Tuna are deep sea creatures. There is, however, a good chance that at one point many washed ashore dead, allowing the cats to develop a taste for them.
Did you mean “open ocean creatures”? While tuna can dive 500-1000 meters, and while technically “deep sea” refers to >200 meters, I generally consider “deep sea creatures” to be those that live primarily/exclusively in environments with no light and high pressure, like on the sea floor (~3500m) or in trenches (down to ~11,000m).
But I could be wrong! Maybe a marine biologist or oceanographer can clarify? (Lemmy needs a Unidan, minus the ego and voting fraud.)
Either way, zero overlap with any feline habitats.
Outer sea yes, on shores, debatable. Some felines are known to go for a dip now and again. Are tuna known for coming close to land?
Have you seen how big is a tuna? I think. A tuna has a better chan6ge of eating a cat if it gets too close
But a wild cat wouldn’t attack a full grown tuna. As any predator in the wild they would go for the baby tuna.

Tuna are giant fish that live far off shore. Cats are known to fish but they won’t land a tuna any more than a dolphin.
