Why is it that when you leave food out it turns cold but when you leave drinks out it turns hot?
Usually, food is heated to a temperature hotter than the temperature of a room, about 160F. and drinks are usually much cooler than room temperature around 45F or less. So both hot food and cold drinks will eventually equal the temperature of the space or room they are left in.

There are food safety issues with thawing at room temperature and it is not recommended. If it is in a sealed package, it could be quick-thawed under cool running water - then immediately cooked. Or it could be thawed in the microwave - and immediately cooked. Or it could be cooked from frozen. Should you choose to thaw by any means other than in the fridge, it should be cooked immediately upon thawing and not stored for cooking later.
Why did cat prefer their food at room temperature?
The natural diet of cats is meat. Cats are meat eaters, designed to thrive on a wide variety of small prey animals, eaten fresh and whole. Their natural diet is high in water and protein, with a moderate amount of fat, and a very low percentage of carbohydrate. Cats generally prefer their food between room temperature and body temperature. The dry food cats are used to eating is designed to be very smelly. Warming the food releases the flavors and fragrances. Cats choose food by smell, and wet food is a lot less fragrant than a commercial food they have been eating. This is often the reason that the second half of a can of food is refused: The first time it was room temperature!
