I purchased one of these silicone lid that fit multiple sized tins and leave the food in room temperature on the counter unless it's hot summer days and it keeps the food fresh AF!
Canned food should be placed in the fridge after opening even when using these lids. Unless it’s just for a few hours.I purchased one of these silicone lid that fit multiple sized tins and leave the food in room temperature on the counter unless it's hot summer days and it keeps the food fresh AF!

It's usually out for about 3 hours, is that okay?Canned food should be placed in the fridge after opening even when using these lids. Unless it’s just for a few hours.
Yep I think that’s fine as long as your house isn’t super warm.It's usually out for about 3 hours, is that okay?
I reheat my cats' wet food in the microwave and it doesn't smell at all. You just want to warm it up to room temperature, not really heat it up so a few seconds is usually sufficient. My husband had never noticed that I heat it up in the microwave and my kitchen doesn't smell from it...So, my Simon had his yearly vet visit today (got the rabies and feline distemper/panleuk vaccines, as well as an ear cleaning and claw trimming) and did phenomenal. Apparently, the regimen we had in place with the miralax and l-lysine paste is working out great in terms of keeping his health in check, though I need to find a way of cleaning his ears (boy is very sensitive about his ears being messed with; No infection or mites, just gunked up ears, I guess)
Anyway, he apparently gained four pounds since we adopted him last year - moving from right around 10 lbs to 14 lbs, though the vet admits that he might've been a bit underweight for his size when we adopted him. Vet recommended that we cut him down to a half can of wet food a day - which won't work since that's how he takes his meds, but we're going to try doing just one can a day split into morning and evening feeds (If that doesn't work, we go back to two cans and just figure out a better exercise/play routine).
I put the other half of the can in a small tupperware container in the fridge - but how do I go about reheating it for his dinner? I share the microwave with other residents of the house, and they are ADAMENT that they don't want the microwave to smell like cat food (I wonder why! )
How would y'all recommend that I reheat his dinner (since I know cats don't typically like eating cold food)? Do I fill a bowl of hot water and let the water reheat the can of food?
Help is appreciated!
