keeping tinned cat food fresh and tasty

Have any of you found a way to do this? Most of you seem to have more than one cat so maybe it is not an issue. O likes canned bozita but only for about 12 hours after opening the can i would say. Because he can't tolerate too much wet food I also give him coley (cheap white fish) most days as well or cheap chicken if I can get it. Only having tinned food meals/pouches would be too much even of the premium premium brands.

I've just frozen a couple of portions of bozita and am hoping it might still be tasty after defrosting.

I tried him on some foods that you can get in 200g cans - animonda and schmusy but he tells me that these are rubbish.

I also tried him on some cosma which I regret really as he loved it and my bank balance really can't take it! plus he then started being a bit less keen on the bozita...I bought some 175g tins of the cosma since the feeding guide is 1 to 2 100g pouches a day but I'm sure he'd eat more than that in a day after trying him with his free 100g pouch. After feeding him some I don't think his tummy could handle having only cosma in a day anyway. Additional food on top of an 80p can would work out to be expensive.

If freezing canned bozita works that will be better value. (If he likes butchers classic and freezing that works that will be cheaper still....)

Ive frozen tinned food before but it seemed to go a bit waterey maybe it was just the food i had. I suppose its not difference to us freezing our food. All i know is cats like there food more room temp when defrosted

Thanks for that. I wouldn't be surprised if it did go a bit watery but fingers crossed that he'll eat it! Sounds like it should be ok and I'll try and get it up to room temp. before serving.
