That's not the real reason, although that may happen also,
but a diet high in tuna can result in a vitamin E deficiency
and lead to steatitis, not to mention not getting a balanced
diet. This, of course, refers to human tuna (fresh or canned)
and not to tuna cat food to which the appropriate vitamins,
etc., have been added.

The occasional treat won't hurt at all, only a steady
diet of the stuff.
