Canned jack mackerel OK for cats ?
 

I can get it locally for only US$1.00 per 15 ounce (425g) can. It has a
light tomtato gravy, but no vegetable oil. Like canned salmon, it includes
bones that are somehow softened by the heating-canning process. Contains
lots of protein, calcium, and fish oil. Comes from Chile.

Just wondering about its magnesium content. Keep in mind that a jack
mackerel is only a 11" (28cm) fish that doesn't live for anywhere near as
long as a tuna.

This is a cooked human food? I would only give it to a cat as an occasional
treat, not as his regular diet. Cats have very specific nutritional needs very
different from our own.

I get it for as little as $ .75 (dollar stores and such). I've never offered
it to my cats but my dogs get it as a change on their diet once every 2 weeks
or so. The dogs love it. The cats haven't shown any interest in the dog's
bowls when it's served. Maybe they just know they're supposed to eat their own
food, but it may be that it doesn't appeal to them as well!
