Can cats eat tuna as a cat treat?
Be careful read the fine print
The problem compound: mercury + incomplete nutrition. For: cats.
The addiction is real: cats learn to demand tuna and hold out for it. Keep it rare enough that real food stays interesting.
Symptoms to watch
none acute; diet-deficiency issues if tuna becomes the diet
What this looks like when it goes wrong — most exposures stay mild.
