Food bowl

Food bowls are objects present in The Sims: Unleashed, The Sims 2: Pets, and The Sims 3: Pets. Food bowls are used to fulfill the hunger motive of cats and dogs. It can only be used by a pet if a Sim has filled the food bowl. Filling the food bowl costs §10.

The Sims: Unleashed
In The Sims: Unleashed, food bowls are double bowls, and two pets can eat out of one at the same time. Also, food bowls do not need to be cleaned in Unleashed.

Annapurna Pet Feeder
In a monastery at the base of Annapurna in Nepal, monks are working day and night to produce dishes which are fit to be used as fingerbowls for the Dalai Lama. Bowls deemed "slightly irregular" have instead been used to feed the monastery's many animal friends. These bowls have finally made their way to you, the discerning pet owner. Treat your pet to a banquet in Nirvana each time you feed them. The patience, compassion, and tolerance of the monks who craft these bowls will find its way into your house when you bring home a piece of Annapurna.

The Sims 2: Pets
In The Sims 2: Pets, food bowls will occasionally need to be cleaned. Cleaning a food bowl will empty it, but the "Clean" interaction will appear well before the bowl will become so dirty that pets avoid it, so it is enough to clean the bowl before filling it. How often a bowl will need to be cleaned depends on the cleanliness of the pets who use it and the neatness of the Sims who fill it. An extremely Neat Sim with a Finicky pet may be able to fill a bowl several times before it will need cleaning. If any pets on the lot have learned the Come Here command, the "Call to Eat..." interaction will appear when clicking on a bowl that has food in it.

Toddlers can eat from food bowls.
