I have been looking around on how to get food for your familiar. I heard on one site that you kill things for food. Can anyone help me cause she (I just call it a she, my cat) keeps saying stuff like "food would be nice." and "Well I'd sorta like some food, maybe some pie!" Can you even buy pie? HELP ME!

Im pretty sure that if you talk to her, you have the option to feed 'her'. Other then that im not sure what could be used for food, as I have played the game through and have not encountered anything like food... Hope that helps.

Yes, neither your characters nor your familiar need to eat in the game.

I've assumed that when your familiar asks for food, you happen to give her some of yours and the game just does not mention you having to eat (rather than you not actually needing food).

then why will she not stop asking for it?

Doesn't one of the loading screens say something like:

"Although your character doesn't have to eat, YOU do. We don't want to loose any dedicated players"

She has formatted texts... and unfortunatelly familiars dont have a lot of lines, so they are really boring to talk to. Just ignore it, give her food when she is wounded for healing, and keep her in your backpack when you fear from her life.

Nah, just keep her in your backpack all the time. It really sucks if your familiar dies in an ambush.

Chekara, think that food you will always have with you no matter where you are and no matter what you do. When you may feed him (aka he is injured) you'll receive the aditional conversation line, and ats all.

You dont need to buy breads or grapes as in Ultima IX, for example.

It's certainly better than in Ultima VII, where Richard Garriott (to make the game more realistic) had each of your team members whine for food every single day. They didn't need it (though it would heal wounds), but they'd demand it. And it didn't matter if you'd purchased it, yourself: you had to distribute it to every other person in your party, too.
