glass container (not too easy to get these days) and into a coolbag.

We got some a few years ago from Ikea - not sure if they still sell them? They have lids with a rubber seal round.


I have seen some tubs in Wilkinsons that have gel in. You freeze the tub and then you can keep food cool in them.

I take up the uneaten nosh and put it back in a glass container (not too easy to get these days) and into a coolbag. Then it's not as cold as in the fridge but seems to keep better. We have a plague of flies so far this summer for some reason  :sick:

Wet food lasts ages here. I'm going to have to work out a system here he has 1/2 a pouch both am and pm which can last ages. One thing I hates about working in a Cattery were the flies  :sick:

Ours eat wet food as soon as I put it down which is a blessing really in this weather.

Same here.  They lick their dishes clean as soon as it's put out.  So no problems with flies here!  ;D

Yep, here too.  Blip does not leave a molecule for the flies  8)

But the advice is good  :)

Catfood heat and flies

Just a reminder about leaving catfood out in the heat too long. Flies love to lay eggs on warm cat food  :sick:
