I know pets need to ingest a certin amount of chocolate before it can be toxic/fetal.. but what about a 6-7 pound cat? I fixed my mom a chocolate brownie that had vanilla icing on it and long story short there was a pinprick or two sized icing with tiny bits of brownie in it. The icing was wiped up but smeared a little on the floor before I knew about it and swept... could i have spread the smear around by sweeping over it? I think i mopped all the places it may have been spread been to...

Hi, cats can get chocolate toxicity too but it really depends on the amount of chocolate ingested and the weight of the cat. If it is a very small amount there should not be reasons to worry, If in doubt, best to have her checked over.
