While the ancestor and relatives of the domesticated cat junted and killed live prey and ate it raw, they also died from disease and intestinal parasites. Cat food exists for a reason. Also, cats need some essential amino acids and nutrients they cannot get from a normal diet. You need to feed a fortified diet with taurine and cytocine. These are included in normal commercial foods. Using kitty tuna as a treat, or even real human grade tuna is fine as a treat. but it should not make up the main diet. Other foods are ill advised. Some may harm the cat or lead to digestive distress, smelly stools and obesity. Look for a commercial food without any by-products and one that uses meats instead of grains as the main ingriedients. Cats should have access to crunchy foods for their dental health. Dental disease is a leading cause of kidney failure and heart diseas in cats. While a cleaning every few years helps remove tartar, feeding a crunchy diet does even more. Owner of three happy cats and a veterinary nurse. Cats don’t need all that fancy food.

It's just better to not feed them "people food," insted feed them kitty canned tuna, I know they sell some sort of tuna mush for cats, plus it will ultimately be cheaper.

I suggest going to your veterinarian and getting a list of foods that are toxic to them. They have a very comprehensive list available. You could also get one from googling it.
