Dry Cat Food is a bag of pet food kibble. It must be used in a recipe to be eaten. It goes into a stew, where it becomes a real meal in hard times.
The bag holds a lot of food. It lowers hunger by 60 in total, but it weighs 2.0 and makes the character unhappier. It keeps for about a year before it starts to turn. Bags are found in closets, pet stores, attics and garages. 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
Dry Cat Food is eaten as part of a Stew. Once in the pot, it fills like any other stew ingredient.
The whole bag lowers hunger by 60 and raises unhappiness by 20. That mood cost makes it a fallback food rather than a first choice.
Dry Dog Food has exactly the same figures. Either bag serves the same purpose when other food runs short.
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.
