Canned tuna is good for my cat?
Its fine to give a bit of tuna now and then as a treat, but you would not want to feed this as a regular part of your cat's every day diet. Human-grade tuna is not complete as in there is no taurine, vitamins and minerals which cats need.

Canned tuna can be a good treat in moderation, but I wouldn't feed it as a meal. Fish can be problematic if fed too frequently due to concerns over mercury and phosphorus levels, and the canned tuna intended for humans doesn't contain the vitamins and taurine required for cats that are included in cat food.

In addition to the above concerns cats can become fish addicted and refuse to eat anything but fish or fish flavored cat food. Fish is also has minerals in it that can promote UTIs. Feed fish only once or twice a week.
