Can Cats Eat Tuna?
🟢 Yes, in small amounts
A little, as a treat. Cats love tuna, but tuna made for people is not a balanced diet, and a cat fed mostly on it can miss essential nutrients.
How to give tuna safely
- A small amount of tuna canned in water, unsalted, as an occasional treat.
- Not tuna in oil or brine.
- Cat food containing tuna is fine — it is formulated to be complete.
If your cat ate too much
An occasional helping needs no action.
