Anything Fun

Feed birds stale cat food instead of throwing the stealth cat food away. Stale cat food can be placed outside on a flat surface or in a bowl.

Some cat owners feed stale cat food to birds by putting the stale cat food and other food scraps into a mesh bag that is used for onions when they are sold. However, a bird can become trapped in the mesh, so these bags should not be used.

The stale cat food can be mixed with birdseed for the birds. For some cat owners, leaving cat food outside may not be a good idea if they live in an area populated with raccoons. Raccoons are attracted by cat food which can cause the property become occupied with a clan of raccoons. This can be a health concern since raccoons can carry rabies.

Cat food that is outside or even inside the home near a door can attract ants. To prevent ants from entering the home, cat owners should try to keep cat food bags closed and off the floor.

Many cat owners are concerned about keeping dry cat food from going stale. Some cat owners are buying a larger bags of cat food and usual in order to save money. However, if the food is wasted as a cat won’t eat stale cat food, money could be wasted instead of saved.

A plastic storage container can be used to store the cat food. Storing dry cat food in a storage container can not only keep the cat food fresh, but prevent the food from attracting and or other pests.

If a plastic container is used, it should be washed out with soap and water periodically. This is to prevent the buildup of fat residue from the cat food which can go rancid and contaminate any new food that is added to the container.

Clips that are used to close potato chip bags can also be used on bags of cat food. The clips are most effective of the open end of the bag is folded a few times before the clip is applied.

If a finicky cat refuses to eat cat food that has become the least bit stale, that cat owner may want to switch to canned cat food to avoid cat food waste. Switching cat food should always be done gradually to avoid the cat stomach from being upset by the change.
