Cats can eat tuna, but should only ever eat very small amounts occasionally. Tuna alone does not have all the nutrients cats need, and human-grade tuna can be high in phosphorous and other metals that could harm a cat if fed regularly. Tuna and other fish should only ever be fed as a treat and not part of their daily diet.

It is extremely dangerous to feed a cat exclusively with canned tuna, let alone any other type of fish. Cats have special dietary needs that demand high protein intake, as well as several amino acids and other nutrients that only a balanced, fortified diet can supply. There are many natural and healthy pet foods and supplements commercially available that can meet these crucial dietary needs.

Does anyone know is Mio9 cat food from Taiwan safe and healthy?

In order to sell pet food in the United States, a company must be transparent and honest about the ingredients in the food. Mio9 Cat Food is sold at several U.S. retailers, so the food is deemed safe for your cat. The main ingredient is meat, which is healthy for cats, but only a small part of a cat's balanced diet. To be sure if the food is healthy for your cat's diet, ask your veterinarian.
