The Six Best things about Cat-Man- Do

From an urban dictionary definition to a looney party to cat treats...and a smile for the day

CatManDo according to the "urban dictionary" refers to something that only a cat can do. For example, when a person attempts to do the same thing, such falling on their back and landing on their feet the outcome is a "catmando"...and, too bad he broke both his legs on that fall!" The most famous "catmando or catmandu" hails from the United Kingdom. Catmando a ginger colored tabby served as joint leader of Britain's Official Monster Raving Loony Party (OMRLP) from 1995-2002 along with his owner, Howling Laud Hope. He was the only cat ever to have led a political party, I am sure Henri le Chat Noir would be proud of him. My guess is that Catmando would go "loony" over the Dried Bonito Flakes offered by Cat-Man-Doo and easily available at www.chewy.com.

When I saw the brand of Cat-Man-Doo and particularly the Extra Large Dried Bonito Flakes, offered at 20% off by www.chewy.com I just had to try them. Bonito is a fish whose home is in the waters of the Western Pacific Ocean. It is a schooling fish that is part of the "tuna" family. Unlike a tuna, a bonito is a bony fish that is rarely eaten for its meat; rather this dark oily fish is dried and shaved into very fine, intensely flavored flakes; the Japanese use these flakes in a savory broth. As for cats, well, my cats beg for them everytime they see the package or hear me take it out of the cabinet... they will do almost anything to get one of these treats... usually I hear a chorus of meows until they get one!

The package says these flakes are extra large -- and they really are. They are a beautiful pinkish tan color and shaved to perfection. The company has developed technology that extracts the oxygen from the packaging ensuring that the flakes stay fresh. When I opened the package, the fresh wholesome fishy fragrance was amazing and I felt like they had just come out of the drying process. Not only are the flakes large, after a month of opening and closing the package, the flakes have not shrunk or become brittle and they have amazingly retained their color and fragrance.
