I’m not sure exactly when but in the last couple of days (I’ve played through almost a seasons worth in that time) I noticed all my pets were gone and removed from my list! I’m pretty sure it was some point after the most recent patch. I had 3 including my starter pet and I’m towards the end of fall year 3. I’ve been doing co-op through split screen on the switch but the second person has been in the whole game, not added recently. I’ve stayed at the island farm a couple days in a row before sometime during this period but definitely not long enough to make my starter cat hate me 😭 I know i can just buy more but I miss them. Is there any way to get them back? I’m on nintendo switch so I cant go back on any save files.

Had this happen to me with my starter pet on Switch split-screen multiplayer. It disappeared towards the end of Summer on our first year. Searched our whole farm looking for it and I checked the animal screen and it wasn’t there :( thankfully, we haven’t lost any of our other animals. Haven’t found anything on getting them back, seems like it happens to a lot of people using multiplayer.

My husband and I are doing local co-op split screen on the switch and also just lost our cat! The game just updated the other day, too, so I’m not sure what to do…

I'm here for this problem too!!! My situation is almost exactly the same. Playing on the switch. Co-op. Year two, summer. Water dish stays full, but no kitty! 😥😔 It was even giving us fish!

Playing in the most updated version on switch, co-op with gf, she couldn’t find pets one day when we loaded in but it was raining so thought nothing of it, next day the bowls are still full, no pets. All at max hearts, we were quite attached, lots of money and time invested, now disappeared. Spoiler warning: I think if the witch’s hut has a place to remove kids, it should also give me a way to get them back, and also have a similar function with pets so this sorta stuff isn’t such a hindrance.

Also had this happen on switch co-op split screen. It also happened over a night after rain and the pet bowls have stayed full. We were on year 4. Bought new pets and now they stay in the house all the time? The bowls are still full and sometimes the cat is sad saying that it has no water.

This has also happened to my wife and I! We are in year two and four. We got new pets and were forced to get new bowls, don't feel like getting new pets again

My wife and I have been playing split screen co-op and are in fall of year 2. We have not moved any buildings on the farm around recently. We did just put a hat on our dog as well as unlock Ginger Island. Our dog also disappeared following a stormy day leading into a rainy day.

I’m also experiencing the same problem! My partner and I are playing split screen co-op, non-modded, ver. 1.6.15.3, and our starter cat has disappeared from our farm completely. She isn’t in our list of pets or anywhere on the farm, and her water bowl stays constantly full. We had a busy Stardew week so we’ve been struggling to recall exactly which day she went missing but it was either around unlocking Fern island or the final 100k house upgrade.

From all the reading I’ve done this seems to be something a lot of people playing co-op on switch experience, and have been having issues with for quite a while now. Hopefully a patch for this comes out because I’d really like my starter cat back :( I’m also afraid to buy more pets because I read a few threads where people bought new pets and then those ones immediately went missing too! I really hope they decide to fix this issue, and honestly just generally fix up the switch version because it’s riddled with issues and fully crashes almost every time I play it.

You’re not the only one who has had this problem. Me and my friend only recently started the game yesterday and realised halfway through summer that our first cat from marnie had just disappeared. Her water bowl is filled up and the pet is just no where to be seen. I rlly hope they fix the bug soon.

Same thing happened to me – pet cat given at the start of the game disappeared around the start of summer year 2. I play local co-op with one additional player (we have played together since the start of the farm). The cat (had full-hearts) is gone from both the farm and the list of animals. No other farm animals have disappeared (we don’t have any other pets). I have tried to move the water bowl, and it moves but the cat does not return. I have also tried to change the water bowl style at Robin’s house (wood vs stone vs hay) and this change is not reflected on the farm (no error message is given, the water bowl just stays the same style. Perhaps this is a related bug).
