on a can it is even written that after opening can food should be stored in the fridge. i have stored cat food in the fridge up to 48 hours after opening. i always warm it up before serving, usually take it out to room temp hour or so before feeding and also add a bit of hot water to it just before serving.

I have tupperware airtight little box that i store cat food in (in the fridge, after opening, just don't like the idea of food sitting in open metal tin, i do the same for our human food )

My cats just eat it cold. Is it suggested to warm it up? They haven't had a problem, so far. They eat it right up.

 

I store my cat's wet food in the fridge and they go through about a can every week (I feed them half wet (Innova) and half dry (Taste of the Wild). The food keeps for the whole week. I just put aluminum foil over the top but there are "can savers" you can buy which are much better and keep the food a lot fresher. The link below is for some. I am sure you can find them at any store.

Thanks for the quick responses!

 

I warm it up using the defrost cycle for a few seconds. I keep it in the fridge just like I would keep any other meat product - up to 3 or 4 days. Probably would keep longer, but with 6 mouths to feed twice + a day, it doesn't hang around here long!

 

I usually only leaved canned food in the fridge for 24 hours. Before I feed the refridgerated food, I leave it out because they won't eat it cold.OTOH they don't like the microwaved food.

 

I leave the wet cat food out that i'll use for the day because my cats don't like cold food and i heard that reheating wet food decreases the nutritional value.

One of my kittens won't eat it if I warm it up. She'll eat it at room temperature (open a new can) or cold from the fridge. The other cat will eat anything, so I feed it to them cold.

 

I buy the bigger cans as well and keep them in the fridge I think Boo goes through a can about once every 4 days and it keeps fine. I use the can saver and find them pretty good.

I dont have a microwave so I run her bowl under the hot water and then add the food.
