YANI: Pet food in tins

Seems to me some tins should contain dog/ cat food- essentially tinned
tripe rations. Not sure how to give the food to the pet though, since
saying "no" when prompted to eat the contents of an open tin normally
discards it.

This feature would tie in well with the "tin opener=whistle" patch,
wherever that might be.

Well, in my household, it doesn't have to be opened. Just the sound
using the can opener alone can teleport my 3 cats into the kitchen.

Maybe tin opener should work only on high tameness pets (say, 15+), but
when you don't feed them immediately, they'd lose the tameness?

Opening the tin should work like a magic whistle, teleporting the pet
to you. If you have a pet at home you should know this happens in real
life too. The player then gets offered to give the tin to their pet,
and if they refuse something truly horrible should happen.
