Is it ok to give your cat cooked chicken and salmon?

I always give Lucifer chicken or salmon whenever we eat it, which is at least once a week. I also give him raw eggs yolks maybe once or twice a month. Is this ok? 

As a treat it is probably OK, although I would limit the salmon since fish in general is high in toxins and magnesium and phosphorus. If you're giving it as a meal, there are several nutrients lacking, plus the fact that it is cooked means that the cooking process destroyed some nutrients and made others less bioavailable. I haven't fed raw eggs on a regular basis, but some of the raw feeders do.

This is acceptable as long as it is less then 15% of his total diet. A bit of Salmon limited to once a week should be ok also. And yes giving raw yolks is fine. Many give it more often, but be careful as it can cause soft stools, but I think you can give it up to a couple of times a week (possibly daily?) without it causing issues.

I would be cautious about what is cooked WITH the chicken or salmon.  Cats should not have onions or garlic, and be sure there are no chicken bones that are cooked.  That's definitely a no no. 

Raw egg yolks are GREAT!  You could do that once or twice a week even...they are that healthy!  (but fattening, so keep that in mind if Lucifer is inclined to be chubby .
