Question 1

Specifically, how are you giving the bonito flakes or sprinkles to your cats? How much to sprinkle on food? Are the flakes put in a pile on a plate?

Accepted Answer

I do several things. Sometimes I just give them a flake as a treat but mostly I crunch them up sometimes to small flakes or almost a powder and sprinkle it on topic their food. They like just a little on top of food

Question 2

Is bonito flakes the only ingredient, or does it have salt as well?

Accepted Answer

I contacted the company about if there was added Taurine and Sodium. This is what they wrote:
Taurine comes naturally in the Bonito Flakes.  According to our testing
results there is 55mg of Sodium per ounce.  We do not add any Sodium, it is what occurs naturally in the fish."
I actually bought then looked at the Sodium content of the Sodium in the humane grade Bonita Flakes that you can also buy on Amazon, there's is 15mg per ounce. These flakes come in a red bag with Chinese lettering and are sold at half the price of these flakes. But, my cats prefer these Cat-Man-Doo flakes! So I buy a bag of each and mix it, they eat it all that way. Hope this helped.

Question 3

Have any of you ever mixed the flakes into wet food, to entice a low-appetite cat to eat? Does mixing work better/worse than sprinkling on top?

Accepted Answer

I mix it in with one of my cat's wet food when she's being finicky (usually when she has a hairball), and it does entice her to finish eating.  Otherwise, she tends to graze, but doesn't like it once the wet food has been sitting out for a while (plus, her sister is a piggy and will finish off the food before the finicky one can get a chance to come back to it).  So occasionally I put fish flakes into her wet food (mix it in), and she devours all of it.

Question 4

Are the fish in this product wild caught or farmed?

Accepted Answer

I really don’t know. All I know is that my cat loves it.
