Here is just one website but there are many. Here is the site: http://www.gorbzilla.com/all_about_tuna.htm

However, saying it's "not to be fed to cats" might be a little hyperbole. In the article you link: "So is feeding canned tuna bad, and feeding commercial cat food better? NO, and NO –the key is moderation in feeding fish, period, regardless of the source." From the ASPCA: "An occasional tuna treat for your cat is generally harmless, however, if a large part of the cat's diet consists of tuna--or if the cat is fed tuna exclusively--some problems are likely to arise." So it's all about moderation. :) There's nothing wrong with giving your cat tuna as an occasional treat, but you're right that folks should in no way rely on tuna as a staple of their cat's diet. Thanks!
