===Animal Food===
# Animal food isn’t muktzeh if the animals common in that place would eat it. Animals that only rich people own as pets doesn’t make food that they eat to be non-muktzeh.<ref>Gemara Shabbat 128a, Rambam Shabbat 26:16, Shulchan Aruch O.C. 308:29</ref>
# If there are animals common in another place nearby neighborhood some poskim say that it makes it non-muktzeh for the nearby area<ref>Chazon Ovadia v. 3 p. 23</ref>, while others hold it depends on your neighborhood where you would walk.<ref>Or Letzion v. 2 p. 216 writes that it depends on where you would walk but not from one end of the city of a city to the other.</ref>
# We only consider animals which are common in that place and it doesn’t matter what’s common in the world.<ref>Shalmei Yonatan Muktzeh v. 1 p. 241 writes you need it to be common in that place and not just in the world. This might depend on the ran and rosh as the Pri Megadim 308:55 writes. However, the Drisha 308:12 cites the Rosh in full and it is evident that there’s no dispute. Either way, the Ran is codified by Shulchan Aruch 308:29 that you need matzuy in your place.</ref>
# Some say that we only consider pets<ref>Shalmei Yehuda p. 111 cites Rav Elyashiv holding this opinion since it is forbidden to fed animals which aren’t pets besides for dogs. Tehilah Ldovid and Chut Shani cited by Dirshu.</ref> and others argue that we consider any animal that is common in that town even non-pets.<ref>Shalmei Yehuda p. 333 n. 33 cites a letter from Rav Pinchas Sheinberg that it doesn’t depend on only pets. His proof is that the poskim didn’t specify only pets but rather wrote any common animal. Also, it is sometimes permitted to feed non-pets if they rely on you for sustenance like ownerless dogs (Magen Avraham 324:7). Rav Yakov Yisrael Fisher (Meor Hashabbat v. 1 p. 547, cited by Chazon Ovadia) writes that animal food isn’t muktzeh if animals of that area would eat it even if it is forbidden to feed the animals which aren’t pets. Chazon Ovadia v. 3 p. 24 agrees.</ref>
===Leftover Foods===
# If a person is eating fruit or nuts and has spits or shells in his mouth that aren’t edible to humans or people some poskim hold that one should spit it out on the plate, while others hold that one can use one’s hands to take the pits and place them on the plate.<ref>Gemara Shabbat 143a cites several alternatives of how to get rid of seeds and pits while one is eating fruits. Rav Sheshet used to spit them out to a place of garbage and it isn’t clear if the others did the same or not. See Meyuchas Lran 143a s.v. hani who implies that it is permitted to place it down after eating. Shemirat Shabbat Kehilchata 20:26 rules that it is permitted to take the muktzeh pits or shells from one’s mouth and place them on the plate. Orchot Shabbat v. 2 p. 82 explains that the reason is that the pits or seeds aren’t muktzeh since they are nullified by the food. Furthermore, to place it on the plate and not to drop it immediately it is relevant to the discussion of the Magen Avraham 266:12 and Even Haozer 266. However, Orchot Shabbat cites many including Tehilah Ldovid, Aruch Moshe, Igrot Moshe, and Chazon Ish held that you can’t take the muktzeh in your hands, rather you have to spit it out. This is also implied by Magen Avraham 308:50 and Mishna Brurah 308:124. Rav Shlomo Zalman is quoted in contradictory ways.</ref>
