Hello!

My aunt and uncle live in the Seychelles, and my uncle works for the Indian Ocean Tuna Commision - he'd probably know! I'll drop them an email and see if I can find out


Cheers

If you mean to feed your darling cat (she's adorable, how old?) human fish as a main diet, you would be far better off feeding a commercially available cat food, a canned (wet) fish flavor I'm sure would be enjoyed, and also dry food as a snack. Or, you could use the fish after you find out about the mercury and magnesium content to prepare a homemade diet with supplements if you need to, all of these would be available online to have them shipped to you.

Heh, you don't know what the Seychelles is like
My aunt has issues with stuff being sent to her from the family, let alone things being sent from a website TO the Seychelles

What do kitties usually eat in the Seychelles? I have always wanted to visit. Is there a vet on your island? Maybe he could give you some advice on a balanced diet for your kitty. What a cute kitty!

I would be more concerned about a nutrient imbalance if you're only feeding fish. Certain kinds of fish (like tuna) can cause steatitis (yellow fat disease) when fed in large quantities because they don't provide enough vitamin E.
