Can cats eat eggs?

We know that they enjoy meat, but can cats eat eggs? The short answer is, yes they can! Cooked eggs are safe for cats, unlike the foodstuffs in 8 human foods that are poisonous to cats.

Cats in the wild will eat eggs found in nests for extra protein and calories. Domestic cats however are usually fed on the best cat food, which should provide them with all of the nutrients they need. But many pet parents like to give their cat an additional treat now and then (check out our Are Cat Treats Healthy? page). In this article, we will look at eggs in more detail as well as how you can safely give them to your cats.
