Tuna No!

Tuna and Cats

Cats who eat too much tuna can become addicted, which can actually cause a Vitamin E deficiency. 

If you include tuna in your cat's diet, do it in a controlled way.

Tuna has a strong taste and smell so many cats can become addicted to it. As a treat now and then it is harmless but a steady diet can lead to malnutrition. Without enough vitamin E cats may develop a condition called steatitus (also known as yellow fat disease).

Eating tuna regularly can become a big problem if your cat refuses to eat anything else.

Tuna may also be a source of heavy metal poisoning, especially mercury, if eaten as a steady diet.

If trouble finds your cat the way it does me, the lure tuna can lead your cat off to places he wouldn't normally go.

I share my tuna trail story in Monday, Monday in Tails from the Park.
