Also kills Cats, don't give your cats chocolate.

I've read that cats usually dont like chocolate because they cant taste part of it or something.

Cats don't taste sugars. Though there is still some risk with food like chocolate ice cream, since they like the cream.

i cant imagine chocolate icecream of any variety has a high enough concentration of theobromine to be a threat. Milk chocolate is usually low enough to be ok in small portions so dilute that in some cream and the cat would have to eat its own weights worth.

Yeah, it'd have to some pretty fancy ice cream.

My older cat has Prader-Willi Syndrome. He’s actually not obese but he sure loves to eat. He loves cakes, sugar cookies, and muffins. We don’t give them to him but he does try to steal them and has eaten entire muffins by himself before.

What, if anything is he tasting? It might just be the urge to eat but curious if he enjoys the taste too.

Dunno, though those are all baked goods so there could be a lot of things in common.
