Can cats eat Eggs?
Quick Answer:
Plain, cooked eggs are generally safe and highly nutritious for cats in small portions.
Why it matters:
Cooked eggs are a great source of protein and amino acids. However, they should only be served cooked and unseasoned. Raw eggs carry risk of Salmonella and E. coli, and raw egg whites contain avidin, which blocks biotin absorption.
What to check on the label:
- •Raw egg whites
- •Salt, butter, pepper, or onion/garlic seasonings
- •Egg shells (choking/blockage risk)
Symptoms to watch for:
- •Stomach upset (if too much is eaten)
- •Symptoms of bacterial infection (fever, severe diarrhea, vomiting - if raw eggs eaten)
When to contact a veterinarian:
Contact a vet if your cat ate raw eggs and is vomiting, lethargic, or showing signs of gastrointestinal distress.
