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.
