We all know that cats are finicky eaters. I can't count how many times I have opened a can of cat food just to have Nemo sniff it and walk away. I have tried different brands and flavors to entice him to eat.
I was reading an article today about a healthy, nutritious snack that cats can't resist, even sick cats will eat it. In the article a woman had a cat going through chemo for cancer and she couldn't get it to eat anything until she found out about this treat.
The treat is called Bonito Flakes. It is a fish that swims in the Western Pacific Ocean. It is a schooling fish that is from the tuna family. Since it is a bony fish, it is rarely eaten for it's meat. Instead, the dark, oily fish is carefully dried and shaved into very thin, fine, and intensely flavored flakes. Some Asian countries use the flakes to make a savory broth, while cats love the flakes just right out of an airtight container.
Bonito Flakes are all natural, with no preservatives and no by products. The natural fish oil in the Bonito Flakes help promote good digestion and a healthy coat and is high in protein. They are large flakes and do not need refrigeration.
I am for sure going to order some for my cat, Nemo. Just check the web for Bonito flakes, if you are interested in purchasing for your cat. One company I found was Cat Man Doo, but there are many more places that sell it.
I hope this has been informative, if you have a finicky cat.
