June 4, 2004, Newsletter Issue #97: Food Temperature
Tip of the Week
You may be tempted to heat your kitties leftover food in the microwave, but I donīt recommend this.
My research says that cats should eat food that is room temperature. Any food that is too warm or too cold can cause intestinal troubles for your cat.
However, trying to leave a whole can of food out of the refrigerator, will cause it to spoil if your room temperature is above 65F or so. If you have a īcoldī window, you can store the open can of food on the window sill with a tight fitting cover. This will at least keep the food cold enough to prevent spoilage, but allow the food to heat up faster.
I heat a small amount of water (up to boiling) and then stir a couple of spoonfulls into the cold food. This will bring the temperature of the cold food up to something more satisfactory for your cat, without getting the food too hot.
Note: You donīt want to add too much water, or your cat wonīt care for the food.
Until next week,
