can cats have fish flavored food?

I read on websites that cats shouldnt have fish flavored food (normal cat food cans that are fish flavrored) after someone at a holistic pet store told me that. She said it causes bladder infections and other health problems. Is this true? because my cat honestly just doesnt like chicken flavor.

Hi there…generally fish flavoured food made specifically for cats would be considered fine for cats. However, cats who are prone to urinary tract disorders should avoid any fish products as it is high in phosphorous and raises the urine pH to more alkaline than acidic which is necessary in order to maintain a healthy urinary tract. Much like cranberry juice works for humans.

Tuna especially should be avoided completely as it causes a disease known as steatis (fatty liver disease). The human variety of tuna fish contains an enzyme that destroys vitamin B1 (thiamine). Cats who regularly eat tuna can develop a vitamin B1 deficiency, which results in neurological symptoms like dilated eyes, loss of equilibrium, seizures and death if this vitamin is not replaced. The scientific name of this disease is polioencephlomalacia.

Although it is high in protein, tuna lacks sufficient amounts of certain amino acids, mainly taurine, to maintain feline health. There is insufficient calcium to balance the phosphorus; the ratio in canned tuna is 1-to-14.8. This results in bone disease.
