No Tuna

Question
I have been reading some of the questions and answers at this site.  One told the owner not to feed a cat with an eye infection tuna.  Why?  Is tuna a problem for cats in general?  What if they would eat much else?

Answer
HI Janet,

many people out there claim to be cat experts. ANYONE can call themselves a cat behaviorist/specialist. BUT believe it or not, if a vet is not boarded in behavior, he cannot call himself a behaviorist.

So what am I saysing?  I'm saying that person you saw list the tuna with the eye infection is full of BS. :)

There is a theory of cats with hyperthyroidism and not feeding tuna- but that just a floating theory.

Tuna is small quantities is OK.
