Can cats eat boiled egg?

Why

Eggs are a good source of protein and essential amino acids that cats need, but they should only be served plain and fully cooked to avoid bacteria like salmonella. Because eggs are calorie-dense, they should only be an occasional treat and not a replacement for a balanced cat food diet.

If you do feed it

• Serve only plain, fully cooked eggs with no salt, butter, oil, or seasonings.
• Limit treats to no more than one small egg per week for an average adult cat.
• Cut the egg into small, bite-sized pieces to prevent choking.
• Introduce slowly and monitor for any signs of digestive upset or allergies.

Watch out for

• raw or undercooked eggs (risk of salmonella)
• seasoned, fried, or scrambled eggs with salt and butter
• hard-boiled eggshells (choking hazard)
• egg dishes containing onions, garlic, or chives (toxic)
