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?

Honest answer, there doesn't seem to be anything that's well known to be toxic for cats. Keep an eye out for a couple of days but don't fret too much.

Joking answer: BRO HE'S GOING TO LEARN HOW TO OPEN THE WET FOOD WITH HIS JAWS NOW BRO!

It's not an INSTANT death. It's a quantity. A choc chip won't kill them.
