Organic Fresh Delights Grocery

Sim File Share

Welcome to Organic Fresh Delights, your one-stop destination for all things fresh and organic! We're committed to providing the highest quality organic goods sourced directly from our local farmers and fisherman offering a vibrant selection of vegetables, fruits, premium cuts of meat and fish. We also have an array of products ranging from lush plants to food, drinks and essential household items. Step into our store and immerse yourself in a world of freshness, flavor, and sustainability.

Price: 72,780 Lot Size: 25x25 Lot Type: Visitors Allowed Store Content: Click here CC Used: Click here File Type: Package Min. Required Game Version: 1.42 Packs Needed: The Sims 3, Late Night (floor), Pets (buydebug object), Ambitions, World Adventures (food register, gate from ATS3)

Hi everyone! I was going to share one of my older builds from years ago but I found out that most of the objects I used for that lot were in sim3pack format and most of the CCs I transferred over to my current setup have been converted to package files, which messed up the appearance of the lot. So, I've recreated it this time and I'm sharing a new grocery lot: the Organic Fresh Delights Grocery!

Click on the ’Keep Reading’ below for more information and pictures on this lot.

For the rabbit hole, I placed it in an empty stockroom/office and have also locked the fire escape door and fence at the back of the lot so that sims can only enter the door inside the building. This was the only option that worked during playtesting so that sims can enter in and out of the rabbit hole inside the room only. If you want to open those doors though, you can do it by editing the lot and click CTRL + Shift + Right Click to choose the unlock option. Due to the lack of windows on the first floor, I have placed a lot of buydebug lights and it may be too bright during the night so you can adjust it by enabling “testingcheatsenabled true” and “buydebug on” after. 📣This lot is a bit CC-heavy, as I have used more cc compared to game objects and these are not included on the download file. I’ve compiled a list for those interested in downloading them separately (please click the links above or go to WCIF Navigation page). The Late Night and World Adventures expansion pack is required due to the build items used in the lot but I'm not sure about buydebug items so Pets may be required as well. 📣There are two CCs that I was unable to locate the original link namely: mtk_signdoors and Public Signs - CAStable both from Macthekat. I tried the direct links and it doesn't work anymore so I had to check using the Wayback Machine site and was able to find her Terms of Use from the old site, Pink Rabbit that states "All our products is shear-friendly - just make sure to give proper credit. You may include my work in sims packages if you want to" and "You may include my stuff into almost anything – it would be nice if you mention my name, but I can live without it. You may share my stuff." With those terms, I have re-uploaded them to sfs and if there is an updated TOU from the creator (or if you are Macthekat) that states otherwise please do let me know and I will take the links down. 📣If you want a functional grocery store in your gameplay, you can use Ani's Sell From Inventory mod. I have used a few storage or chest-like CCs and a food register from ATS3 that you can use. If you prefer Ani’s Savvier Seller instead, you may have to replace most of the items and use ATS3 Savvy's Seller Collection set instead. You can also check out Mookymilksims guide and tutorial video for realistic function shops using Savvier Seller mod. It is very easy to follow and has detailed instructions to help you out to make it work! Let me know if you experience any problems on your end.

Catalysts show potential for breaking down microplastics to create usable fuel

Microplastics, plastics smaller than 5 millimeters, are littered across the world, contributing to global warming, disrupting food chains, and harming ecosystems with toxic chemicals. This is why Dr. Manish Shetty is working to break down plastics before they can get into the environment. Creating sustainable chemicals and developing better waste management will contribute to better sustainability. This research is part of figuring out how to make green hydrogen available for waste management using catalysts. Shetty's research uses solvents in low amounts that also act as hydrogen sources to break down a specific class of plastics called condensation polymers, which include polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, packaging, textiles, and 3D printing.

Hailing Frequencies (Part 1)

[art by @pockamune]

Lylack fiddled with the controls. There wasn't really anything to do with them right then, so the fiddling was redundant. Like playing an electric fiddle that wasn't plugged in. Electric fiddle, Lylack thought. Electric griddle. Mm...

The lanky springhare stretched both legs out onto the control panel and looked to their left, where a monument of empty Zapfood boxes regarded them balefully. It had been too long since the last stop, Lylack decided. Stocking up on packaged food didn't mean stocking up on proper meals, and the sooner they got to where they were going, the better. Back home, they would have simply stopped off at whatever highway diner happened along, confident that, wherever you are in the world, a pancake is more or less flat and edible.

Only, they weren't in the world anymore. They were in space, and whatever its charms, the vastness of the interstellar universe meant it wasn't just lacking in diners, it was lacking in everything. Between the little life-preserving systems ringed around their favorite life-sustaining stars, you weren't looking for friendly rest stop billboards so much as for two full atoms to rub together. There was nothing. And...

No one.

Lylack wouldn't have told you they were an introvert. You never would have had the chance to ask. For as long as they could remember, they had been burrowed away working on their little pet projects and flights of fancy, taking in society as a snorkel takes in air: a regrettable necessity that prevents its wearer from diving even further out of sight. It wasn't a question of how often they felt the need to be around other people, but how often their presence was required. In fact, it was one of the main reasons they had taken this job as an intergalactic bar delivery driver—the solitude, they assumed, would be comforting. And as it turned out, it was.

Yet, thought Lylack, as they checked the scanners for the millionth pointless time. Yet.

There was a difference between solitude and being all alone. It didn't set in right away, and it had a habit of fading from your mind when you were back on solid ground again. But these times, these long hauls, halfway between somewhere and somewhere else, just as far from anything as anything could be—this wasn't just a quiet place to think, it was a silence so intense it laid a blanket on your brain. Dimensions lost their shape, time became confused and seemed to go on only when you looked the other way. The clear sense of identity that tended to emerge from contemplation lost its balance way out here, unsure of the borders between the fathomless recesses of your mind and the beckoning infinity of space. At least, it did without a couple decent meals to spice things up.

Lylack glanced back over at the stack of Zapfood boxes over there on the floor. The portside cabin deck, they tried to glue into their brain. Not for the first time this trip, they considered going back into the cargo area to liberate a case of what this whole workaday voyage was supposed to be about.

Any decently advanced outpost had a food substantiator capable of synthesizing anything a bar or club might need—everything, that is, except the alcohol it made its money on. It was true that some quaint little places here and there still brewed their drinks the old fashioned way, but by and large, an operation of that kind relied on too many moving parts when you considered that most planets didn't even have an atmosphere thick enough to support traditional agriculture, never mind a business-minded person who might be carrying such antiquated expertise. To synthesize alcoholic drinks, then, as was standard practice, you needed a Wine, Beer, and Spirits Substantiator (WBSS) and a license to operate it, both items prohibitively expensive for any average establishment to bear up on its own. (There were also similar machines and licenses for other controlled substances—Lylack didn't concern themselves with these because it was enough headache remembering their own employer's ones.)

In fact, there was no actual difference in hardware between a regular food substantiator and one labeled as a WBSS, but manufacturers were required to lock unauthorized features safely away from consumer use. Tampering with a food substantiator with the intent to create illegal goods was punishable by severe fines, or, if done with intent to sell, imprisonment. The law, as is typical, ended up as a matter of cost, and it was far easier for most bar owners to turn a profit ordering their stock from light years away than to invest in legal manufacture locally or risk getting caught up in the aftermath of a smuggling operation gone bad.

It was a long way of convincing themselves that this delivery job was necessary, Lylack decided. They didn't decide whether their job actually was necessary, though. Not now. That was too much to think about out here where a vague sense of purpose could be the only line towing you along. Here where navigating scattered asteroids would feel like walking happily among a crowded room. Here where you'd give anything to see the screen light up with anything you hadn't entered in yourself. Here where—

It was lighting up.

Lylack scrambled to pull their legs back off the panel, and in so doing, lost their balance completely, tumbling backwards over the captain's chair and accidentally mashing keys as their long feet bounced off the controls. A comm link opened.

Lylack bounded back up behind the chair, their black-tipped ears making the first appearance, followed by a mess of purple hair and deep brown eyes that looked inquisitively up at the viewing screen. "Hello?" they said, squinting at the fuzzy image wavering in front of them until it resolved into a fuzzy face that squinted back before opening its own eyes wide.

The face opened its mouth as the comm speaker chattered to life. "Lylack?" it asked hesitantly, in a voice that cracked like sweet milk tea poured over lots of ice.

"Lylack, is that you?"

The Role of Cleaning Chemicals in Maintaining Hygiene and Safety

In today’s world, maintaining hygiene and cleanliness is more critical than ever. Cleaning chemicals play a pivotal role in ensuring environments—whether homes, offices, hospitals, or industrial facilities—are not only clean but also safe and healthy. These chemicals are designed to effectively remove dirt, germs, and other contaminants, contributing significantly to overall public health.

Importance of Proper Use

While cleaning chemicals are effective, their improper use can lead to health risks and environmental damage. It’s essential to follow manufacturer guidelines for dilution, application, and disposal. Overuse or incorrect mixtures can result in toxic fumes, skin irritation, or damage to surfaces.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): When using strong cleaning chemicals, it is crucial to wear appropriate PPE such as gloves, masks, and eye protection to prevent contact with skin and eyes and avoid inhaling harmful fumes.

Environmental Impact: Many cleaning chemicals, if not used or disposed of properly, can harm the environment. Some contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that contribute to air pollution, while others may contaminate water supplies. The shift towards eco-friendly and biodegradable cleaning products is gaining momentum as businesses and consumers become more environmentally conscious.

Innovations in Cleaning Chemicals

The cleaning industry is constantly evolving, with new formulations and technologies being developed to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact. Some of the latest innovations include:

Eco-Friendly Cleaners: These are made from natural, biodegradable ingredients that are less harmful to the environment. They are free from harsh chemicals like phosphates and chlorine, making them safer for both users and the planet.

Enzymatic Cleaners: These use natural enzymes to break down organic matter such as food stains and pet messes, offering an effective and non-toxic cleaning solution.

Antimicrobial Coatings: After cleaning, some surfaces can be treated with antimicrobial coatings that provide long-lasting protection against germs and bacteria, reducing the frequency of cleaning needed.

Concentrated Formulas: To reduce packaging waste and carbon footprint, manufacturers are producing highly concentrated cleaning solutions that require less product for the same level of cleaning power.

Conclusion

Sanitizers are important tools in the effort to maintain cleanliness and safety in facilities. Understanding appropriate use, potential risks, and the importance of environmentally friendly alternatives can help individuals and businesses make informed choices. As the industry continues to innovate, future detergents will likely focus on balance and sustainability, ensuring if we clean up the environment we will not compromise the health of our planet.

It's a silent ambassador that communicates brand identity, preserves product integrity, and enhances user experience. Within this realm, flexible packaging versatile and innovative solution in USA, offering a myriad of benefits for both manufacturers and consumers alike.

Adaptability in Design

One of the primary advantages of flexible packaging lies in its adaptability. Unlike traditional rigid packaging formats, such as cans or glass jars, flexible packaging can be tailored to accommodate a wide range of shapes, sizes, and product types. This flexibility in design opens up endless possibilities for brands to differentiate themselves on the shelf and effectively cater to evolving consumer preferences.

Whether it's a resealable pouch for snacks, a stand-up bag for pet food, or a spouted pouch for liquids, flexible packaging offers the versatility to meet diverse packaging needs. This adaptability not only enhances product visibility but also optimizes shelf space utilization, ultimately driving sales and brand recognition.

Enhanced Sustainability

In an era marked by growing environmental consciousness, sustainability has become a top priority for consumers and businesses alike. Flexible packaging presents a compelling case in this regard, offering several eco-friendly advantages over traditional packaging materials.

First and foremost, flexible packaging typically generates less waste compared to rigid alternatives, thanks to its lightweight construction and efficient use of materials.

Furthermore, the compact nature of flexible packaging translates to reduced transportation costs and carbon emissions, contributing to overall supply chain sustainability. By embracing flexible packaging solutions, brands can align themselves with the growing demand for eco-conscious products and demonstrate their commitment to environmental stewardship.

Preservation of Product Freshness

Maintaining product freshness and shelf life is a critical consideration for manufacturers across various industries, particularly in sectors such as food and beverage. Flexible packaging excels in this aspect, offering superior barrier properties that effectively safeguard against moisture, oxygen, light, and other external factors that can compromise product quality.

Whether it's extending the shelf life of perishable goods or preserving the flavor and aroma of delicate ingredients, flexible packaging provides an effective barrier against environmental contaminants. This not only enhances product integrity but also reduces food waste and enhances overall consumer satisfaction.

Moreover, advancements in active and intelligent packaging technologies have further enhanced the functionality of flexible packaging by incorporating features such as oxygen scavengers, moisture absorbers, and temperature indicators. These innovations empower brands to deliver products that are fresher, safer, and more appealing to consumers, thereby fostering trust and loyalty in their brand.

5.1% is the annual growth in the number of families in Europe that keep pets, according to the latest FEDIAF report for 2023, part of which is Mars, Inc. The total number of households with four-legged friends is 91 million. This is 46% of families on the Old Continent, according to data from the European Federation. In the leading position in Bulgaria among pets are cats, which are 815,000, followed by dogs, which are 750,000.

Considering this information and at the height of summer, the experts at Mars, Inc. have prepared a list of some useful tips for the owners of four-legged friends who do not want to part with them during their summer vacation. The tips include all the most important things that carers need to think about before departure. Starting with choosing a suitable destination, to providing a balanced diet for pets to feel as comfortable as possible during new and unknown adventures for them.

5 Tips for Traveling with Pets from Mars, Inc.:

1. Destination: Before planning a holiday with your pet, it is important to research the destination - what is the climate like, are there enough activities to do with your pets, is there access to a vet nearby. For example, if you are headed to the sea, check in advance if there are any nearby beaches where pets can walk freely.

2. Transportation Check the conditions for traveling with animals on your chosen transport. Prepare the necessary medical documentation if necessary and make sure your four-legged friend's passport is in order. In case you will be traveling by car, make sure that the animal feels comfortable. If it has no experience being transported in a car, it is advisable to do a few sightseeing tours of the city so that the pet gets used to it before the trip.

3. Accommodation More and more hotels and guest houses are now accepting pets, but it is important to check their pet conditions, additional fees and possible restrictions to avoid unwanted inconveniences upon arrival.

4. Food It is possible that changing the familiar atmosphere can be stressful for pets. To avoid additional stress for your furry friend, be prepared with plenty of food and treats that your pet already knows and loves. Products such as Whiskas, Pedigree, Perfect Fit, Sheba, Dreamies, Cesar and other well-known brands from the Mars, Inc. portfolio. are perfect for the occasion. The wide selection of nutritious and environmentally-friendly packaged food produced from sustainable sources contains everything you need to keep your pets happy and healthy. Also, make sure you provide them with enough water in the summer heat. It is recommended that you also bring a portable pet bowl or bottle. To make sure your pet feels good and adapts to the new environment. Try to stick to the meal, walk, and rest schedule you're used to at home.

5. Have fun This is also the most important of all tips. Vacationing with pets is a perfect opportunity to create unforgettable memories and strengthen your bond with them even more. Knowing the temperament and moods of your pet, do not be afraid to improvise and get as many positive emotions and fun moments as possible from your joint adventures.

About my business operational plan

Imagine a cozy café where people can enjoy a cup of coffee or tea while being surrounded by adorable furry friends. Combining the love for animals and the joy of sipping beverages, opening a café with fur babies can be a dream come true. In this blog post, we will outline the essential elements of our business operations plan, including sourcing products, generating resources, and launching our café. We will also discuss the roles and responsibilities within our group and shed light on any licenses or permits required. So, let's dive in and explore the path to making our fur-tastic café a reality.

Sourcing Products: As a café with fur babies, sourcing the right products is crucial to create a comfortable and safe environment for both our customers and furry residents. Here are a few considerations:

Animal Supplies: It is important to ensure that we have an ample supply of pet-friendly furniture, bedding, litter boxes, toys, and feeding stations. These items should be of high quality and designed to prioritize the well-being of the animals.

Food and Beverages: Offering a variety of high-quality coffees, teas, snacks, and pet-friendly treats is essential. We should establish partnerships with local suppliers who prioritize sustainability and natural ingredients to align with our values.

Merchandise: To enhance the customer experience and generate additional revenue, we can explore selling branded merchandise such as mugs, t-shirts, and pet accessories. This not only provides customers with a tangible reminder of their visit but also helps to promote our café.

Generating Resources: To sustain our café with fur babies and support our business operations, we need to develop strategies for generating resources. Here are a few ideas:

Café Services: In addition to offering a comfortable space for customers to relax and enjoy their beverages, we can provide additional services such as pet grooming, training sessions, or hosting pet-themed events. These services can contribute to revenue generation and customer loyalty.

Membership and Subscriptions: Introducing membership packages or subscription plans for frequent visitors can provide a steady income stream. Benefits could include discounted rates, exclusive events, or priority access to booking slots. This fosters a sense of community and encourages repeat visits.

Collaborations: Partnering with local pet-related businesses, such as veterinarians, pet supply stores, or animal shelters, can create cross-promotional opportunities. This collaboration attracts a wider customer base and generates referrals while fostering a sense of unity within the local pet community.

Roles and Responsibilities within the Group: To effectively manage the café operations, it is important to assign roles and responsibilities within our group. Here's a possible division of tasks:

Operations Manager: This individual oversees the day-to-day operations, ensures the café runs smoothly, manages staff, and maintains a safe and welcoming environment for both customers and animals.

Marketing and Promotions: Responsible for developing marketing strategies, managing social media accounts, organizing events, and creating partnerships with local organizations. This role helps in attracting customers and building brand awareness.

Animal Care Specialist: Ensures the well-being and safety of the animals, oversees their feeding, grooming, and health requirements, and conducts proper screening for potential resident fur babies. This role is crucial in maintaining the health and happiness of our furry companions.

Customer Service Representative: Provides excellent customer service, handles reservations, answers inquiries, and assists with customer needs. This role ensures a positive customer experience and helps in building customer loyalty.

Licenses and Permits: Before launching our café with fur babies, we must ensure compliance with local regulations and obtain any necessary licenses or permits. These may include:

Food Service License: It is crucial to ensure that our café meets the health and safety standards required for serving food and beverages. Obtaining a food service license ensures that we adhere to these standards and provide a safe dining experience for our customers.

Animal Care License: If required by local regulations, obtaining the necessary license to house and care for animals on the premises is essential. This ensures that we are compliant with laws related to animal welfare and provides reassurance to our customers regarding the ethical treatment of the animals.

Insurance: Securing appropriate insurance coverage is crucial to protect against any unforeseen incidents or liability related to both the animals and customers. This includes general liability insurance and potentially animal liability insurance to cover any damages or injuries that may occur.

Overall Vision and Tools/Items Needed: To successfully launch our café with fur babies, we need to focus on the following:

Creating a Welcoming Atmosphere: Design the café space with comfortable seating, play areas for the animals, and a relaxed ambiance for customers. This includes ensuring proper ventilation and cleanliness to provide a comfortable environment for everyone.

Staff Training: Ensuring that all staff members are well-trained in animal care, customer service, and health and safety protocols is essential. This includes training on handling animals, hygiene practices, and understanding the needs and behavior of different pets.

Digital Presence: Developing a user-friendly website and establishing a strong presence on social media platforms is crucial to attract customers and provide updates on events and resident fur babies. This includes creating engaging content, sharing cute and heartwarming stories, and actively interacting with the online community.

Reservation and Booking System: Implementing an efficient online reservation and booking system is important to manage customer flow and maintain a manageable number of visitors at any given time. This ensures that both the animals and customers have a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Conclusion: Launching a café with fur babies requires careful planning, attention to detail, and a passion for creating a unique experience for both animal lovers and coffee enthusiasts. By sourcing the right products, generating resources, and obtaining necessary licenses, we can turn our vision into a successful and thriving business. With a well-structured operations plan, supported by dedicated team members, we can bring joy to people's lives while providing a safe and loving environment for our furry companions. So, let's embark on this exciting journey together and make our fur-tastic café a reality!

It's funny, because I almost never use churus with my cats—I go through them a lot, but mostly as an aid to dog training. My cats mostly get dry kibble rewards! (This is because their main food is wet food so the crunch is novel and awesome, so it works very well for them. I'm gonna circle back to cats in a second.)

For me, the appeal is the disposable packaging rather than the mix per se. They're nice because they're a very convenient liquid reward for dogs, which is especially handy in three specific cases: very fat dogs, very small dogs, and dogs with big feelings. Fat dogs are easy enough to understand: a tasty liquid treat provides more reward in a small volume, letting you use more reward without adding more calories. Likewise, small dogs are easy enough to explain: like cats, small dogs have small stomachs, and it's easy to put so much treat in there that their stomachs become full and they no longer consider food interesting.

But I really love it for dogs having big feelings: reactive dogs, frustrated dogs, impulsive dogs, fearful dogs. All dogs that are learning to cope with their big feelings about the world around them and essentially getting activated about it. See, licking (and chewing) is a calming behavior that helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) response, which counters the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) response that comes alongside an adrenaline burst. A dog that swallows a treat whole gets a big hit of dopamine, which hooks into reward, all right—but that doesn't do shit about your autonomic state, and you'll stay almost as activated and vigilant as before. Sustained consumption or, even better yet, enjoyment of a food reward? Now that hedonic experience is going to bring that autonomic state down towards the parasympathetic response: you relax, you take a breath, and you can devote your cognitive resources to thinking instead of just reacting again. That's actually a piece of the dopamine infodump I'm sketching on; we have two totally different neurotransmitter systems and circuits for motivational reward and hedonic reward, and in some ways the two systems negatively regulate one another.)

Those are really the behaviors I see that are most important to most pet owners, anyway: it doesn't matter if Rowdy can hold a sit, as long as he doesn't wheel and start screaming at the dog across the street every time you try to go for a walk. A lot of our basic obedience work is therefore about building strategies for teaching the dog emotional self-regulation (it is a skill!) and helping the dog develop impulse control even in the face of great and terrible temptation; that's a huge piece of why teaching a Stay is so important, for example, even if the dog never uses it in an emergency the whole length of its life. And liquid treats are a huge part of getting us there!

Anyway, liquid treats are awesome. The problem training dogs is that there's not a real good way to use liquid rewards when training in the field that is familiar, requires minimal planning and cognitive effort, easy to carry, not prone to disgusting explosions, affordable, and so on, until the Churu. So they're very easy to direct people to if you're trying to get them to practice using liquid rewards for calming and emotional regulation.

That said, cat people often have less need for liquid treats specifically used as a repeated food reward. Cat training remains less common for cat owners, although its surge in popularity in the last five to ten years has been just phenomenal to watch. Cat owners are also inherently a little less likely to be training on the move or outside the home, too. On the other hand cat people more often need to get water or other liquids into cats that feel icky, give a cat a nice small snack, offer a reward for medical care reasons, and so forth. For all those use cases this recipe is excellent.

However, if you want to use this recipe as a dog trainer or simply just find the packaging of the churu to be the most useful aspect of the product for your purposes, the best way I've personally seen liquid treats delivered is to use a little TSA-approved fillable travel tube or bottle. Get a dozen of them, fill them all up at once, don't get greedy with a lot of filling per tube because you're only going to get through so much in a day and it will go bad. Keep the tubes in the fridge before use.

Dog trainers also often use baby food for this purpose, and I know a lot of people (myself included) who were overjoyed when those twist top pouches became common containers sometime in the last decade. Those and single use packages of xylitol free peanut butter are incredibly useful, too.

This is more or less what it's like to be in one of my obedience classes. The other day I was showing my advanced class my discussion of "Watch Mes" when it occurred to me to explain why I do not count fast flickers of eye movement to other objects and away as a break of eye contact. So I launched into a very condensed explanation of visual saccades and why it's actually not physically possible to hold your gaze in one place past a certain point. If the visual input doesn't change for too long, you actually cease to see anything at all as your neurons get habituated to the inputs, at least until you move and give them some contrast to work with. You have to factor in the physical ability of the mammalian eye when you decide what counts as sustained eye contact!

So. Yeah.

Hey, if your cat happens to love the churu squeezy cat treats, or similar equivalent, I'm here to tell you to just buy gerber ham or turkey baby food instead. It's less expensive and higher quality--it's human food grade--and the baby food is literally just pureed meat in water with cornstarch as a thickener. I use it for kittens that are struggling to maintain weight, and also as a special treat for Malice and Vice.

It shouldn't be a substitue for a good quality cat food, but if your cat is motivated by the churu treats, this is a better option in every regard.

Plus you get tiny glass jars.

Here's both items on amazon--the churu treats are $1.12 an ounce, the baby food is $.56 an ounce. You can probably find both of these in your local big box store, this is just for comparison.

I just cap the jar and stick it in the fridge, they don't get anywhere close to the whole thing in one go.

Edit to note: I say gerber specifically because it's unseasoned. You do NOT want to use a meat baby food that has onion, garlic, or any other kind of seasoning, that's very dangerous for both cats and dogs. Check the ingredients!
