My cat just drank some hot chocolate?

Question

I was reading a book and noticed my cat was drinking hot chocolate I had made. I don’t know how much she drank but I don’t think it was a lot. It’s Swiss Miss hot chocolate so it’s not cocoa powder. When I got her away from it she started to throw up. Do you think my cat will be okay?

Chocolate’s not okay for cats, but the concentration in hot chocolate would probably not be high enough to harm her. It’s possible it could be a problem if she’s vomiting, as that is one symptom that is caused by theobromine (a chemical in chocolate) poisoning. However, inducing vomiting is also how a vet would treat a cat that ate chocolate. She is probably just fine; cats vomit often and it is the best thing they can do if they’ve eaten chocolate, but it would not be a bad idea to call your vet to get their professional opinion.

There isn’t so much as a drop of real chocolate in that cup. That cat is probably throwing up from the sugar content. The cat will be fine; just make sure it’s water dish has fresh water in it and that she is drinking.

She should be fine. If she started to throw up that’s good because she is getting it out of her system. I would call your vet just to be sure but I’m almost positive this isn’t anything too serious.
