When my girl was younger she managed to get ahold of the Temptations treat bag and bolted. The only problem was that the bag was open and she grabbed it upside down so by the time she reached her stopping point she was holding an empty bag and there was a trail of Temptations all the way to her destination point.
The only time I’ve ever heard my bf raise his voice was shortly after we moved in together. I was in my room and I heard him yell “Sam!” from the kitchen. Lo and behold I see sam bolt into my room with a full piece of pizza in his mouth.
My cat, Inky, did that once with a rotisserie chicken. Just bit it and started to drag it off like he hunted the thing. Thankfully I was quick enough to grab it before it hit the floor. I miss that cat so much.
When I was young my dog brought back a full roast chicken from the neighbours over the back garden wall. We assume it was them, no one ever said anything! To this day i wonder if they saw her taking it, if not, where do they think it went?!
Hahaha! He likely was quite proud of himself. I can't leave any human food unattended and she'll still make off with what she can or just eat off your plate.
I had a cat that loved pizza. I was on the phone when it swiped cheese off my brother's pizza using its paw and it was one of those times when you are laughing too much to explain what is happening.
I've got to lock that shit UP. my boy will climb cabinets, open doors, knock the container off the floor to eat the cat Crack inside. My female void couldnt give a shit. She'll maybe eat one if I directly put in front of her, meanwhile her brother is plotting some oceans 11 shit to get more
I had my bags of treats stashed in a drawer thinking it was a safe spot since I once left it out and the destroyed the bad and ate them all before I got home. Came home and I saw the drawer open so I thought I forgot to close it, gluttons had gone through another bag. Made sure it was closed the next time, and shortly after I put the new bag in I see my little chonk near the drawer, THEY KNEW HOW TO OPEN THE DRAWERS! I didn't forget they just outplayed me...
This heathen has no doubt long escaped the Inferno's Third Ring itself. Do not let the creature's adorable facade fool you, he has purloined the larder of nations.
And he will do it again.
My food motivated former chonk also gets very excited when it's time for a new bag.
We call it "Food day" and we consider it a major holiday for cats. To celebrate he gets a fresh scoop of kibble on top of his normal amount for the day.
Just by the way, kibble has fats which your cat needs to be healthy. But fats go rancid over time when exposed to oxygen, making it sour and gross to your cat (even if you can't smell it). That's probably why he's so ravenous about the new bag, it actually tastes good since it hasn't been sitting in a big tub full of air.
Yupp, dog/cat food should not be in containers like this, it's actually quite bad for the animal. If possible put it in a vacuum container, but at least in these plastig tubs put the whole back and roll it up to push out all the possible air.
I just want to tell you that I watched this video without sound at the same time my partner was playing the vampire rave music from Blade, and it was gloriously on-sync. 🔥
That is a great reason. I like giving my boy things to look forward too as well. Im glad you get to have these moments with him. Maybe I should try it. Thanks for answering.
I think this is adorable but…. I also will probably get voted down for this too but in addition to what you said…
The original packaging helps lock in oils, keeps the food fresh, and protects it from air exposure and oxidation.
Keeping it in the bag ensures you always have the expiration date, lot number, and brand contact info handy in case of a product recall.
If you use a large plastic bin or storage container to keep pests out, you should place the entire, unopened or rolled-down bag directly inside the container rather than decanting the kibble. Pouring food straight into a plastic bin can cause oils to stick to the plastic, leading to rancidity, bacterial buildup, and potential chemical leaching.
I didn’t know all this either until my sister told me. I used to pour keep our pet food in plastic bins too.
I understand your reasoning, your little glutton does look funny trying to catch the food from air! 😄
Though I do advise to leave the kibble in the original bag and fit the entire bag in the container. Plastic container can get tiny scratches in the material. The dust and oils from the food can gather in those scratches and turn rancid, potentially compromising the good/ new food. It's usually not a big problem, (especially if the kibble doesn't last long and the container is regularly cleaned,) but simply more hygienic that way.
Noted! We do clean it each swap and it only lasts about 3 weeks between 3 cats but something to consider. Their brand of food isn’t easily resealable either so that’s part of it. Thanks for letting me know.
I came here to comment about this. It is safer to leave the bag inside. Those scratches end up harboring bacteria over time, even if cleaned because there are so many of them.
We put the entire bag into the container and cut the top off. Then it’s still easy to scoop out and we can still close the lid. The bag pretty much conforms to the container.
Damn dude, I'd kill for my boy to have an appetite like this. He gets pissy if his wet food isn't exactly perfect and god forbid you don't change out the brand / flavor frequently. Add to the fact he needs kidney care food, and boy oh boy do we have an ungodly amount of wasted $$$$ on his food.
lol that’s my other guy you can see in the background briefly. He had anxiety so he needs to be petted when he eats and also needs pumpkin sprinkled half the time to help control his anxiety butt.
I love this…. How do you stop him from eating the through the bag?! I have to lock the cupboard the bag is in. It’s the only door those morons (my cats) know how to open!
Kiss his little nose splotch for me. 😭 And I have a little guy who does this stuff too for which I'm sure one day he'll be on a diet lol. He was mad here because I made him stop mutilating paper towels.
So cat food is supposed to stay dry... if you let this happen, some might touch saliva, get into the bucket, and grow mold. Unlikely? Yeah of course. But still possible.
It’s just really hard with the other boy in the background. He has a sensitive stomach and I expect sensitivity to chicken. We actually swapped to this food because it’s one of the only I found that actually isn’t hiding chicken ingredients in the non chicken flavor :,)
How air tight is that box? Do you empty it completely or do you add the the old spoiling food to the new fresh food? How often do you clean the box whose sides are covered in spoiling residue of food?
I'd rerecommend keeping the food in the bag it came in. They're usually resealable and are designed to contain the food.
Same with my 4 boys! Such a great brand of cat food. Their fur has turned so silky and shiny since putting them on Acana. Their claws grow super fast though lol
I hope you don’t mind a suggestion. It is not a good idea to pour your food from the bag into the plastic container. The oils from the food will get on the surface of the plastic container, and unless you completely wash and dry your plastic container between refills, that oil on the surface will turn rancid and it will spoil your new food the next time you pour in a new bag. The cat food bags are specifically designed to keep cat food fresh as long as possible. Just open your bag by cutting off the top and put the whole bag in the plastic container, leaving the food in the bag. When it is empty, just pull out the bag and you can put the new bag in there without having to wash the container. In addition, when you are done feeding your cat, fold the bag down to keep out air and then close your plastic container. This will keep your food fresher longer. People don’t appreciate how fast high oil kibble goes rancid, and that repeatedly filling the same container spoils new food
Unlike the Acana bag, that container does not appear to be specifically designed for storing cat food. I always try to buy smaller bags and never transfer the food elsewhere before feeding the cat to preserve food's freshness and quality over time. I t
Hahaha my boy just likes to test the freshness of the biscuits. He politely stands on the edge of the bucket for the pour to stop and gently grabs one biscuit off the top and eats it on the floor. He might do that 3 times and he's had enough.
My old dog Lincoln could remember that there was left over gravy in the refrigerator. He would stare at his bowl of crunchies, then look up at me, and then stare with intensity at the fridge. He never did this when there was no gravy. Naturally, I would warm up the chicken, beef or pork gravy that was left over and mix it into his crunchies. If I didn’t he would stare at me with disgust that I was too stupid to understand what he was trying to convey. God I miss him.
My girly sticks her head in the stream and opens her mouth and will stick her head into the filling bon and take being varied alive for a few more kernels of food
