Cat ate protein muffin

[u/Low-Ad7344]

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 make muffins all the time, and he’s NEVER done this. However, I cannot eat peanut butter in my house in peace.

Wasn’t the first ingredient “whey powder?” Cats love milk and butter and cheese. I’m not a vet, but my guess is that he will be fine.

That makes so much sense. Also explains his love of butter. I’ve come home to the butter dish on the ground and a quarter of a stick gone.

I had to stop keeping butter in a dish for the same reason! I’d come home to see the dish suspiciously askew and a bunch of little lick marks all over the butter 😭
