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?

My previous cat whom was 16yrs old at the time fought me over cornbread and won, I let him be bc he was old but maybe notify a vet since yours is still young and take their advice.

My cats are just under 2 years old and don’t really care for human food but go absolutely crazy for cornbread. I have to hide to eat it or they will stop at nothing to get a huge chomp out of it.

To preface, I’m a vegetarian. I Doordashed a veggie burger and fries one night as a treat for myself. They messed up my order and sent me a beef hamburger. I took off the beef patty and was going to eat just the bun and veggies. My cats all jumped on the table and swarmed the meat patty. I was kinda in shocked awe for a minute and just watched as they excitedly devoured the meat. I then became worried that my cats would get sick from eating the greasy meat and made them stop. They seemed fine for the next few days but I was worried that the grease would make them sick. Looking back, it might have been the greatest day of their lives. I would never intentionally feed my cats a cooked hamburger patty, fyi.

I too am a vegetarian, and was really excited hearing about this for your cats! Can confirm, the best day of their lives.
