Excessive consumption will cause a certain physical burden on the cat.
Cats should not eat too much egg yolk
However, although egg yolk is good, you should not eat too much. If the owner feeds the cat too much egg yolk, the cat will become obese and even develop fatty liver. Therefore, if the owner wants to feed his cat egg yolks, he only needs about two egg yolks a week.
Do not feed raw egg yolks to cats
Raw eggs contain a protease called avidin, which can reduce the absorption of B vitamins. And raw egg yolks can contain unkilled Salmonella, E. coli and Campylobacter. Salmonella is a type of bacteria that can cause food poisoning and intestinal diseases. It can easily cause acute gastroenteritis in cats. Once infected, it will cause considerable pain to cats.
