How do you personally keep cat food fresh?

For wet food, I cover the can with wax paper then secure it with a rubber band before I put it in the fridge. For the dry, I use to keep the bag closed with a rubber band until I got cat litter in a bottle. When the bottle was empty, I cleaned it out properly and now keep the dry food inside. The added benefit was one less bottle in the garbage. So what are your tips?

I find it remarkable that a dog or a cat can live a long healthy life by eating only one thing their whole lives. My cats eat nothing but Purina Indoor Formula dry cat food. Theyve been doing it for years, and they seem healthy and happy. Apparently, this one food has everything they need. Why isnt there something like that for people--an all purpose food? It seems like it would be the perfect thing for college students and other people who live in financial dire straights because you could make it really cheap. Maybe you could even have it in different flavors for the sake of variety.

My cat has a very bad and neurotic habbit of scratching spots on his body until they become raw and bleeding. Usually its behind his neck, or in front of his ear.
