Feeding a Cat Tuna Pet Food?

Is tuna cat food safe for my cats to eat every day, even if it is not the main ingredient in the canned cat food?

If it is a manufactured as a ingredient in a regular can of cat food it is fine, they add taurine and other needed nutrients. If it is cans of tuna not of a pet food variety it is not such a good idea for 2 reasons: #1 cats need taurine for eye health and #2 it depletes vitamin E from their body. Cats can have vitamin E tablets pierced and the liquid goes into their food if you feed a lot of tuna, but you still need the taurine supplement, not sure where you get that. I would just give tuna as a occasional treat.

No, is not good to feed human grade tuna real often, cats need taurine for eye health, and also tuna fed often depletes vitamin E out of their body. As a treat once in awhile is ok. If it is tuna as a manufactured pet food it is fine.
