Best Omega-6 Fatty Acids-Rich Foods for Cats

Ranked by omega-6 fatty acids content among foods safe for cats in the Creature Feast catalog.

#1
Chicken per 100g dark meat with skin: 3–5g omega-6 Chicken fat, especially from dark meat and skin, is one of the richest natural sources of omega-6 fatty acids (linoleic acid and arachidonic acid) for cats.
#2
Eggs per large egg: 1–1.5g omega-6 Egg yolks are rich in omega-6 fatty acids, including arachidonic acid that cats specifically need. Serve cooked.
#3
Turkey per 100g dark meat: 2–4g omega-6 Turkey dark meat provides omega-6 fatty acids comparable to chicken, with a slightly different fatty acid profile.
#4
Mealworms per 100g cooked: 1.5–3g omega-6 Lean ground beef contains moderate omega-6, primarily as linoleic acid. Grass-fed beef has a better omega-6:omega-3 ratio than grain-fed.
#5
Salmon per 100g cooked: 0.5–1.5g omega-6 Salmon provides modest omega-6 alongside abundant omega-3, giving it a favorable overall fatty acid ratio for cats.
#6
Cooked Egg Yolk per yolk: 0.8–1.2g omega-6 Cooked egg yolk on its own concentrates the omega-6 content, making it a convenient supplement for homemade diets.
