Is it safe to give canned salmon for humans to my persian kitten? (Instead of his morning meal of meat/fish) He is on royal canin dry food as well.

I would be very cautious about feeding any food in addition to kitten dry food as this upsets the nutritional balance of the diet and can lead to excess protein and lowered mineral intake and can affect growth and development. A teaspoonful a couple of days a week as a treat should be ok but I would not feed daily
