'Tuna bad for cats?'

Tuna bad for cats?

wildcard from the swamp -

I read somewhere that feeding your cats tuna from a can regularly is actually bad for them. I have no idea if this is true or why it would be bad and I can't remember what all the article said. Has anyone else heard this and can you tell me why?

You're correct. Tuna is not good for cats. Cat food is good for cats. Occasional tuna is probably OK, but better safe than sorry.

Yes your cats need nutrition just like any other animal or humans. They need a variety of nutrients and they cannot get that just by eating tuna.

As much as I'v heard about cats and tuna it does not sound to good. So why take a chance. Stick to the tuna that is prepared by the pet food companies and keep the canned tuna that you buy at the grocery store for your tuna helper and tuna clubs.
