Are eggs safe for cats? Can my cat eat egg whites or just the yolk?

Question

I've heard that eggs are good for cats, but only the yolk. Is it true that cats can't eat the white part? I want to try feeding some to my cat but I want to be sure about this first.

Eggs are fine to give to cats, even the white part, but only if they are cooked. You can scramble up a plain egg (no cheese, milk, salt, pepper, or seasonings) for your cat to have as an occasional treat. Just make sure the egg is fully cooked, raw eggs are not safe for cats. I hope this helps :-)
