How long can I safely leave wet cat food out for my cat to eat?

Question

How long should you keep canned food out for your cat to eat it all up. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 2 years and 7 months old | 9 lbs

Give your kitty about 1.5 oz of canned cat food at a time (twice daily and refrigerate the rest of the can. Warm up the food when it comes out of the fridge. Do not leave dry food out for the cat to feed on all day. This way the cat is hungry when you feed her and will finish her food timely before it spoils. Put out fresh food at every feed as cats will not eat wet food if it starts to smell funny (happens within a few hours). Some cats will eat a bit right away, then come back to it 1/2 hr later to finish the meal. So, feed less more often and there will not be any left overs, If your kitty does not eat a particular flavor, then she may not find it appetizing and you need to find another flavor she likes. Cats are that way. They need food to taste good to them or they will not eat it,
