Eggs can be a nutritious treat for cats: high-quality animal protein, amino acids, and some B vitamins. They should be fully cooked. Raw egg whites contain avidin, which binds biotin and can contribute to biotin deficiency over time if raw whites are fed heavily. Raw eggs also carry salmonella risk for cats and people who handle bowls or faces.

Serve plain cooked egg without salt, butter, onion, garlic, or seasoning. Scrambled, boiled, or poached until set is fine. Chop or mash into small pieces to prevent gulping. Treats including egg should stay within the roughly ten percent guideline for daily calories so balanced cat food remains the dietary base.

Egg is a common ingredient in commercial diets; occasional home-cooked egg is different from attempting a raw or egg-heavy homemade diet without formulation help. Bengals, Siamese, and Maine Coons have no special egg rules beyond individual allergies or intolerance, which are uncommon but possible; introduce any new food gradually and watch for vomiting or diarrhea.

If your cat has pancreatitis history, obesity, or dietary restrictions, ask your veterinarian before adding rich extras. Egg yolk alone is less avidin concern than white, but cooking the whole egg is simplest and safest. For complete nutrition questions beyond treats, consult your vet or a board-certified veterinary nutritionist.
