Is it okay for a cat to have one egg a day?

Cats can eat one egg a day. Cats may develop diarrhea after feeding eggs. You can closely observe the cat's defecation after feeding. If there are any abnormalities, it is recommended to stop feeding. Eggs are rich in nutrients, especially protein, lecithin and other nutrients. However, eggs also contain relatively high cholesterol. It is recommended to feed them in moderation. If the cat itself is obese, it is not recommended to feed them.

Benefits of eating eggs for cats:

1. Eggs are nutritionally comprehensive, and the content of amino acids and trace elements almost reaches the gold standard required by animals.

2. The lecithin in egg yolk can make the cat’s hair softer.

3. The lecithin in egg yolk is also a fat emulsifier, which can emulsify hair fat and help cats eliminate hair balls from their stomach.

4. The rich fat content in eggs will also make cats feel delicious and increase their appetite.
