Summary
AStardew Valleyplayer couldn’t believe their luck when their cat brought them exactly what they needed as a gift. The lucky moment has fellowStardew Valleyfans applauding the cat and some expressing surprise that it’s even a possibility.
Stardew Valley’s 1.6 updateintroduced the ability for pets to bring players items once they achieve max bond with them. Getting to max bond can take a while, as the farmer is limited to petting their chosen pet once a day and filling their water bowl as the sole ways of raising their affection. However, it’s well worth it, as players not only get a charming message when they reach full bond, but now with the latest update, it also unlocks the ability for pets to bring gifts to their owners.
Stardew Valleyplayer Halfblooddemon shared their excitement with the community, uploading a screenshot from the game of their farmer receiving a gift from their cat. Their white cat brought them aSturgeon, one of the myriads of fish available in the game. Sturgeon aren’t the absolute most difficultfish to catch inStardew Valley, but it can be tricky to reel them in, and their spawn rate isn’t the highest. Halfblooddemon said they had been struggling to catch a Sturgeon for a long time when their cat suddenly offered them exactly what they needed.
Other players were thrilled for Halfblooddemon, expressing amusement and praise for their cat. Several didn’t know that pets could bring items to their masters as of the latest update, though this may be partially due to the fact thatStardew Valley1.6’s update isn’t available on consolesor mobile yet. Dogs and cats can both bring random goodies to their owners, but it’s not always as lucky for everyone as it was for the OP. One fan, for example, talked about how their cat would only bring them broken CDs and glasses, which are mostly useless outside of materials gained from recycling them.
Gotta Fish ‘Em All
In this situation, the cat’s delivery was particularly helpful because Halfblooddemon was trying tocomplete the Lake Fish Bundle in the Community Center. While fishing is a lucrative activity inStardew Valley, it’s not always easy, and it requires time to build up the skill needed to reel in the bigger and rarer fish. However, the Junimo at the Community Center aren’t particularly picky, and will allow players to turn in fish that are gifted to them by their cat or received from other methods, like the traveling cart or from NPCs likeLinus. Gamers who find themselves in a similar situation should ensure to be friendly with their cat, as it can potentially bring any non-legendary mountain or forest area fish and help complete those bundles.
