The main aim of this study was to determine the levels of Al, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn in commercial canned and pouched cat foods (salmon, tuna, liver, fish, and other aquatic products) and assess the potential health risks to kitten (≤ 1 years old) and adult cats (≥ 1 years old) associated with the recommended average consumption rate of labels. The study was also aimed to adapt the health risk assessment method to animal health and to support clinical prevention and diagnosis. The detected levels of the metals were below the data from other studies, except the mean Fe in all and Pb levels in salmon and kitten foods. Target hazard quotient (THQ) and total target hazard quotient (TTHQ) values did not exceed 1. That means the studied metals do not pose a health risk for adult cats and kittens. Dietary Hg and Cd should also be considered in the differential diagnosis of cases with clinical or postmortem findings, especially regarding neurological, kidney, and liver tissues. In conclusion, although canned/pouched consumption does not pose a health risk with regard to metals, further studies of health risk assessment for other pollutants by this first adaptation method will be necessary.

小猫和成年猫罐头/袋装食品中基本和有毒金属的健康风险评估：动物健康风险评估适应试验。

本研究的主要目的是确定商业罐装和袋装猫粮（鲑鱼、金枪鱼、肝脏、鱼和其他水产品）并评估与建议的标签平均消费率相关的小猫（≤1岁）和成年猫（≥1岁）的潜在健康风险。该研究还旨在使健康风险评估方法适应动物健康，并支持临床预防和诊断。检测到的金属水平低于其他研究的数据，除了所有的平均铁和鲑鱼和小猫食物中的铅水平。目标危险商 (THQ) 和总目标危险商 (TTHQ) 值不超过 1。这意味着所研究的金属不会对成年猫和小猫构成健康风险。在对有临床或死后发现的病例进行鉴别诊断时，也应考虑饮食中的汞和镉，尤其是神经、肾脏和肝脏组织。总之，虽然罐装/袋装消费不会对金属造成健康风险，但有必要通过第一种适应方法对其他污染物的健康风险评估进行进一步研究。
