 Your tiny tiger may have tried every kind of kibble from chicken to rabbit to fish, but can cats eat eggs? Yes, cats can eat eggs if you know the risks and benefits. Cooked eggs can be a great treat to add to your cat's mealtime routine. The protein in eggs is easy for cats to digest, and eggs are packed with amino acids that help maintain lean muscle. If you don't have time to scramble them up diner style, can cats eat eggs raw? Absolutely not, says the American Veterinary Medical Association. Just because, just like humans, cats can contract salmonella or E. coli bacteria from consuming raw eggs. As with any food, never feed it to your cat without checking with your veterinarian first.
