Boiled eggs?!Alfie ate half a hard boiled egg this evening ..... here is the story.... I fancied egg sandwiches for work tomorrow. I boiled the eggs and took the shell off them and left them in a bowl on the side (to cool) while I ate my tea. I went back into the kitchen to see half of an egg had been gobbled up and Alfie was stood licking his lips.# Will it harm him? Or will he have smelly side effects/be bunged up? Thanks Tanya

I'm no vet but I shouldn't think it would do him any harm at all. Eggs are nutritious, cats would probably eat them raw in the wild when they could. Mine have always loved a little bit of scrambled egg with no side effects ..... |

I don't think it will harm him ..... just a plain boiled egg. Several Catsey cats seem to like scrambled egg ..... whether he will suffer smelly after-effects ..... time will tell! |

Found this for you, Tanya. Perfectly safe, as it wasn't a raw egg .... chance of salmonella! http://www.suite101.com/content/can-...-eggs-a188200# |

I agree, won't do him any harm at all. Eggs are very nutritious and I regularly give my dogs raw eggs. I don't think the cats would eat them!! |

My Mindy used to like raw eggs. She quite happily lapped it up. But I didnt give her too many! |

I'm aware of the salmonella/raw egg bit, but have always let the resident cat lick the bowl that I'd beaten the eggs in ........ |

AJ actually likes stealing a bit of fried egg sometimes  Boiled and scrambled egg are definately the healthier options, but try telling him that Our boys used to like scrambled egg, especially Rhino and Hernie, but lately have gone off it maybe its because AJ has been telling them the joys of having it fried instead |
