Consider using the SubetaLodge site I'd linked earlier, it is pretty comprehensive for all items.
When you say 'abilities', I know there are similar sites with such features, but we don't really have those per se.
If your interest is with battling, then Intelligence/Stats are more important - there are a bunch of great guides in the Battle forums linked in the stickies, as well as a chat thread where you can ask for advise from other more experienced battlers.
Foods eaten/Books read are kept track (you can find this info on your Pets page, next to the dropdown for each pet). Toys played do not keep track, though if you just want your pet to maintain happiness, a minion will usually do the trick.
If there is anything particularly confusing for you regarding what sort of items can be done with pets, if you give some examples, perhaps it would help us clarify a bit more for you? :)
Hope that helps :)

That's what I meant about using SubetaLodge, which I had linked to you.
So you can search the toothbrush item, let's take Blue Toothbrush as an example:
Type(s): Specifies the interactions you can do, eg. Toy, Book, etc. As there is no 'Groom' option available on Subeta, there is nothing you can do to your pet with this item.
The available interactions (with pets) on Subeta are play for toys, read for books, give for minions, use for magic items (eg. elixirs for pet color/species changing, gender changing, stat boosters, etc.) and feed for foods. Hopefully I haven't missed anything out :)
Does that help explain it a little? Items such as grooming are more often wearable for the wardrobe (but not all grooming items are wearable!). The grooming/furniture items generally have less actual uses - they tend to be more a collection thing :)
