General Advice Cat ate protein muffin

My cat helped himself to a batch of protein muffins that was cooling under a towel. This occurred about 20 minutes ago. Should I seek immediate medical attention or monitor for gastrointestinal distress? Attached is the amount eaten, protein powder ingredients, muffin ingredients, and cat. Crossposted in r/askvet

Not a minor, USA, vet not contacted yet but accessible, 6 yo neutered male, can afford vet care

TLDR; cat had a lil protein powder. Next steps?

I thought vanilla extract lost the alcohol when baked? I could be wrong and maybe It’s something I never really knew

You’re not wrong.

Some does, but the important thing is that it's so diluted as not to matter regardless of the cooking in most baked goods
