Not sure where to post this, but I'd like to voice my opinion. Whenever in games there is a cat, the developers show giving a domestic cat raw fish, milk or other weird things. Anyone who owns a cat knows they won't eat raw fish and milk can cause diarehia.sp? You can always tell when they don't have a pet cat!

My cat's vet says you should never give milk to cat because there are other things that upset their stomachs and if you gave them milk then he can't discount lactose intolerance, but if you don't give them milk and their sick he can at least discount that.
I used to have a cat that liked yogurt. My current furiend does not.

My dogs won't be enticed with food if you are an intruder! No one passes without an invite!

Some great links! Our cats are rationed with Whiskas catmilk (another marketing triumph), and are pampered daily with cooked fish which pretty much has to be frozen cod from Marks and Spencer (i.e. posh fish): interestingly, they will sometimes eat other cooked meat and fish which they would not otherwise touch if it is part of one of our (human) meals. On the gaming front, I think that any animal which is hungry enough can probably be distracted by food so this is plausible for stray or wild animals but not so much domestic ones and especially trained guard dogs (although some of those are probably kept hungry to improve their edge): it is also plausible for a cat (hussies that they are) to offer at least token friendship to a total stranger in return for food'n'fuss - I think that dogs are probably generally a little harder to win over!
