I don’t wanna be a party pooper but i’ve heard tuna can be harmful to cats and raw fish. :/

He’s had it m Before with no ill effects, only once a year now. He enjoys it so how bad could it be really? Some things are worth it lol

Well he could get food poisoning :( but if it’s been fine I guess it’s not a big deal. I’ve just always heard to never give cats raw fish.

Here’s a quote I found:

“Cats should never eat raw fish. In addition to the very real possibility of getting food poisoning from E. coli or salmonella, raw fish poses a particular threat to felines because it contains the enzyme thiaminase. This enzyme destroys thiamine, an essential B vitamin in cats. Dr. Sally Perea, DVM, explains that “thiamine deficiency can cause neurological problems—and even lead to convulsions” and coma.”
