I know pets need to ingest a certin amount of chocolate before it can be toxic/fetal.. but what about a 6-7 pound cat? I fixed my mom a chocolate brownie that had vanilla icing on it and long story short there was a pinprick or two sized icing with tiny bits of brownie in it. The icing was wiped up but smeared a little on the floor before I knew about it and swept... could i have spread the smear around by sweeping over it? I think i mopped all the places it may have been spread been to...

I think Mirz will likely be fine. The most toxic chocolate is the unsweetened baker's chocolate. Milk chocolate and white chocolate are the least toxic. It doesn't sound like she got enough to make her sick based on what you said above. I recommend you just monitor her closely for any abnormal behavior or symptoms. Here is a link to an article about chocolate in cats. This may help you determine if you think she ate too much. https://www.petful.com/pet-health/can-cats-eat-chocolate/ If you are worried at all then take her to your vet ASAP. It is better to be safe than sorry in most instance.s Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Hi, cats can get chocolate toxicity too but it really depends on the amount of chocolate ingested and the weight of the cat. If it is a very small amount there should not be reasons to worry, If in doubt, best to have her checked over.
