Cats can eat egg yolk in moderation. Egg yolk is nutritious and a good source of fat and some protein, making it a healthy treat for cats when given occasionally. However, egg yolk is high in fat and calories, so it should not be a regular or primary part of their diet to avoid risks like obesity or pancreatitis. It is safest to feed egg yolk cooked, such as in boiled eggs, to reduce the risk of bacterial contamination. Egg whites, which are mostly protein with little fat, are also safe and beneficial for cats, preferably cooked for better protein absorption. Avoid seasoning or additives when feeding eggs to cats.
