People tuna fish ok???

[carlie1784]

Cutter is doing great. He is still very stubborn about eating any canned wet cat foods. Tried lots of suggested foods and tricks from sight with very little luck.I gave him some people tuna fish which I mix with chia gel for added hydration and he luvs it.Cutter used to be a 20 pound cat now he is down to pretty close to normal cat weight 13.2 and holding right around there. What is worrying me now is if it is ok for him to be on a tuna diet. He does eat a new Fancy Feast It is called 'mornings' and it contains souffle w/white meat chicken garden veggies and egg.however I do not think this meets the high protien low carb that this sight suggests. But I think that mixing the two will kind of balance it all out as tuna has 0 carbs.
I did try searching for this answer in prev posts but could not find an answer to the original ? Is canned people tuna ok for cats to eat regularly.
Once again I thank all who contribute ,you are wonderful people doing wonderful things for people and the pets they luv.

Make sure the tuna is in water only.

No soybean oil (phytoestrogens) and no vegetable broth (possible onions).

Human tuna is not a complete diet for cats (and humans too), For cats it lacks taurine and other necessary nutrients. For short use it would be OK.

You might try Trader Joe's Tuna for Cats, which is formulated for cats.

You might want to set aside the high carb Fancy Feast "Mornings" style canned food for your hypo kit.

Have you tried crumbling Halo LIv-a-Little freeze dried chicken treats on top of the wet food? That is one way I got Wink to switch from the dry food to the wet food.

Also, you need to use the cats' natural hunger drive to help make the switch. If you free feed and the cat is always full, he'll never try anything -new. I stopped free feeding Wink like they were doing at the cat shelter. I also left Wink and his canned food alone in a separate room for 45-60 minutes.
