My cat loves egg yolks. Is it safe to feed her 1-2 cooked yolks daily?

Eggs are fine to give to cats, even the white part, but only if they are cooked. You can scramble up a plain egg (no cheese, milk, salt, pepper, or seasonings) for your cat to have as an occasional treat. Just make sure the egg is fully cooked, raw eggs are not safe for cats. I hope this helps :-)

Hi and thanks for posting. It is okay to give your cat egg every once in a while as a treat, but should not be an every day event as eggs do have quite a bit of fat in them that could cause an upset stomach for a small 6 lb cat. As a treat once in a while, you could give a tablespoon or two of plain scrambled egg if you wish. I hope this helps and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

It's ok to give her boiled egg yolk but this is not going to solve the problem, if she is weak this is because she is ill, at her age it's very likely due to an infection, she needs to see a vet ASAP.

It’s ok if you are feeding them as “treats” as long as they are cooked and not raw. It is not necessarily “good” to do. The main part of any kitten/cat’s diet should be a food formulated for kittens/cats.

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Just like you or I, licking a bit of raw egg could be harmless (just like eating a bit of raw batter), however you can always be unlucky and get a nasty food poisoning. So, likely your kitty will be fine, and I would recommend just monitoring for now. If your cat starts vomiting, is sore, weak, having diarrhea, then it might be gastritis or food poisoning from the egg, which would require some medications and a vet visit to fix up. Just monitor for now though, as likely it will be fine. Best of luck!

I wouldn't recommend frying the eggs but giving scrambled eggs in moderation is okay to add into their food. Fried eggs have excess amounts of grease and can lead to GI upset so I would avoid frying any foods that you are giving to your two cats. I hope this helps!

Feeding cats raw eggs, peanut butter, popcorn and canned fish sound like old wives' tales with no scientific basis. :-) That said, it is fine to give Penelope a cooked egg 1-2 times per week in addition to a balanced commercial diet. It won't necessarily keep her healthier for longer, but it shouldn't do any harm.
