    If you are looking to provide your cat with additional nourishment, one possible food might be eggs. Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine states: "Proteins with high biologic value can be readily converted to body proteins with minimal waste production. Animal proteins have a higher biologic value than vegetable proteins. Eggs have the highest biologic value."

    Some people choose to only feed the white, because this provides additional protein but does not contain high levels of phosphorus. According to the US Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Information Centre, one large egg white weighs about 33g and contains 17 calories, 3.6g protein, no fat and 5mg of phosphorus. This is a lot less phosphorus than a chicken breast, and the protein in eggs is more digestible. However, it is important to cook egg whites until they are hard, because uncooked egg white contains something called avidin, which combines with one of the B-complex vitamins (biotin) to make it unavailable, and CRF cats do need their B vitamins. Cooking the egg whites destroys the avidin.

    Some cats will eat cooked egg white voluntarily, or you can simply mix it into your cat's other food.

    Unless you have a cat that's a crazed monster, most cats don't eat eggs. The thing is: all cats have different tastes. If your cat happens to eat eggs, feed it cooked eggs. Even though carnivores have stronger stomach acids, it's best to not feed it raw eggs in case those raw eggs happen to contain harmful diseases. If your cat will eat the following, better treat it to pieces of store-bought ham, turkey, chicken, etc. As long as it's cooked, it shouldn't be harmful. Most cats will eat foods cold or chilled.
