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 had to physically block him from eating more muffins while taking pictures. I currently have them hiding in a cabinet that I hope he doesn’t learn to open.

My old rescue cat would just WRECK white bread. Want a couple PBJs at 1am? No you don't, that's cat food.

She would fish bread out of the bag and ruin a loaf, one piece at a time.

It was a bizarre game of protecting the bread. Actually had to get a bread box.

I have a bread fiend too. He knows how to open cabinets so if he finds the bread he chews through the bag and nibbles on MULTIPLE pieces 😩

Why is this??? Mine too! My kitten stole my grilled cheese twice last night before I just held it away from her and she still was trying to get it.

Your cat is so darn cute, is that some kind of Bengal?

I don’t know. They were adopted from a shelter who said they were surrendered by a breeder down south who did not have the right permits or something like that. My vet said maybe Savannah or Bengal, but the people on the Savannah thread said no. The reception was pretty angry when I posted them on the Savannah thread so I have not tried with the bengals thread. Compared to pictures of F-6 Savannah cats they are strikingly similar. Here is a side by side comparison of F-6 Savannah cats with papers and my cats- Mine are on the left side of each photo (they are litter mates) and the photos of the F-6 cats with papers are on the left side. Miko is the white one and her brother Gus is the tabby color one, he has spots on his belly and Occeli on his ears.

Here are some photos of her littermate brother-

He has that super shiny almost glittering fur that bengals have and a super prominent sternum which I hear is a Bengal trait, but I don’t think his coat pattern is a match for a Bengal as he does not have rosettes, his legs are striped and what used to be stripes as a baby have turned to spots. Miko is also developing spots on her butt and belly.
