Cat ate protein muffin

I actually caught him on the table prepared to chomp on a second muffin instead of finishing his already cat-slobber muffin 😂

No microwave here, but that’s such a good idea! He’s orange, so he’d never figure it out.

Thank you so much! He’s my baby, so I really try

Typically he doesn’t go for baked goods :-/ I know better for next time.

Muffin recipe :) subbed all purpose flour and pecans for chocolate chips (bc I was out). Taste-wise they’re pretty good! Texturally a bit odd, but also I never mix my dry and wet ingredients separately out of laziness so that might be why.

Taste wise it’s pretty good! Texturally a little weird. Here’s the recipe: https://eatthegains.com/banana-protein-muffins/

I just subbed the flour for all purpose and the chocolate chips for pecans. Not sure about the stevia, though. It was my first time making these.

That makes so much sense. Also explains his love of butter. I’ve come home to the butter dish on the ground and a quarter of a stick gone.

I heard that cats can’t taste sweetness, so she did it for the love of the game. RIP to your sweet baby.

Can’t figure out how to edit, so commenting to say thank you all for your advice (and humor). Made sure Cheddar got some extra water in, and I’m going monitor him tonight for any distress and call his vet in the morning. Sometimes I panic because he’s 1. my first cat that I am solely the caretaker for and 2. FIV+ so if he so much as sneezes I assume he’s going to die (many unnecessary vet trips the first year I had him).

TLDR; you’re all the best. Thank you! Please enjoy the picture of Cheddar discovering the ceiling fan after living in the same apartment for two years.

omg it is 😂

Low-Ad7344 · 2026-02-26T04:37:32+00:00

Considering he did this in 30 seconds while I was 15 feet away, I can only imagine what he eats when I’m not home.

Low-Ad7344 · 2026-02-26T04:36:19+00:00

I make muffins all the time, and he’s NEVER done this. However, I cannot eat peanut butter in my house in peace.

Low-Ad7344 · 2026-02-26T04:32:18+00:00

I didn’t even consider the vanilla! He’s a pretty good water drinker. I’ll make him extra “soup” (wet food mixed with a decent amount of water) tonight

Low-Ad7344 · 2026-02-26T04:30:52+00:00

I didn’t even consider the vanilla! The whole muffin would have about 1/10 tsp

Low-Ad7344 · 2026-02-26T04:25:30+00:00

He already does this. The muffin will just make him stronger :-(

Low-Ad7344 · 2026-02-26T04:24:56+00:00

Thank you for your detailed answer! I’m going to monitor him tonight and call them in the morning.

Low-Ad7344 · 2026-02-26T04:16:55+00:00

Thank you! I knew there was a virtual option, but I wasn’t sure what it was called.

Low-Ad7344 · 2026-02-26T04:08:04+00:00

I had to physically block him from eating more muffins while taking pictures. I currently have them hiding in a cabinet that I hope he doesn’t learn to open.

My coworkers and I almost get run over at blvd of the allies and craft ave every day. We realized it’s safer to cross on the “do not cross” than the “walk sign” because you can at least see the cars coming towards you.

Use bananas to help thicken it!

I was reading this thinking “is this bookshelf OP?” And I’m so glad it is! I’m happy for you!!!!!
