For each animal there are five ways of gaining relationship with them. Select what kind of attention to give them and have fun with your new animal pal!
Bond[edit]
No animal can resist being stroked. Use the stylus to pet the animal in places they like, and you will get a heart. If you keep petting them, you will get two hearts. The animal will change position every once in a while if it wants to be stroked somewhere else. If an animal doesn't like being stroked somewhere, it will shake its head.
Meal[edit]
If the animals are hungry, you can feed them. When you click on this icon and the words 'give them a starter' come up, you will be able to feed them. Select a food to give them for a starter, main course and desert. If an animal was full, 'give them a starter' will not come up and the animal will walk off. There is a chance that the animal won't like the food you give them. If they don't like it, they won't eat it and you'll have to give them something else.
Walk[edit]
It may sound strange taking a hamster or a chipmunk for a walk, but it's not the kind of walk you go on when you would walk a dog. Your animal will be in a large area, and using the stylus you can guide them around. They will follow the stylus, either walking or running. Once you have started them off, you can keep guiding them or just watch them run around on their own. If the animal didn't want to have a walk, it will walk off at the beginning. When you think they've had enough excersise to gain you a heart, touch the whistle icon to call them back.
Brush[edit]
Use the stylus as a brush to clean the animal. If the animal was already clean (this happens more with cleaner animals, such as cats) it will walk off. As you brush them, old fur will come off. When you've brushed them for a period of time, you will get a heart.
Bath[edit]
This option is only available for dogs (since other animals wouldn't like being bathed). The stylus will be a shower hose and you can move it around the animals body to wash them. They may walk off and your cousin will say that the water is 'too cold', which you cannot change, as you cannot alter the temperature of the water. When you have bathed them for a certain amount of time, you will get a heart.
Toys[edit]
Other animals which wouldn't let you bathe them like playing with toys instead. Use your stylus to move the teaser around the screen and if your animal is in a good mood, it will bat the teaser with its paw. If not, it will walk off. When it has batted the teaser five or so times, you will get a heart.
