Are the plastic lids used to close cat food cans the same size as standard cans?

I would like to be able to store opened food cans for a few days. Are the\ plastic lids for cat food cans the same size? Have you ever seen lids available that are not specifically for cat food?

When you open a can of food and youre not going to use all the food right away, empty the food into a bowl, or other container, and put it in the fridge. Dont store food in an opened tin can, or re-use empty cans to cook or store food. This is because when a can has been opened and the food is open to the air, the tin from the can might transfer more quickly to the cans contents. This advice doesnt apply to foods sold in cans that have resealable lids, such as golden syrup and cocoa, because these types of food don’t react with the can. This being said, the plastic lids that I use for my cat food do not fit a regular (14 - 15 oz) can of food. But sometimes you can find cat food in that size, so it is possible that there are some pet food lids that would fit a regular size food can. If you still want to do this, the next time you go shopping, just pick up some plastic lids, and before you go to the check out, go down the canned good aisle and hold them up to one of the cans. You can probably tell from looking whether or not its going to fit.

Yes. We use them for our cats food. He only eat half a can at a time.
