Think of all the starving children in the world, you soft, pampered sh.t.
Three possibilities spring to mind :

(1) Eat it yourself.
(2) Tie your cat down; force open its jaws; and MAKE the little f.cker eat
it.
(3) Lock the cat in a box, or an escape-proof room for a week, with no food.
On release, see if it's in the mood.

Yes, you could save it for later if it is refrigerated.  It should be fine
as long as it is covered (either plastic wrap or a plastic cover).  I
haven't needed to do that because mine eat all of their food, but I did that
for awhile during the "transition" period from dry food to premium canned
food.  In addition, I give each cat 1/3 cat of premium canned food (5.5 oz.)
twice a day.  I refrigerate the remainder in the original can with a plastic
lid.  That leaves 1/3 can, and two of those are then used together for a
meal.

Hi Kiran,

Many cats (my Cheetah is one) enjoy their wet food a bit more gamey.
Cheetah licks the jelly off her food, waits for it to 'ripen' a bit, then
comes back and devours most of what's left.  This doesn't mean you should
poison your cat with putrid food,  but let her decide to try again later.
My Cheetah yowls at me crossly from her dish when she wants fresh, and she's
even dragged me in from the garden if I've missed her dinner time, so I know
she's not forcing herself to eat rotten food.  I've never met a cat who
would.  Don't be too ready to snatch up uneaten food until you've given her
chance to eat it.  When either of my cats are fussy, I simply refuse to feel
guilty (they're very well cared for) and I serve their next dinner at the
appropriate time.  Yes, occasionally I throw away an uneaten dinner, but
it's always at the next meal time, not in response to pussy pathos.

Yes, of course you can refridgerate uneaten food.  It must be covered, and
cling film is fine.  When you want to serve it again, be sure to let it come
to room temperature as most cats prefer their food this way.  Having said
that,  my ex Tiggypuss loved his dinner straight from the fridge, so maybe
try this as well.  You already know that your puss will tell you if she
doesn't appreciate it.

Try not to worry.  It's easy to be governed by pussy pathos but, when you
know how, it's easier still not to be.  Another quick tip: don't watch kitty
eat - would you like it? - put her dinner down and walk away, so she's knows
you mean business.

Hope all goes well,
Spider

Don't know about yours but mine very seldon will eat when I give it to them but by morning
it is always gone.  I would just leave it and see if they eat it later.  I have one that
loves his canned food but he prefers it after it starts to dry out then he wolfs down
whatever the others have left.

The others eat a little at a time when they "get the urge" to eat.

I feed my cat Hall's Prescription I/D canned food. I once called them to ask
some questions. The lady on the phone said canned food shouldn't be left at
room temperature for more than 3 or 4 hours. This makes sense to me. So, I
only dole out what I know she'll eat in one sitting.

When I buy canned food at my vets I also get a supply of plastic lids. After
Her Majesty gets her breakfast I save the rest in the refrigerator with the
washable lid on the can. She'll eat it after the second day but asking her
to eat food that's been in the fridge for 3 days is, I think, a personal
insult to her. She says, 'no'.

No you can just cover it well with syran or put it in a plastic
container witha sealing lid--no problem.My cat goes through her fiicky
thing.Some days she's hungry-polishes off all her food other days I
have to refridgerateit.I give her a half hour to eat her meal and
whatever is left gets covered and put in the fridge for her next meal.

Feed her/him with dry food. Better for the teeth.
