A week in the fridge! Re-heat thoroughly. No ill effects.

Sometimes four days if it's been refrigerated. Usually I freeze things after two days though as I get bored eating the same thing for any longer

Four?!

After four days, I am pretty sure some of my food would not even look good.

Don't waste the food you have wrongly given to the cat.
Eat the cat.

I have always used a two day rule[not with fish].
My own daughter, recently. says she always uses the 3 day rule.

I thought I would try it last night.
There was a leftover perfectly loooking good, 2 1/2 day old sausage in the fridge.
I heated it up and ate it.
No ill effects at all this morning.

I am now thinking of all the food that I have given to the cat over the years that may have been perfectly fine to eat myself.

How many days do others use?
