Cat Forum / General Topics / April 2004tuna freak
I made a tuna fish sandwich yesterday. From the moment I opened the can my kitty was doing the usual rub rub purr purr meow meow bit that cats do. Before I added mayo and spices I mixed in a chopped hardboiled egg and set aside a portion for kitty. She went absolutely wild! She just sat there for 5 minutes and devoured the whole thing. For all the cats I've had in my life, every single one's favorite treat has always been tuna fish. > I made a tuna fish sandwich yesterday.

Mine are ambivalent on the actual fish, but go nuts for the juice it's packed in. pat >> I made a tuna fish sandwich yesterday.

Ours go crazy to so I just give em some of the tuna and a little bit of the juice it's packed in without the mayo and all the extra's.. They seem to like that.

They totally LOVE the water from water packed tuna. We call it their "tuna chowder", and it's automatically theirs. I remember reading that tuna should not be given to cats frequently. Does anyone on the ng know anything about that? It may have been just because it's missing the other nutrients contained in a complete cat food, but it almost seems like there was something else as well...  SignatureDiana Portal To My Pages http://bellsouthpwp.net/d/r/drdrive/ I was aboutto sayI'd heard that you shouldn't feed cats *human* tuna or salmon or silverside but I guess a little doesn't hurt as long as its not too often Henri enjoyed a bit of the human food now and again Jean.P. > rpl at plinnane3NO@SPAMyahoo.com wrote on3/16/04 12:19 AM: > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > Portal To My Pages > http://bellsouthpwp.net/d/r/drdrive/ My Cat was also very fond of Tuna (went mad when ever a tin was opened). As for is it safe to feed cats human food I would not feed my cat something I would not eat myself Its not a matter of being safe so much the vet told me that human food does not have the nutrients in that cats need, also that some foods have too much salt in for cats and can affect their kidney's.

Jean.P. Isn't it odd that human food doesn't have the nutrients that a cat needs, but a cat has all the nutrients that a human needs?

Can you give a cite for that or are you just basing your opinion on the fact that in poorer corners of the world, people eat feral cats, much the same as you or I would chow down on a rat or a gopher if hungry enough. pat yeah I know you're trolling, but I'm bored I made a tuna fish sandwich yesterday.

No, I set aside the kitty's portion before adding spices. I like my tuna salad SPICY! Tuna, hardboiled egg, mayo, a teaspoon or two of lemon juice, hot sauce, lots of chile powder, and salt. I know kitty would not like hot sauce or chile powder so she gets hers plain (with just a sprinkle of salt). Note, if you want to try chile powder in your tuna make sure it is PURE chile and not the usual tex-mex crap with cumin/comino added. For some reason it can be hard to find unadulterated chile powder, especially outside the Mexican border region. Most chile powder of this type is mild. If you are worried, use paprika as it is very similar in flavor.
