Can you recommend me a good omega 3/fish oil supplement for my cats?

I’m looking to get an omega 3/fish oil supplement for my cats that I can mix in with their canned food. (Blue Buffalo Wilderness if it makes a difference.) Both of my cats are older males (one is probably 11-12, the other about 9). They’re not particularly picky eaters. Any recommendations?

Can anyone recommend a book that provides vitamin & mineral details for common foods (for a child)?

What I’m looking for is a book that is somewhat child friendly, that would allow my niece to say “hmm, if I eat broccoli for dinner, what vitamins and minerals will I be getting?” I don’t want only the basic nutrition labels — carbs, protein, fat isn’t all we’re after, though it would be great if that information were present. What I want is for her to be able to know that she’ll get iron if she eats broccoli, she’ll get vitamin k if she eats spinach, she’ll get omega-3 from fish, etc. Does anyone know of such a book? The book does NOT need to be made specifically for kids, on the other hand it probably shouldn’t be a medical textbook, either. An added bonus would be the reverse ability (she can look up a vitamin or nutrient and find a list of foods that contain that vitamin or nutrient). As a second added bonus, it would be terrific if the book also outlined what each vitamin/mineral/nutrient does for our bodies. Multiple books would be fine! Thanks in advance.
In case it wasn’t clear, I’m not looking for information on how to lose weight, fast or otherwise.
Thanks for the great answer, Dr. P! Unfortunately I’m in the US, not the UK. And a tiny bit more kid-oriented would be good, if it exists. I found one possible answer DK Publishing has a book called “Food” that looks promising, but I very much welcome any other ideas.
