The vet will first ask what was in the cake to assess the risk. They may run blood tests to check organ function, especially if chocolate or xylitol is suspected, and provide supportive care like fluids and anti-nausea medication. Recovery is usually quick if treatment starts early, but monitoring at home for lingering vomiting or lethargy for the next 24 hours is important. If your cat shows any signs like drooling or weakness, contact your own vet right away.
