Lst two weeks they were hit with flu, didnt want to eat. so i pujuk them with boiled fish. now they are already better, they dun wantr any more kibble. i think should be okay rite, as long as i boil the fish?
fish is a very low fat food. so i do not like feeding fish source of food as daily food. fish alone is not a natural diet for cats.
Fish-based foods can cause EGC allergic in cat, as they can aggravate allergies.
Some fish oil is good for cat, but remember, Cats can not process all the oil in fish and if given too much can loose
their hair.
I think there is concern with increased levels of mercury and selenium if fish comprises a major part of the cat's diet. There is nothing wrong with some use of fish, but it is better to vary the diet with chicken, turkey, lamb, etc.
you can feed them fish but not as daily food. like maybe sometimes online.. which means, like feeding fish just for treat.
for example TUNA. Tuna has omega fatty acids far to high for them will clog thier livers and cause kidney issues. Tuna can have levels of mercury that might be harmful if fed too often to small animals like cats.
