Can cats eat quail egg (cooked)?

OK to give

Boiled quail eggs are fine — not the soy-braised kind.

How much

Up to per day 13g about 1.3 pieces · 1 egg ≈ 10 g

4 kg adult cat, treats ≤10% of ~200 kcal/day

PreparationBoiled, peeled, cut up.

Why

Good protein like hen's eggs. Cut them so they're not swallowed whole. Soy-braised eggs are salty.
