You can get two meals of tuna from a can of tuna, but that same can of
tuna can provide several dozen meals of cat.

I do recall reading a while back that tuna is deficient in some vitamin - E,
I think - that is essential to the wellbeing of cats. The occasional meal
would be OK, though.

Daughter fills the at-will auto-feeders (big plastic bottles up-ended into
dish-like things) with Kirkland cat food, which the dog eats too. Her oldest
cat lived to be 18, so it's gotta be doing something right. I was amazed that
the dachshund nibbles every once in a while just like the cats -- I had thought
that dogs gobbled every bit of available food.

The dog is a near vegetarian, although she likes cooked meat too. Had we not
shared our food with her (and she doesn't grab, she nibbles politely) she might
have believed that the food-god always made sure there was enough.
