Open Can Cover

I’ve tried them all. From the rubber ones that you can buy to fit short round cans to the silicone ones that just sit on top. None of them have worked for me. They either fall off in the refrigerator or I have to pry them back open, if I’m lucky.

Until I found this nice little hack. A tuna can, cleaned out and turned upside down on top of an open can of cat food.

If I need another dish for feeding, it’s right there until I can find a new permanent one.

The tuna can nicely keeps the open cat food can sealed and I can easily remove it when i need to access the contents. And if cats try to get to the cat food before I do, it’s not easy for them to remove it.

What about those little rubber can tops they sell?

This is an ancient one, it’s been sitting unused in a drawer. It is going to get a good run through the dishwasher and become the bottom for a small flower pot.
