cat food in fridge

[abnihon]

Do you put your cat food in the fridge?
I do cause I heard it helps preserve it. But now I'm wondering if that's really necessary. Especially now that it's no longer hot and humid.

Where do you store yours?

Do you mean the try or wet?
I've never put dry in the fridge, but leftover can/pouches do go in there, then are microwaved right before serving.

sorry, I meant dry food.

My cat's dry food stays in an airtight and lightproof container at room temperature (away from the sun or heaters).

My dry stays in airtight and in the cupboard also....as far as wet goes...I open the can, let them eat what they want and throw the rest away. After it has been in the :censor::censor::censor::censor: they will not eat it AT ALL ! I`ve tried letting it warm to room temp on the counter, heating in the mic and in a pan....and THEY SYILL KNOW it`s been in the :censor::censor::censor::censor:!!!

We keep Harley's dry food in an air tight container in our storage room and his wet food in the cupboard, and then when he's ready to eat it, I only give him 1/2 the can (he can't eat it all at once!) then the rest goes in the fridge til next feeding time that day, then it has to be warmed back up in the microwave until he approves!

Talk about a picky eater!

i keep mine in an airtight container. it was actually a promotional thing purina did a couple years ago at our target store. it holds 18# of cat food, and it's on wheels, with a flip top and a rubber seal around the edges. now they sell the same thing (pretty much) at target (in the dog food section) and i've seen similar products at petsmart.

I refrigerate my leftover wet, but my dry food and the unopened cans of wet are in the pantry....

Add me to the container list! I buy big bags of kibble at Sams Club and his feeder only holds 5 pounds at a time, so the rest goes in a big rubbermaid container in the closet (I just keep it in the kibble bag, don't dump it in)... and even though he's got a constant supply of food, he always darts in the kibble closet whenever it's opened and mews at the container, haha.... never heard of refridgerating the dry stuff, I think as long as it's sealed or in a sealed container, it's good

I wonder if open cat food can absorb funky fridge smells and tastes like an open glass/container of milk can and that's why they know..... just a thought (maybe if you put the leftovers in an airtight tupperware container or something, you can trick them!)

I put wet food in the refrigerator but I cover it tightly with wrap, the nuke it before feeding.
