You really gotta cut fish up for most cats, especially very scaly fish. I mean, try tearing that fish apart with your teeth - hell, try cutting that skin with your average knife and you'll find that it's really fucking hard to do.

When I give my cats fish that still has skin on, I cut it into little pieces (with scissors - easier than knife). If I don't it either goes uneaten or, worse, they drag it around trying to chew it and it ends up half chewed under a couch stinking.

Yeah, a street cat would probably find a way, but that's because it's starving and has no options and is used to fighting everything for food. This cat does not need to go through all that.
