I don't think it will do them any harm as our Vet has suggested feeding Hank a little rice or pasta after he was neutered as it wouldn't be too rich for their stomach. So I certainly don't think it will cause harm but I wouldn't give him a lot, perhaps just as a treat or to add a little variety now and then is OK.

Egg is fine but not pasta as it is a carbohydrate so not ideal for cats.

Having said that, I have a cat that goes mad for pasta, sweetcorn, prawn crackers, sausages....the list is endless and it doesn't do him any harm when he swipes the odd piece!

thanks both it is only small amounts so will keep it as an occasional treat for her
