So I'm a total pet-drug-pusher. I had a cat who seriously jonesed for breve (half-and-half) so I gave her a milliliter a day. My dog today needs peanut-butter like it's the ambrosia of the gods. It's a small treat every once in a while.
Out of respect for your friends of fur, allowing them a small dose might enhance their enjoyment of life a bit, especially since we are social beings who enjoy sharing a meal with each other. And unlike half-and-half, cats can actually digest tuna.
My cats are dum though. I'll crack open a can of tomatoes and they freak out thinking it's dinner time. I let them sniff it, but then they look confused.
Same when I'm getting some Tums. They think it sounds like greenies.
Can relate. All my cats think my pill bottles are the same as the treat shaker. I always end up giving them a treat afterwards because I feel bad.
Oh, man. The amount of times I'd exasperatedly repeat to my cat "it's beans!" or someone similar and let them smell the can I'm opening. I know you know this doesn't smell like tuna, you fuzzy idiot...
