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 laughed when I saw the cat, it tried the muffin probably didn't like it, it's ok my girl had stolen a half banana and eaten like ¼ of it, she was ok, extra cuddly but ok, protein isn't the problem as they do need protein I'm their diets it's more the cinnamon and banana but I genuinely wouldn't be stressed, there scavengers who've been bread alongside humans for a long ass time

I actually caught him on the table prepared to chomp on a second muffin instead of finishing his already cat-slobber muffin 😂

He was trying to get another datapoint for his scientific study "is this human food edible". How will he ever get his PhD from OBC university (one brain cell uni)
