Yes they can. Kittens can eat any kind of fish. However, tuna gives them very little nutrients as opposed to meat, so should only be given tuna as an occasional treat.

Kittens and cats are strict carnivores. They get all their nutritional needs from meat. Kittens in particular, need a lot of Protein and Fat in order to grow and develop in a healthy manner. The best cat foods are the ones with a very high meat content (labeled as Chicken, Turkey, Tuna, etc.) as the FIRST ingredient with no grains, wheat, or corn. Foods that are free of grains, corns, and wheat gluten are highly recommended as these are cheap "filler" that bulk up foods - but have no nutritional value for your kitten.

Yes, tinned tuna is perfectly fine to feed your cats as an occasional treat. However, tinned tuna should never be part of a cat's main diet as it is lacking in many vital nutrients the cat needs. Human grade tinned tuna is also high in phosphorous which could harm a cat, so it is best to give a small amount of tuna as an occasional treat.

Tuna yes, but I think they'll prefer to have it without the dressing! Please try to feed animals responsibly, but most cats are fussy eaters anyway, so I think you'll find out they will avoid what they don't like. ....... I have a cat who absolutely adores ranch dressing. I use it as a treat for her, maybe a few times a month. Make sure your cat's regular diet is mostly made of commercial cat food or cat food using specific recipes for felines.

You can buy tuna for cats once it is at least 3 to 4 weeks of age because for younger kittens it is more important to be taking liquids in to help them urinate. But feeding them plain tuna might not be the best idea.
