Are you giving him enough bone? Raw egg is okay once in a while. I personally don't feed it as even my feral cat does not like them. I probably would not give egg shells if you are giving enough bone. If you do decide to give egg shells, dry them out and grind them up. It's usually a pinch per meal to replace bone. It's just calcium and minerals.

Found this:

I see no problems with feeding your cat raw egg yolks from time to time. But try to avoid raw egg whites, as these contain a protein called avidin that can bind to certain B vitamins and prevent their absorption.³

I give them to my dog every once in a while (just the shells after I use the egg myself, I gave him a whole egg once and he got the runs, he's a small dog so maybe too much as once) and he eats them just fine. Looks sharp to me but so far so good.
