How to increase your bond with a cat in Heartopia
When it comes to daily care, feeding your cat is a priority. If your cat is hungry, you won't be able to play with it or interact with it much. You can buy cat food from Mrs. Joanand in our experience cats can also be fed fish.
Besides feeding, there are several other ways to spend time with your cat. You can pet him, play with him, clean him up when he gets dirty, or take him outside. Doing these things increases your bond level and sometimes your cat can even bring you small gifts. At first, cuddling is the only interaction available. Keep doing this and more activities will be unlocked over time.
As you spend more time with your cat, it will grow and unlock new positions. You can check all these using open your smartwatch and go to the Pets tab. This page displays a complete profile of your cat, including its hunger, energy, traits and mood history. You can also rename your cat from here if you want.
As you earn more Cat Caring skill points, you'll unlock additional perks for the hobby. These include new accessories, the ability to adopt multiple cats, and even an automatic feeder for your cats.
