When you buy a new cat food and your cat loves it so much you know you need to buy it in bulk, the thought of where to put it all might pop into your mind. It’s, for this reason, I decided to whip up a quick space-saving DIY cat food storage hanger. Using an old t-shirt, a hair tie, and a sewing machine, this project took under 30 minutes. We now have a super happy cat without sacrificing sacred cabinet space in the kitchen.

5 Reasons We Love Simple Servings:

  • No leftovers. If Stewie doesn’t finish all his food we either have to refrigerate it–and he seems to despise eating it cold–or throw it away. With these Simple Servings, he cleans the plate every time.
  • Easy-to-open and easy-to-serve cup. No fork or spoon required. Which means less dishes being left to sit all night.

DIY Cat Food Storage Hanger

Since mess-free is the general theme here, this DIY cat food storage hanger makes perfect sense. We typically dedicate half a shelf in a cabinet to just Stewie’s food. It’s important he, and all cats, get wet food every day. When his vet noticed he is prone to kidney issues, I was told to make sure he gets wet food once or twice a day. It’s imperative cats get as much water as possible from their food since they’re not naturally heavy drinkers.

In an effort to reclaim a bit of kitchen space, we created this cat food storage hangers using:

10.5″ x 14″ piece of an old t-shirt (jersey knit for optimal stretch)
1 hair tie
pretty ribbon
sewing machine

Watch this quick instruction video:

Instructions:

  1. Cut your fabric to measure 10.5″ x 14″.
  2. Fold over half an inch on each 10.5″ side and sew a seam to form a tube-like opening on either side.
  3. Cut a hair tie in half and fish through the tube at one end. (Use this safety pin technique for how to fix a drawstring. On the other end, fish a ribbon through.
  4. Tie both ends to form a tube.
  5. Folding in half long ways–right sides together–pin the long edges together and sew shut.
  6. Turn the whole thing right side out and you can now fill it with your Meow Mix Simple Servings.
  7. Use the ribbon at the top and tie to a hook wherever convenient in your kitchen.

I buy cat food (wet) all the time of course but especially when it is on sale. I like the idea of these hangers. The last batch I bought 70 cans as I feed 2 inside and one outside cat wet food daily. And what is it with cats and cold food? I think they can tell when its been opened because if you even let it get to room temp or warm it for them, they like still know!

Such a smart DIY project! I have cat food stacked in my pantry and they always fall over. I'll have to show my daughter, I'm sure she'd love to make this.

we don't use wet foods at this point with either pet but this will come in handy as they get older and need it. Thanks for the tutorial.

Perfect timing we just started feeding our cat wet food, so love this idea and it's something we can make ourselves.
