Small Pets can die of starvation, but Cats and Dogs can only die of old age?

To be fair, given how glitchy/spotty AI can be and we can't control cats/dogs and they're a lot harder to predict...I think it's probably a good thing they can't starve cause otherwise they could easily starve themselves to death, even if food is present.

The lack of reaction of small pet death is disappointing, though.
