I've created pests. I feed my cats real chicken and tuna and now I get attacked

2 hours later: basically as soon as there is room in their stomachs for more. Twilight was wailing. Captain Hughey was clawing at my sweater. He's watching my every move. I was thinking I would have two very contented sleepy kitties. Instead I have two crack addicted felines. Help! LOL!

1. It's too late. Once they've tasted tuna there's no going back. n/t

[applegrove]

3. Yes. They had chicken for two days. Now they've had two tuna meals.

It is not pretty.

2. You're doomed.

A little taste of tuna makes them want more, and more, and more.

4. At least it is made for cats. Not like the human tuna I used to

give them after I had rinsed it to get the salt out. They used to get that 4 times a year. Now it is an everyday thing and there will be trouble when I go back to chicken I know.

5. I think if you just quietly and reasonably explained the situation to them they would be happy to

lower their expectations.

6. I told my 8 year old he passed cat probation and could stay

in the home. I got nothing back.

[Ocelot II]

7. You've got it backwards. By offering tuna you have passed human probation

and therefore the cats will allow you to stay in their house and keep feeding them.

[applegrove]

8. Oh of course!

[EYESORE 9001]

9. Am I wrong in being concerned about an all-tuna diet for cats?

The mercury content is a concern when humans consume it fairly often. Not trying to be a killjoy, just expressing concern for the cats' well-being.

10. All tuna would not be a good diet.

Cats actually need a bunch of different meat proteins, however you feed them.

12. Yes I got a variety of cat food. Fish and meat. They had no beef.

But I will be aware and keep getting a variety. Thank you.

11. I got some chicken and salmon and trout too. I will rotate them. Thanks.
