Our two cats get a taste, and I mean a taste. They get to lick a wee bit of whatever--cream cheese, butter, applesauce, salad dressing--off the tip of my finger. Cindy gets a piece of my string cheese about the size of a BB. And she gets a little bite of scrambled egg. They probably get between and teaspoon and a tablespoon of people food per week.

Cooper (the loaner) isn't big on people food (and he's lactose intolerant) but I've been treating him with a tiny bit of tuna as he reward for being stuck downstairs in his room all day.

I've been getting conflicting information on feeding a cat tuna (albacore in water) from NEVER NEVER, to infrequently, to a little bit a day won't hurt. Even the vets don't agree. What have you heard? I'll cease and desist if it's going to hurt him, but it's the only thing he really considers a treat.
