Cat food on the menu

So I bought a bag of bonito flakes for cats. The cats are baffled. Is this to eat? They think not. Bonito flakes for cats seem identical to bonito flakes for humans, so I see dashi in my future.

1. I couldn't keep my late cat away from them

I bought a large bag of bonito flakes to make dashi. The cat figured out how to open the cupboard and drag out the bag for himself.

I use dashi with another type of stock (whatever I have) for ramen (I discard the "flavoring" packet that comes with the ramen and add my own seasonings).

2. I have eight cats

None of them will touch it. From the texture and smell, these are just ordinary bonito flakes repackaged for cats. I don’t normally make dashi, but I’ve been reading Morimoto’s cookbook, so feel inspired. Need to acquire kombu.
