Do you give your cats canned tuna or salmon?

Whenever I open a can of tuna or salmon my cats both drive me nuts til I give them a tiny bit. I`ve heard that it can cause urinary track problems . Is this true? Or is it OK to give it to them?

We used to give Charley tinned tuna from time to time. It was more of a treat than part of her staple diet, although as she got older there were times when tuna was all she would eat It didn't seem to do her any harm and she lived till nearly 19.

the drain off water/liquid from tuna. But I stopped using tuna when the
mercury warnings came out. Humans are not recommended to eat tuna
(albacore) more than once a month!! I would worry about cats, since they are so small, any mercury there would be a bigger issue for them than us.

I do buy canned salmon however, and most of it is probably farmed,
and would perhaps have less mercury. They slurp it up, big time as it is a very
rare treat.
I call it "tuna waa waa"... and if I put up that call, there is a quick response,
always.

I give them tuna like once every 6 months!

For me canned tuna is a regular part of their diet. It's been years and there hasn't been any problems.

Hello, mine get tuna, but without oil only. Here tuna in water is available (in cans).

My cats like cat tuna, but they don't care for people tuna!

They get a small treat of Tuna once every 2 weeks, but turn their nose up at salmon!!

I usually let my cats have a small sample of my tuna when I'm making a sandwich. It's more like a "treat" for them than a regular part of their diet. I also only buy the canned tuna in water and not oil.

I only give shaved dried tuna (bonito) or freeze-dried salmon cubes...none of the canned stuff, though on occasion I'll give a fishy cat food.

Freeze dried salmon cubes?? who makes them and where do you get them??

Mine do not get canned tuna. They do get fish flavored cat foods.

Sash has a little tuna on occasion. I hate tuna and never buy it, but occasionally my boyfriend will pick some up and treat Sash to some too and he loves it!

Very rarely they get some as a treat.

A small amount of tuna as a treat about once a week.
