Last night my cat ate some white chocolate off our gingerbread house. She is acting fine but I was wondering if chocolate has the same effect on cat as it does on dogs?

White chocolate isn't really chocolate, so your cat will be OK. It's cocoa that contains the compound that causes toxicity. So yes, the darker the chocolate the more potentialy harmful it will be. But there's no cocoa in white chocolate so no need to worry.

the theobromine in the chocolate is what is toxic, the chocolate toxicity goes for cats as well as dogs. I do not believe your cat will get sick from what little it ate but keep an eye on it for vomitting. Chocolate has the same effects on cats as it does on dogs

Chocolate is toxic to pretty much all animals, including cats.
Depending on how much she ate, and whether it was dark or milk chocolate (dark chocolate is MUCH more toxic), she may e more at risk.
If she only had a tiny bit, she should be fine, but take in account what type it was as well. Keep and eye on her!

Chocolate is bad for both dogs and cats. The darker the color, the worse the chocolate is, also the amount that the pet ingested. Best thing to do is keep an eye on her; in fact, please call your vet for advice.

It's like poison to cats. You'll want to watch your cat for a few days. Any little sign of her/him showing signs of distress, get her/him to a vet. Take it from someone who knows...
