	~~==Happiness and Feeding==~~

	~~Each pet has a "happiness" rating that can be revealed by using the Animal Lore skill on it. In order from best to worst, these are:~~
	{\|
	~~\|Wonderfully Happy~~
	\|-
	~~\|Extremely Happy~~
	\|-
	~~\|Very Happy~~
	\|-
	~~\|Rather Happy~~
	\|-
	~~\|Happy~~
	\|-
	~~\|Content~~
	\|-
	~~\|Content, I Suppose~~
	\|-
	~~\|Unhappy~~
	\|-
	~~\|Rather Unhappy~~
	\|-
	~~\|Extremely Unhappy~~
	\|-
	~~\|Confused~~
	\|}
	Over time a pet's happiness level will drop on it's own (much faster if it can't see you). Furthermore, a pet will lose happiness every time it ignores one of your orders - And the more happiness it loses, the more likely it will ignore again. If a pet's happiness drops too low it will return to a wild state.

	On the other hand, every time a pet accepts one of your orders it will gain a small amount of happiness, so a skilled tamer need just about never worry about annoying his or her charges. However, every now and then a pet will ignore a few times in a row and then it's time to bring out the doggy treats.

	Pets do not get hungry and so do not need to be fed on a regular basis, but they do love food and a single piece will typically take them from the depths of despair right back up to the Wonderfully Happy level. Each species has different preferences, which again can be revealed via the Animal Lore skill.

	To feed a pet, just drag and drop a food item onto it. One unit will have the same effect as many. Note that this will cause the pet to stop whatever it was doing so you may need to give it a fresh order afterwards.

	~~Note that some pets will take "food" they don't "prefer". For example, a White Wyrm finds gold just as acceptable as meat.~~

	In order to bond with a pet you must feed it one real world week after the first time you fed it. Bonding allows you to keep your pet even if it dies, and also allows for easier transportation with the Recall spell. Some creatures (such as the Skittering Hopper) don't accept food at all, meaning they cannot be bonded.

	Unskilled tamers will often have pets ignore them, and hence will often need to produce food. You might consider carrying several single bits of food in your pack so that you don't need to divide a pile in the heat of combat. The Create Food spell is of great use to tamers.
