Genetically speaking, your cat’s DNA is still fairly similar to that of his wild ancestors – at least in terms of his nutritional requirements. Wild cats feed primarily on birds and small mammals, though big cats are capable of taking down larger animals. Fish simply isn’t a significant component of a wild cat’s diet, and you may want to think about whether it’s a worthy inclusion in your own cat’s diet.

In addition, you should look for canned tunas that are MSC certified, caught using the poll and line method, and/or that are FAD-free. Making the canned tuna choice based on the size, what it's sitting in, and other additional ingredients really depends on personal preferences.Canola oil is the only source of added fat, though the fresh tuna likely provides a decent amount of omega-3 fatty acids. Western Pacific blue-eye tuna and Indian Ocean yellowfin tuna may be particularly vulnerable to overfishing ( 25).
