Cat Treats are small packaged snacks made for pets. A survivor can still eat them when the shelves run bare. They weigh only 0.1, so a bag of them is easy to carry.
The treats fill very little and make the eater unhappy. They are best kept as an emergency snack for hard times. They stay fresh for about a year, which makes them one of the longest lasting foods in a closet. They turn up in house closets, attics and pet stores. The Chef is the best occupation for ingredients. It starts with the most Cooking skill. The Burger Flipper also starts with some Cooking skill.
Eating
One bag of Cat Treats lowers hunger by 5. It holds 70 calories, with 12 grams of carbohydrates, 6 grams of fat and 1 gram of protein. That is a small amount of energy for a single item.
The real cost is morale. Eating the treats adds 20 unhappiness, so a character feels noticeably worse afterwards. A survivor who is already sad or depressed should eat something else first.
The treats are a last resort snack. They work best when they are eaten alongside food that cheers the character up. A slice of Cheese Cake, for example, lowers unhappiness by 10 and makes up for half the gloom.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.
