I have fed cat food to my Colombian tegu before in a pinch, but I wouldn't recommend it as part of a staple diet.
The cat food I used was made by a company called Blue Buffalo. I chose them because they use whole foods and include foods high in antioxidants. The ingredient list includes a meat, cranberries, sweet potatoes, blueberries, etc. There are very few additives as the food was originally designed for pets with cancer or to prevent cancer. It's about $1.10 for a little can and I'm not sure about the availability in Brazil.
The problem with other cat foods (and dog foods) like Whiskas, Friskies, and other grocery store type brands is that they use by-products, have fillers such as rice/wheat/corn, use a lot of chemical additives, and cat foods are usually high in phosphorous.
