You aren't telling it what obj/cheese is. You need to create a reference.

var/obj/cheese/c = locate(/obj/cheese)
for(var/mob/rat/M in view())
    walk_to(M, c, 1, 5)

walk_to(M,locate(/obj/cheese),1,5)

the rat still walks to the cheese when the cheese is in the usr inventory

Then maybe you should do it the way I told you to. That way, you can check for things like that.

var/obj/cheese/c = locate(/obj/cheese)
if(istype(c.loc, /mob))
    return // If the cheese is in a mob's contents, stop
for(var/mob/rat/M in view())
    walk_to(M, c, 1, 5)
