I nearly get tackled by all 6 of mine if I even touch the churu container, lol..each one needs an intervention where those are concerned! Anyone new in my house gets handed one, Churu's make friends ha ha..
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?!
My girl Cleo once stole a Costco blueberry muffin off my husband's desk. She didn't make it far but we laughed for several minutes at the muffin on the ground with a bite taken out of it.
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.
Omg my cat Lulu is OBSESSED with pizza. I always give her and her sister Lily a little bite of pizza cheese whenever I have some. This week I had pizza and tossed a bite to Lulu and then another bite to Lily, but on the other side of Lily so Lulu wouldn't be able to snatch it. Lulu gobbled hers down, LEAPED OVER LILY, and stole Lily's cheese before Lily could even grab it.
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.
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 bag and roll it up to push out all the possible air.
I put mine in a dispenser that has a rubber gasket on the lid to keep the air out as much as possible. What doesn't fit in that stays in the bag with it rolled up tightly and secured with a big binder clip.
My cats bolt directly to the dispenser like they've never seen food before when it spits out their meal so it must be keeping it fresh enough.
My cat gets exclusively Kirkland signature wet food because he is missing most of his teether and can't chew the dry food. Every meal is individually wrapped.
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. 🔥
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.
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.
We pour the kibble to a small 500ml thermal jug, then push the air out of the big bag, roll it out, put rubber band on it, then put it in a large plastic food container to keep minimum air contact.
We live in a tropical country so that's a must or the kibble will not only get soft from the moist but will grow mold as well, which can be deadly.
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 (it seems it takes 4-6 weeks to go bad from oxygen) but something to consider. Their brand of food isn’t easily resealable either so that’s part of it. Thanks for letting me know, TIL.
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.
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.
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 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
Must be something about grey and white cats because my cat looks nearly identical and does the same exact thing lol. Even sticks his paw in to try to get food. My little beast will sit in the kitchen waiting for people to come in and trick them into thinking he hasn't eaten. Today he managed to trick people into feeding him double.
Aw, that’s nice of them to be so polite and clean about it……..my oranges just dive bomb their head into the center of the kibble stream and the food goes everywhere except the container
