After cats eat chocolate, they will have problems such as accelerated heartbeat, accelerated breathing, irregular heartbeat, loss of appetite, etc., which will have a great impact on the cat's health.

Theobromine contained in chocolate is a central nervous system stimulant. Its effects when applied to cats are as follows:

1. For the central nervous system: A small amount can excite the cerebral cortex and reduce fatigue, but a large amount can produce neurological symptoms such as cramps and trembling.

2. For the cardiovascular system: It can speed up the heartbeat and easily cause arrhythmia.

3. For the urinary system: It can promote the elimination of sodium, chloride and potassium ions from urine and has a diuretic effect.

4. On the gastric mucosa: It can stimulate the gastric mucosa to secrete gastric acid, causing vomiting.

5. On bronchial smooth muscle: has a relaxing effect.

Symptoms of poisoning caused by cats eating too much chocolate:

Symptoms of poisoning vary depending on the content of theobromine eaten, the amount eaten, and the weight of the pet itself.

Including:

1. Loss of appetite, salivation, vomiting, and diarrhea.

2. Frequent urination - Because theobromine has a diuretic effect, pets will urinate frequently, which can be used as a diagnostic indicator.

3. Central nervous system excitement, restlessness, trembling, unsteady steps, cramps, and severe coma.

4. Rapid heartbeat, rapid breathing, irregular heartbeat, and in severe cases, heart failure and death.

Generally, symptoms will occur 2-4 hours after cats and dogs eat chocolate products, and in severe cases, they will die within 1-2 days. If consumed in small amounts in batches for several days, theobromine will accumulate in the body, making it difficult to excrete it, causing chronic heart failure and death.
