Seb refuses to eat any "leftover" food out of a can. I want to give him half in the morning and the other half at night, but he turns up his nose at anything that has been refrigerated.

I even nuke it for a few seconds to warm it up, but nope. Is there any way to make the leftover tastier for him?

Thanks

This might sound silly... but have you ever tried not microwaving? Chase won't eat wet that has been microwaved.

I've heard of quite a few kitties that prefer it warmed up with a little hot water mixed in instead, too.. Chase isn't one of those cats though, so I can't speak for how well it works myself.

Mixing in hot water often helps, or you can put the food in a container, and float the container in some hot water. That way, it heats more evenly. If all else fails, you might be able to make a bit of gravy or use tuna or clam juice in small quantities to entice the kitty to eat.

I solved my "leftover" and "food left in the bowl" problem by purchasing a small personal blender. I mix 1 or 2 oz of canned food with enough hot tap water to make a sauce. The cat loves it and I save money purchasing 6oz cans instead of 3oz cans. The amount of "sauce" disposed of is minimal compared to the dried and/or leftover food I used to have to throw away.
