What are the benefits of cats eating egg yolk? Actually, there are no special benefits
Our life becomes less boring if we have pets because we interact closely with them and learn about their dietary preferences and lifestyle hobbies. Today we are talking about pet cats. Cats are relatively independent and aloof animals; they have their own living habits, usually not interacting much with their owners, let alone being affectionate. Cats only call their owners to feed them when they are hungry. Regarding cats' diet, if you don’t understand it well, it’s best to feed cat food and not feed casually. Today let's understand what benefits cats eating egg yolk have?
For us humans, eggs are very nutritious. We eat at least one egg every day, which is beneficial for our growth. What effect does the egg yolk in eggs have on cats? A cat's fur is particularly eye-catching, and egg yolk helps beautify a cat's fur. If owners feed egg yolk to cats long-term, it can also improve the cat's health. However, when feeding egg yolk to cats, owners should not feed too much at once; otherwise, the cat may lose appetite for other foods. Eating too much at one time can also cause cats to have internal heat.
If you have kittens at home, you don't need to feed them egg yolk. Generally, the cat food for kittens is especially rich in nutrition, and feeding egg yolk additionally may not be as effective. When cats are about four months old, you can start feeding them egg yolk. Usually, one whole egg yolk is fed at a time, but when feeding egg yolk, the yolk needs to be mixed evenly with the cat food, stirred well
before feeding it to the cat, because egg yolk is relatively dry. If a cat eats only egg yolk, it can easily choke.
The egg yolk we refer to is cooked yolk, not raw yolk. Raw eggs contain bacteria, and if not sterilized by high temperature, bacteria entering the cat’s stomach can easily cause illness. Therefore, owners need to be very careful when feeding. Besides mixing egg yolk with cat food, it can also be mixed with the cat’s favorite canned food, which also tastes good and cats especially love.
