This is an older post but I am curious about this comment, that in the wild cats don't eat fish. I have assumed that wild cats would eat fish in the streams and rivers (in the jungle for instance) and that is also why they are so facinated with water and so interested when they smell fish. Also the association traditionally of cats with fish. I have thought before about cats that would have had to drink from streams, etc. Is this something documented or common knowledge? I"ve been out of the loop the last few years and haven't heard this before. I am not feeding my cat fish based on reccomendations from this site. So my cat wont be getting any fish either way, but I am really suprised to hear that they would not have eaten fish in the wild. I'd love to hear any insight on this.
