Under normal circumstances, cats can eat cooked egg whites. Protein has a relatively high nutritional value and is rich in nutrients. Proper amounts of protein cooked directly for cats can supplement nutrients for the body and help the body function normally. However, you need to pay attention to the intake when eating, and do not eat too much at one time. Because the cat's gastrointestinal tract is relatively sensitive and fragile, eating too much will cause damage to the gastrointestinal mucosa, affect the normal digestion and absorption of food, and may also cause gastrointestinal diseases. If a cat develops gastrointestinal discomfort after eating cooked protein, it is recommended that the owner take the cat to the hospital for treatment in time.

1. The benefits to the body of cats eating cooked egg whites

Egg whites contain nutrients such as protein, fat, carbohydrates, and vitamins, and are easily absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. After eating, they can provide benefits to the body. Providing the necessary nutrients is conducive to the normal operation of the body, and eating an appropriate amount every day can supplement the lack of calcium in the body and help promote normal bone development.

2. The harm to the body of cats if they eat too much cooked protein

The gastrointestinal tract of cats is relatively fragile. If they eat too much cooked protein for a long time, it will affect the speed of gastrointestinal motility. It can cause adverse reactions such as abdominal distension, stomach pain, and vomiting. In severe cases, it may increase the risk of functional indigestion and reflux esophagitis, affecting normal eating. Generally, after reducing the intake or stopping eating, the adverse reactions will subside on their own without the need for medication.

3. Daily dietary care for cats

In daily life, you can feed your cat your favorite cat food and canned cat food, so that the food is rich in nutrients and can replenish energy. You can also give your cat some goat milk or goat milk powder, which is beneficial to the absorption of calcium in the body and promotes bone development.
