My cats love tuna, as do most. BUT.. mercury is a factor as we all know.
Safe Catch which I used to buy is supposed to be the lowest in mercury and it also has a salt free variety.
However, it is SO expensive.

I bought some of the Chicken of the Sea light which should be low in mercury, they LOVE it,BUT the salt is unbelievable!
QUESTIONs: How dangerous is salt in a cat's diet? What canned tuna do allow your cat to have?
This is a paragraph from the article (see link)
While Safe Catch did have relatively low levels of mercury, we found that most of the other light or skipjack tunas were also low, and the differences in average mercury levels between the Safe Catch cans we tested and those from most other brands were very small. Similarly, the mercury levels in Safe Catch’s albacore tuna was close to most of the albacore samples from other brands we tested and one brand, Bumble Bee, actually had lower levels. Safe Catch’s Wild Albacore tuna costs up to about $5 a can and its Wild Elite light tuna up to about $3.50, compared to less than $2 for light tuna and less than $3 for albacore from Bumble Bee, Chicken of the Sea, and StarKist. (Wild Planet’s skipjack and albacore costs up to about $3.50 and $5.60, respectively.)
