Through the can

Is the last sentence natural?
I was about to open a can of tuna when the cat came running into the kitchen. It's as if it could smell the tuna through the can.

Thanks

Sounds good to me. Made me chuckle.

VIcky, I suspect the writer meant his or her own cat. The cat. Not some random cat from the street. If he/she has more than one cat, then "one of my/the cats."

Oh okay, my mistake. I guess it was a bit out of context.
Thank you.
