It’s not because they know to avoid chocolate, it’s because they’re not attracted to sweet things (cats lack tastebuds for sweet). I was making some chocolate buttercream frosting that my cat was highly interested in, though.

They’re attracted to the fat/oil in it as that’s one of the tastes they have
