That should say 170g Tuna (not mL). I think most tuna for cats is
organ meat, which is cheaper than white, because Iron won't hurt
them.
I hope no one took brewhaha's post seriously.
Tuna is not recommended for cats, especially cats with many
illnesses.

Speak for yourself: You do not recommend Tuna for cats, especially
cats with many illnesses.

Tuna is choice food, because it is entirely meat, and extremely
popular with three of the cats I had or hav. I see no evidence for a
supposition that cats do anything but tolerate carbohydrates, some
cats more than others.


I was in Safeway a couple of years ago, and they had cans of tuna on
sale for 40 cents a can. Since the cat food was 50 cents a can,
(same size can) I decided to buy a dozen cans or so for my cats. -
Big mistake! When I got home and opened one of these cans, it looked
horrible.....Worse than cat food. My cats wouldn't touch it. I ended
up throwing it all away....


Skittles was like that at first, even with Salmon; didn't like the
smell, and Stevie's enthusiasm for Tuna and Salmon eventually caused
Skittles to try it. Perhaps there was one time Skittles was
particularly hungry at dinner-time, too. Skittles will eat either
one, now, although she is partial to her old Turkey and Cheese,
despite the moronic Wheat Gluten and Corn it contains. I wish Stevie
knew her own stomach regarding diarrhea. If I could trust Stevie not
to get into it, then I could feed Turkey and Cheese to Skittles. Cats
are lejendary for being finicky; unwilling to try anything different,
which is probably in their own interests, because many cats will get
diarrhea from chaynjez in their food.


Well, we have a former feral cat that eats anything we throw at him. Almost
like a dog, the first time it touches him when you throw it in the air is
when it hits the bottom of his stomach. (Not actually, but he does love
people food.) The others are, however a lot more finicky
