RE: Send in world food to the cattery & Trade food.
Transferring food, milk or other consumables to and from the Cattery would be a very nice feature.
The primary issue I see with implementing it would be handling partially consumed food and milk. It's certainly possible, but might be overlooked and the possibility of error greatly increases the risk of abuse. So, my feeling is, at least initially, only new bowls (not just showing 100%, but completely unused) should be transferred. Even this, though, might unnecessarily increase complains and support work-load since, even in the few seconds between rezzing a bowl and sending it to the Cattery, it is possible for a cat to consume a bit, either causing a failure, or losing the fact that a kibble/lick was consumed.
Transferring food and other consumables to other avatars has, with other breedable products, been a major cause of abuse and fraud. KittyCatS chose, way back when, to prevent those problems by making consumables non-transfer. While it would certainly be nice to have the ability, I see no way to offer the feature while also preventing the rampant fraud we saw with those other breedables and, therefore, see no reason KittyCatS should change there policy on this.
