Cats can eat egg yolks, but not egg whites. Egg yolk is rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, lecithin and other nutrients needed by cats, and the lecithin in it also has the effect of beautifying hair. Eating egg white for a long time will cause cats to suffer from anorexia, weight loss, and other symptoms. Diarrhea occurs, so it is recommended that when giving eggs to cats, cat owners should fully cook the eggs and feed egg yolks in appropriate amounts.

Precautions for cats eating eggs:

1. Although eggs are very good for cats, they still cannot use eggs as their staple food.

2. When feeding eggs, try to cook them in plain water without adding seasonings; cooked eggs contain less antibiotic protein than raw eggs, and antibiotic proteins will hinder cats’ absorption of vitamin b7.

3. If you want to choose raw eggs, it is best to buy sterile eggs, because ordinary raw eggs may put cats at risk of salmonella, E. coli and campylobacter.

4. It is usually not recommended for cats under 3 months old to eat eggs, because the cat’s digestive system is not yet complete at this time and may cause indigestion. Cats over three months old can eat cooked egg yolks, but be sure not to feed them egg whites. You can separate the yolks from hard-boiled eggs and mix them into your cat's food.
