Tuna is choice food, because it is entirely meat, and extremely

a
supposition that cats do anything but tolerate carbohydrates, some
cats more than others.


Tuna is not a natural part of a cat's diet. It should be a treat,
not fed daily.

For one of my cats, the recipe at the top of this thread is the only
thing I know that does not cause diarrhea. I can't omit Wasabi,
either. I do not know about Paprika, because I've never run out of
that. It goes with eggs, anyway.

My other cat seems to be able to eat just about anything; kibble,
canned turkey and cheeze, tuna keesh, popcorn, mayonaise, butter --
and she haz never had diarrhea. She does occasionally barf, though I
think that haz more to do with hairballs than anything else, now that
she is over three years old.

Cats do not really hav names. The only thing in the world that knows
the name of a cat is an electric can opener or a warm lap.

In Japan, they sometimes get over $100,000 for just one tuna fish. -
I am amazed at the price in the local super. I pay 50 cents for a
5-1/2 oz. can. Of course, they ruin it by cooking it...:^)

My owner in topic absolutely devours raw tuna. If it did not seem to
be part of the only way to avoid diarrhea in that cat, I would not
cook Tuna with eggs. I know that cooking degrades some oils in fish.
So, when I eat fish myself, it is canned and not cooked.

Thats 100,000 yen. That would be a live large one (several hundred lbs) and
to translate to dollars, remove the first 2 zeros for a rough estimate.

Cut down, you have over 100 lbs of sashimi or '10$ a lb'.

There's 'tuna' and there's 'tuna'. Several types of fish are called that.
The type in cans isn't the expensive version.

Grin, hate to tell you but all canned fish is cooked. It's part of the
canning process. It's not only for presevation but to kill any possible
marine parasites.

I love sushi, and the best is made with sashimi, or raw fish. but I know
that every time I eat it, I am taking a chance on picking up some kind of
aquatic worm, so My cats and I don't indulge much anymore.....

Yes. Nowadays, the closest I usually come to raw fish is lox, which is
heavily smolked, and hardly "raw". One of my cats loves it too, but it is
very salty, and I don't think it is good for her. I used to eat a canned
sardine that was packed in Jalapeno's. One of my cats loved it, even though
it was so hot I could barely stand it. I finally decided that she couldn't
taste the heat, probably because cats don't eat vegatable matter, so after
millions of years, their tongues have probably lost their ability to taste
red pepper acid. Anyway, she and I would really enjoy those canned
treats......

That's why you must have sake with sushi, to kill the worms. :)

I can do that, but I don't think I can get my cats to do it.....

Actually, Bill, it is the other way around. Peppers have evolved their "hot"
substance to be specific against mammal plant-eaters. Because peppers are meant
to be eaten by birds, the substance is selectively hot against mammals, while
the birds don't feel it and eat peppers to spread the seeds. While mammals
(especially rodents) destroy the seeds with their teeth while eating them, and
the peppers don't want that!

Its amazing to me that the pepper seeds manage to make it through the
digestive process without harm... Ain't evolution grand?

I picked up Stevie as a stray about six months ago. She had a
persistent case of diarrhea until about two weeks ago, when I started
cooking for both of my owners...can't keep Stevie out of Skittles'
food, so they both get cooking.

Stevie is a voracious eater of raw tuna--still goes bonkers, running
and jumping all over the place when I open a can. Unfortunately, raw
tuna brings diarrhea back. Now that Skittles has accepted the smell of
Salmon (perhaps due to Stevie's enthusiasm), I could serve that raw.
Of course, Salmon, in its nearly pure human-targeted form is a lot
more expensive, so it will likely be a special treat when I feel like
eating some.

My owners won't touch raw or canned hamburger, and they love a grilled
pattie. I haven't fed my owners enough of it to know if beef is an
option. _______

I certainly haven't tried everything but my cat has diarrhea from
everything I tried except two flavors of Fancy Feast 'Trout Feast' and
'Chicken Feast in Gravy'. Both are very scarce locally. However, I found
that she can eat Wellness plain chicken canned food with no problem,
right from the first meal. She's grown tired of it but will still eat it
if nothing else is available. I've not tried other flavors because the
store that carries Wellness only orders by the case - none for sale from
stock. Wellness does not provide samples of canned food. I tried one meal
with a sample of the Wellness dry 'Indoor Health' food but it caused
diarrhea. Unfortunately the only store here that carries Wellness has
terrible service. I'm about to run out again after two two-case orders
were not filled. Ordering on-line has very expensive shipping.

Unfotunately this canned Wellness evidently has no fiber so I have to add
Benefiber to one meal and canned pumkin to another to reduce the number
of hairballs. A PITA!
