Eggs are very healthy for cats, but they also pose risks to the cat. As a cat owner, you can take care to avoid these health risks.<\/p>\n

As carnivores, cats need a protein-rich diet. Eggs contain a lot of protein and generally have a high nutritional value. The body can absorb and utilise the protein from the egg better than from other protein-rich foods. The egg yolk is also very good for coat growth and appearance. The two potential dangers of feeding raw eggs are salmonella and biotin deficiency.<\/p>\n

Feeding raw eggs to cats<\/strong><\/p>\n There is a common belief that cats are immune to salmonella poisoning because feral cats eat raw meat and eggs. It is not very common for a cat to get salmonella poisoning, but it can happen. The salmonella bacteria are destroyed when the egg is cooked, but the raw egg has a much higher nutritional value for the cat than the cooked one.<\/p>\n Raw egg whites contain an enzyme that reduces the absorption of biotin and thus possibly causes a biotin deficiency. However, nutritionists estimate that you would have to eat at least two eggs a day over a longer period of time to cause deficiency symptoms. If one occasionally feeds a raw egg white, biotin deficiency is unlikely.<\/p>\n To ensure that the cat does not get a biotin deficiency, only the raw egg yolk should be fed.<\/p>\n Eggs are very healthy for cats, but also pose risks for the cat.
