No, in fact one to three teaspoons daily of live-culture yogurt is recommended for aiding with a cats digestive health. Try for a yogurt with very low to no sugar, as the sugars can irritate the bowels. It is good for helping alleviate diarrhea, gas, and stomach cramps, as it helps keep the good bacteria in the intestines at healthy levels. It's best to try a plain yogurt first. Be sure the yogurt does not contain lactose or is low in lactose - as lactose can upset the stomach.

If your cat displays any negative reaction to the yogurt discontinue. Consult a vet if your cat has prolonged episodes of diarrhea, it can be a sign of a bowel disease.

There are two problems with giving your cat raw eggs. The first is the possibility of food poisoning from bacteria like salmonella or E. coli. The second is that a protein in raw egg whites, called avidin, interferes with the absorption of the B vitamin biotin. This can cause skin problems as well as problems with your cat's coat.

Not really, no. Cats are lactose intolerant so yoghurt will upset their stomach.

I disagree. My cat eats a heaping teaspoon every time I'm eating it in her company and it's an important part of kitten formula.
