Can my cat get sick from unseen chocolate cookie pieces on carpet?

Question

I dropped a small through medium chocolate chip cookie onto my carpet floor by accident, and My question is would there be any Chocolate chip pieces or anything like that, in my carpet that I can't see but my cat could get a hold of? I looked for any and ran my hand over the area looking for any but couldn't see any both before and after running my hand in that area. My vacuums broken so I can't vacc my floor. Is it possible that I can run a damp cloth over the area instead to clean it? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 7 years and 9 months old | 7 lbs

It seems like you've done a very thorough job of searching for any chips and it's not likely that there would be nearly enough chocolate (if there is any) to cause toxic effects in the rare chance that your cat found and ate some. It takes quite a bit more than a chip or two to cause toxic effects, so I really wouldn't worry too much. In order for you to determine the potential for toxicity, I recommend you use the chocolate toxicity calculator at the link below. This will give you an idea of how much is too much. http://veterinaryclinic.com/chocolate/calc.html I hope that helps and all is well with Mirz.
