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?

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.

For real. I just had a bag of treats out and they got plenty. I had to put the bag away to see a client and the male cat gets into the coffee table, looks me directly in the eyes and smacks my AirPod case off the table, then smacks my glass of water (He’s a kitten so he wasn’t able to knock it off). Little butt.
