Do the cats’ “fighting strength” mean anything?
I’m not 100% sure about this, but I heard that a stronger cat will push a weaker cat out of the way if it wants to play with the same item.
How do I get rare cats to visit my garden?
Many cats will be more likely to come if there are specific items out. Rare cats will only come when one or two specific items are out. You can view what I have here for more details, but here’s the list of rare cats and the items that attract them:
Tatejima-san: Baseball
Nagagutsu-san: Mr. Mouse
Prince-san: High quality cushion
Nabeneko-san: Earthen pot
Nekomata-san: Chirimen zabuton, kotatsu
Koikoi-san: Deluxe house
Yamaneko-san: Athletic Tower EX
Ekichou-san: Here-and-there rail
Manzoku-san: Any food that isn’t value crisps
Osamurai-san: Sakura zabuton, high quality log
Amesho-san: High quality hammock
Bistro-san: Stove, glass flower vase
Maromayu-san: Mari ball
Sphinx-san: Pyramid tent
Cafe-san: Deluxe cafe
If you have higher quality food out that’s not the default food, more cats (and rare cats!) will be more likely to visit.
If you have a special item out but a rare cat hasn’t visited yet, just be patient!
How do I buy items?
When you collect enough sardines (the currency in this game), you can click on “shopping” in the menu. You can’t buy non-food items more than once, so those items will be marked with “買” so that you don’t have to worry about having doubles.
You can also exchange gold fish for normal fish or vice versa if you need to.
