Help me fact check this, or at least compare with your knowledge. I ran into this fact sheet from a random vet's office and I thought it was compelling enough to save. Still, I wonder if it's really necessary to completely villainize fish as food for cats. I do remember being warned off of too much fish for older male cats, in particular, but this seems to take the opinion that all fish is bad for all cats at all ages. If this is really a thing, I'll do it, but it sure is in a lot of food & treats for cats. This is a pdf called "Do Not Feed Fish To Your Cat" (linked). It seems to be from the All Cats Veterinary Clinic in Houston, Tx. I guess I won't link the clinic website since the home page pops up as a "security risk" for me.
To summarize: They cite fish as an allergen, and also link it with UTI, Hyperthyroidism, Addiction, Thiamin destruction, Low Calcium, and Vitamin E Depletion. They also talk about heavy metals content in fish, which frankly, should be a concern to us all. Your thoughts?
