How often can cats eat tuna cat food? Is it something that should be fed once in a while not at all or is it ok to feed them it regularly?

If it's a complete and balanced cat food that contains tuna, that is fine to feed regularly. However, 100% tuna from a can (meant for human consumption) should only be given as a rare treat. You're welcome to post another question with the specific type of cat food in question, if you're unsure whether what you have is considered "complete and balanced."
