plant with variable leaves. I've never owned one so no advice I'm afraid.
