Because it is high in protein. Cats evolved to eat mostly meat (i.e. a high protein food).

Tuna is not good for cats. Yes, cats eat meat a lot, and it is their main food, but tuna is not good for cats, because there is some ingredient - sorry, I can't remember what, I haven't seen a tuna can in a year - but it can make a cat have urinary tract infections.
I know it may sound weird, but don't take chances. My female cat, Callie had it because we fed my two cats tuna every day.
Urinary tract infections cause pain, urinating all over the house (that is because they think the litterbox is doing it) no one ever said that cats were smart, but it'll also cause not drinking.
You might have to put your kitty on a special food if he/she gets a urinary tract infection. Let's hope to God he/she doesn't!

Could you give a cat lemon juice on tuna?
Cats like tuna and it is nutritious. But there are valid reasons why cats should only be fed canned tuna in moderation.1) Pure tuna does not contain all of the nutrients that cats need, and they could develop deficiencies if a varied diet is not provided. If you are providing all of your cat's food, it is less likely to seek out foods that provide a balanced diet.2) Cats fed a rich diet of fish can lose their taste for other foods.3) Some cats can develop a condition called steatitisfrom fatty foods. Tuna, especially packed in oil, may deplete a cat's vitamin E.4) Tuna has slightly elevated levels of mercury, which can accumulate over time.
