 * sleeping with all values with over 50% full heals the pet if it has lost health
 * add pooping and cleaning function
 * let it get sick if it's health is low, by random chance or if there's too much poop
-* decrease the hunger value after x seconds
 * add sleep function, you have to switch the lights off otherwise it will have nightmare and loose one health point.
 * add the possibility to get sick. Maybe compare two random numbers.
 * add a function to restart the game or exit it after the pet died.
