Wet Cat Food Storage: Save Your Cat, Save Your Sanity
Ever found yourself staring at a half-eaten can of cat food, wondering if you’re about to poison your beloved gremlin? Same. Here’s the survival guide: As soon as your cat snubs their meal (again), scoop leftovers into an airtight container—plastic tub or zip bag, doesn’t matter, just seal it tight. Don’t let it sit out for more than 4 hours unless you’re into bacterial roulette. Fridge it (not the freezer unless the label says it’s cool), and use within 5 days. If it’s been longer, toss it.
Unopened cans? Cool, dry, dark place. Cupboard, pantry, under your bed—just not in the sun or a sauna. Check those best-by dates like you’re hunting for expired milk. Damaged cans? Bin them.
And don’t mix old and new food. It’s not a buffet. When in doubt, ask your vet. Your cat’s health (and your peace of mind) is worth it.
