Like a lot of the country, the heat has snuck up very early and quickly. I was taken by surprise a bit as I don't watch the news. I have been storing dry cat food in the garage during fall/winter/spring as my garage doesn't get too cold and it was a nice temperature. However, the last two weeks has been quite hot and the garage got pretty hot. I would guess the 90s. I live in a dry area, not humid though it feels more humid in my garage.
I had surgery and mobility is very limited so I didn't think about the heat until recently.
Should I toss the dry food I had in the garage? I have one cat so it also won't get eaten very quickly.
I've tried looking online for guidance but haven't found much. I do recall that growing up, we had several cats and dogs - all outside animals - and their food was kept outside in the garage as well. I don't recall any problems but I wasn't paying as much attention as a 15 year old as I do now, plus I stocked up a bit on the food, whereas we didn't stock up much back then, so not sure the length of time before my current cat would eat it is a thing or not?
