I got a big air-tight container and I open the bag and pour the whole bag straight in there.

It makes a massive difference in smell alone. The cat doesn't get excited over new bags anymore. I really recommend it.

If the container is big enough, consider putting the whole bag in there. It keeps it protected from light (if it's a translucent container) and keeps it even more compact so there's less airspace around it.

Oh, mine is a heavy, thick, completely opaque container. Good points! I should've made them.

(It's specifically for dog food, but I use it for cat food, and it has a screw on lid.)

I agree. The bags we get are now resealable and it makes a huge difference.
