Following on the advice of OUlioness, NEVER let your cat have people food. My cat is almost 11 years old now. I left her at home with my parents when I was in college, and my dad let her eat his scraps.
She had been fed Iams at my parents', but I couldn't afford $13/bag to feed her. Anyway, my dad had tried to adjust her diet to something we could manage. I noticed she had stopped eating, and she was hiding under tables. So, off to the vet we went.
After $300+ in vet bills and a week in the animal hospital, the vet said she had developed liver disease. She had never seen a cat so sick survive. The change in diet was involved, but the major culprit was table scraps.
Also, if you give your kitty tuna (which was my kitty's diet at the hospital), expect him to think anything in a can is tuna.
