Food mystery

[LibGwen Resident]

The fact that your food bowl hasn't been eaten from at all is a bit strange. Perhaps the bowl range is set for "Range" and your cat's range doesn't overlap it? Or maybe it's broken and hasn't been feeding your cat at all. Or maybe you do have a magic food bowl as said above!

I don't believe there is a way to prevent a cat eating from a food bowl that is set to "Anyone" and "Sim". Setting an "Anyone" bowl to "Parcel" or ideally "Range" would at least limit which cats mooch from it.

When setting down a food bowl, the important part is "My cats" if you're not sharing with other avatars. If you can do "My cats", you don't have to worry about whether the range is "Sim", "Parcel", or "Range", it will only feed cats belonging to the avatar that rezzed the bowl.

If you are sharing with other avatars, it's best for the cats (and food) to be in the same group so you limit which cats *could* eat from the bowls. Again, the range choice doesn't matter.

Generally, a person would only want to use the "Anyone" setting if they were feeding a cat belonging to another person and could not join the group the cat was in for some reason. For example, helping out a friend whose computer was broken for a few weeks.
