Canned jack mackerel OK for cats ?
I can get it locally for only US$1.00 per 15 ounce (425g) can. It has a
light tomtato gravy, but no vegetable oil. Like canned salmon, it includes bones that are somehow softened by the heating-canning process. Contains lots of protein, calcium, and fish oil. Comes from Chile. Just wondering about its magnesium content. Keep in mind that a jack mackerel is only a 11" (28cm) fish that doesn't live for anywhere near as long as a tuna. |

I would only give it to a cat as an occasional treat, not as his regular diet. Cats have very specific nutritional needs very different from our own.

I can get it locally for only US$1.00 per 15 ounce (425g) can. I get it for as little as $ .75 (dollar stores and such). I've never offered it to my cats but my dogs get it as a change on their diet once every 2 weeks or so. The dogs love it. The cats haven't shown any interest in the dog's bowls when it's served. Maybe they just know they're supposed to eat their own food, but it may be that it doesn't appeal to them as well!
