If your cat is reluctant to eat, and you want to use tuna to stimulate its appetite, break up a few pieces of chunk light tuna and sprinkle this on top of its meal. Canned tuna can be really useful for helping stressed or senior cats to regain their appetites. Give Sparingly

The main source of protein in this recipe appears to be sardines. It is a fish-based wet canned food formula made with fresh sardines and tuna. Canola oil is the main source of added fat. The food contains 792 kcal/kg or about 135 kcal per 6-ounce can. Canola oil is the only source of added fat, though the fresh tuna likely provides a decent amount of omega-3 fatty acids. These symptoms can be due to other factors besides overeating canned tuna. Nevertheless, if you suspect you are feeding your cat too much tuna, you should reduce the amount. When Cats Shouldn’t Eat Tuna Fish Over time, cats can develop an unhealthy addiction to tuna. Some cats may become extremely fussy about food and refuse to eat anything besides tuna.Tuna is not appropriate for your cat’s primary diet because it is not nutritionally balanced. Cats require certain vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to function normally. Commercial cat diets must meet minimum nutrition standards that include these vital ingredients.

Developed by 150 veterinarians, nutritionists and food scientists, Hill's Science Plan for cats is the smart choice for your cat. Tuna on its own is not nutritionally balanced. For example, tuna has too much unsaturated fat and is not supplemented with Vitamin E or other antioxidants. Therefore, tuna should not be fed as your cat's primary source of nutrition.According to the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO), adult cats need a minimum of 26% crude protein and 9% crude fat in their diets on a dry matter basis. Kittens have a higher minimum protein requirement at 30% but their needs for fat are the same. Keep in mind, however, that these are minimum requirements – your cat deserves more than the bare minimum, doesn’t he?
