Hi guys,my hubby just baked a batch of buns and covered them with melted milk cooking chocolate..He went into the kitchen and scared Louie who had jumped up onto the worktop.Louie stepped over a bun and managed to cover his underside with chocolate!!! I have tried to get most of it off and at best have diluted it with water he is obviously going to wash himself and I had read that chocolate was toxic to cats do you think he will be fine with this small amount?

He should be ok but you might get some dodgy poo depending on how strong his stomach is!!

My Oscar will happily eat chocolate with no adverse effects so Louie should be just fine with only a little bit on him.

It's when we feed them these kind of things very regularly and over a period of time that the problems come along. Now & again shouldn't do any harm.

Just keep an eye on him to be on the safe side and make sure he gets plenty of fluid if he does get a runny bottom.

the main symptom to look out for with choc is staggering/panting - he *should* be fine but if in doubt/worried by any behaviour just pop to vets - for your own peace of mind if nothing else

Thanks guys,he does have a weak tummy so better expect some runny poo..He is sulking under the table at the moment but will keep a close eye on him.
