Can cats eat...

[Crazy-Cat-Lover]

According to the information below, feeding cooked fish is safer. You can feed it raw, just not excessive amounts of it. The oils of the fish are great for your kitties coat. They contain omega 3 & 6 fatty acids.

Is feeding raw fish to cats safe?

Feeding excessive amounts of raw fish to cats may be detrimental because it contains thiaminase. Thiaminases are enzymes which break down Thiamin (Vitamin B1). However thiaminases are destroyed in the cooking process. As Burns is an extruded food this is not something that would harm the cat.

If oily fish is fed excessively then the cat may become deficient in Vitamin E. Vitamin E is used up when the oils begin to go rancid.

I give the Found Cats salmon and tuna from the tin and they love it.
I would be more creaful with say raw fish that you would get at a fish market, that I would cook to be on the safe side.
I have taken raw fish and cooked it and the Found Cats are indifferent but the Porchies love it.

You can give it fresh, but throughly wash it. Not too much, as I am sure you know.
I give mine the pink salmon and sardines out of the cans. They love it!

My brother-in-law offered Edwina and Eddie the head of some fish he was preparing once....

They turned both noses up! Fish heads indeed....

Canned tuna -- low sodium -- packed in water....and it had better not be house brand! Starkiss -- maybe....Chicken of the Sea preferred!
