Many companies still claim that plant based dry food is acceptable for felines, even though it's known to cause many health issues and is not a species appropriate diet..

I also feed Innova and am going to switch to a grainless dry this week. My cats like tuna and I am not going to take it away from them. Your right about $ companies $ claiming that plant based dry food is acceptable for felines and it causes health issues. All those plant based ingredients are just fillers.

I have tried many $ commercial $ canned foods and they don't like it or they used to vomit it, or they would eat it a few days and then not at all.

I listen to my cats and not $ companies $.

I now think about the "listening to my cats, no the companies" thing. My cats LOVE Purina. I LOVE McDonalds. We know those aren't the best. Heck, my cats really really really loved the Nutro pouches, which could've potentially killed them.

Give an 8 year old a choice between McDonald's(tuna) & a salad(canned food). They'll go for the McDonalds.

However, I will add, moderation is the key!

Tuna will affect each cat differently...some may never develop any health problems. Then there's my Ophelia. One bite of tuna & I gave her a UTI, crystals, & one very awful vet visit.
