Question:
I have a cat named Old Tom. My doctor says I can't eat egg yolks anymore, and I try not to, but when I fry eggs Old Tom meows at the door.Are the yolks hurting Old Tom (he's only 4)? I can almost see him smile when he gets the yolks that I can't eat anymore.

Answer:
All things in moderation for man and beast alike! Give no more than one egg yolk daily (lightly cooked) or two every other day to Old Tom.Egg yolk is a complete source of protein and good for cats, but caution with older cats and cats with kidney disease is called for. Unlike human beings, cats do not develop atherosclerosis from elevated "bad" cholesterol. Cooking with olive oil or sesame oil will help lower your cholesterol and will give Old Tom a shiny coat!
