If a creature has a single Natural attack it can add 1 and 1/2 its strength modifier to the attack like when using a two handed weapon, if a creature that only has a single attack uses the power attack feat does that mean it treats that attack as a two handed weapon and therefore adds double the power attack bonus?

Nope. 1:1 power attack.

I would think so, yes. :smallconfused:

Is that specified anywhere? I don't think that's how it works.

Power Attack [General]
Prerequisite

Str 13.
Benefit

On your action, before making attack rolls for a round, you may choose to subtract a number from all melee attack rolls and add the same number to all melee damage rolls. This number may not exceed your base attack bonus. The penalty on attacks and bonus on damage apply until your next turn.
Special

If you attack with a two-handed weapon, or with a one-handed weapon wielded in two hands, instead add twice the number subtracted from your attack rolls. You can’t add the bonus from Power Attack to the damage dealt with a light weapon (except with unarmed strikes or natural weapon attacks), even though the penalty on attack rolls still applies. (Normally, you treat a double weapon as a one-handed weapon and a light weapon. If you choose to use a double weapon like a two-handed weapon, attacking with only one end of it in a round, you treat it as a two-handed weapon.)

A fighter may select Power Attack as one of his fighter bonus feats.

Two handed weapons get 1.5 strength =/= 1.5 strength means it is a two handed weapon.

Only two handed weapons get 2:1 power attack ratio (Leap Attack aside).
