Do you still persevere in refilling your pet's bowl in late game?

IRL cat knows the water in her cat bowl is the lowest form of dampness, not fit even to bathe in. Absolutely any other source of wet is far superior to the lowly water container we provide out of the goodness of our hearts. Even the gallon pail used to catch cold water before a shower which goes to the plants is more desirable than that loathsome shiny metallic container labeled 'Cat'.

It is plenty clear that cat bowls are there for decorative purposes only, tolerated by the cat only because the hairless apes manage to provide meager sustenance to that other bowl next to it. So no, my in-game cat is more than happy to drink water from absolutely everything else on the farm before stooping to even consider a glance at the:

"cat" bowl.

I have a similar cat in my real life.
She was a homeless cat found in autumn in 2017.
I brought her home and gave her best cat food.
I named her Amelie.
(The name is from a French movie "Amelie".)

At the beginning, she didn't like to drink water and looked languid in daytime.
We bought a green pottery bowl.
My mom was worried about Amelie's health.
My mom bought a smart bowl which can spout water and the water in this bowl flows incessantly.

Finally she likes drinking water and be happy every day.

That is why I care about the bowl for water so much!
Although it is a game and the cat won't be mad at you technically.

I do keep watering and petting just because it's fun for me. But if you don't enjoy it, you don't have to! Your pets will never be mad at you, only barn & coop animals get grumpy if they don't have anything to eat, or if the get locked out overnight.

Yes, fortunately my cat isn't that grumpy like George even if I don't refill her bowl.
She is so sweet.

Well, Marnie does not in fact fill the dog’s bowl. I’m just saying you can handwave it and pretend she does.

hahaha to tell the truth, I thought about if she can fill the bowl for me.
I can pay for it.
In the meantime, she can get paid.
That would be a win-win trade.
At least I am wealthy in the game. :laugh:
She gets money and I save time !

Seriously. I sometimes wish we could hire Kent or a few others who need something to do. When you start seriously raking in the cash you could easily be town benefactor and offer quite generous salaries.

But i get the whole small-town family feel Concerned Ape wants, and maybe that would be a bit too close to us Becoming Joja.

Yes, you are spot-on.
The town should not be the paradise of capitalist.
This is not the initial concept for developer to make this game.
Otherwise, what is the difference between player and villain like the owner of Joja market?
The place is full of warmth and villagers help with each other not consider benefit.
It is a Utopia-like world.

If we can pay for everything, relationships with villagers mean nothing.

Nevertheless, we can take advantage of cutting-edge machines to mitigate our workload.

Autopetter is a good example, despite of non-existence in real world.

I still don't do it, as my farm has a pond and a lake so my animals can go get a drink whenever they want to. Barn/coop animals have figured it out, so my cat/dog can too!

Your pet won't die, but maybe it wants to know that you care enough to take a few minutes out of your day to make it a little more accessible, and possibly more clean if you don't know where the afore mentioned Barn/coop animals' waste is going...

Not going to lie, never have given my pets water.
They love me a lot, of course there's the occasional time that Abigail will do it for me.

But yeah, they all love me, still give me gifts, never grumpy at me.
I don't think it really matters 🤷‍♂️

And I swear if I get a response from some rando saying
"yOuR mEAn tO YoUR pEts, yOu nEed To tReAt thEm bEtTer"
Then I will ignore you, it's a video game get real.

Warmest Regards,

My farmer shows care by instilling self-reliance in all animals. A free range, independent pet is a happy pet!

Give your pet a drink, you quench their thirst for a day.
Teach your pet to find their own drink, you quench their thirst for a lifetime. 😉👍
