Healthy weight gain comes from nutritious, balanced food—add lean meat, beef, eggs, and fish for protein and muscle; olive, fish, or coconut oil for fatty acids and energy and coat quality; split meals into 4–5 daily to raise intake.

What Happens If a Cat Eats Raw Egg?
An occasional raw egg usually causes no big problem, but a cat's gut can't digest it well and it may bring bacteria or parasites, so avoid raw egg.

Yolk benefits coat, vision, immunity, and blood, but limit to 2-3 a week; obese, kidney-diseased, or allergic cats should avoid eggs entirely.
