Cats can eat steamed eggs, but be careful to only give them egg yolks. The nutrients in eggs are basically in the yolks, while the ingredients in egg whites cannot be digested and absorbed by pets. Egg yolk is rich in fat-soluble vitamins, monounsaturated fatty acids, lecithin, phosphorus, iron and other trace elements. Egg yolk has the functions of protecting the heart, moisturizing the skin, and protecting eyesight.

Precautions for cats eating steamed eggs

1. When steaming eggs for cats, be careful not to add oil or add any condiments.

2. Cats cannot digest and absorb egg white. Feeding egg white will burden the cat’s gastrointestinal tract and cause vomiting and diarrhea.

3. Be careful to break the eggs into small pieces and feed them to cats to prevent them from swallowing the whole egg, which may cause breathing difficulties and be life-threatening.

4. Eggs do not need to be used as staple food or fed frequently. They can be fed 2-3 times a week. Feeding too much will cause indigestion in pets.
