My cat loves tuna. Can I keep feeding her tuna, even kitten formula?

A small amount of this would be fine. (1 tablespoon or less per day--- the tuna in oil is relatively high in fat, and more than that would probably add up to too many calories. ) Thanks for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

If it's a complete and balanced cat food that contains tuna, that is fine to feed regularly. However, 100% tuna from a can (meant for human consumption) should only be given as a rare treat. You're welcome to post another question with the specific type of cat food in question, if you're unsure whether what you have is considered "complete and balanced."

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You can use canned tuna and chicken which are both great. Also, cooked fish, lean turkey and lean red meats which they tend to like a lot too. Good luck and have a great day!

Hi and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! No, meat by itself is really not good for cats to eat especially as an entire meal. Feeding meat by itself lacks a large amount of essential vitamins, minerals, and balance of nutrients that cats need (especially kittens) and require every day. I would stick to the cat food formulations instead and a tiny bit of meat can be given as a treat every so often.

Hi there and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Feeding a fish based commercial diet that is nutritionally complete is just fine as long as Cinderella is not allergic to the fish in the food you are giving. Cats that are fed raw fish frequently is more of the concern as they can develop serious nutritional deficits and vitamin deficiencies such as Thiamine deficiency which can be deadly. It is for this reason feeding raw fish primarily to cats is not recommended. However, feeding a small amount of tuna from a can occasionally as a treat is okay and will not cause a vitamin deficiency as long as they are also eating a commercially prepared food. No need to change the food Cinderella is enjoying now. From what you described, it sounds like she has tried a few foods that may have been giving her runny stools so if she is doing well on this particular food from Taste of the Wild, then I would keep her on that. I hope this helps!

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. You can feed your cat canned tuna, chicken, other meats (just cook them as you would for yourself), potatoes, carrots, pumpkin/squash. There are other foods as well. Avoid toxic foods (grapes, onions, garlic, raisins, chocolate) and very fatty foods, but just give a bit of your food. Spicy food should be avoided as well. Best of luck with your kitty!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Ideally it should only be fed as a treat and not a major part of her diet if it isn't complete. I would try another canned food from company: Purina Proplan, fancy feast, hill's science diet or royal canin. Have a good day!
