While maple syrup is high in calories and I wouldn't recommend feeding a lot, I think it should be fine to mix a few drops with laxatone to get Fatboy to eat it. Maple syrup is not toxic to cats. If you're interested Vetoquinol makes a maple flavored laxatone that Fatboy might like. Sometimes I have cat owners put the laxatone on their cat's paws to make sure they lick all of it off.
