Verdict
Cooked eggs are a highly digestible, complete protein source for cats, rich in essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. They are a natural part of a feline diet. Always cook eggs fully — raw eggs carry Salmonella risk and contain avidin that blocks biotin absorption.
Symptoms to watch for
- • Salmonella symptoms from raw egg: vomiting, diarrhea
- • biotin deficiency (raw white, chronic)
What to do
Scrambled or hard-boiled eggs with no salt or seasoning are perfect. One egg several times a week is a great protein supplement.
