The Purrfect Guide: Unveiling the Secrets to Welcoming a Feline Friend in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life

Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life is a unique take on the beloved original Harvest Moon game. Players will assume the role of a farmer in the vibrant community of Forgotten Valley, where they will cultivate crops and raise animals. Alongside traditional livestock such as cows and horses, players will also have the opportunity to own smaller, domesticated animals like cats. Although owning a cat does not provide any financial benefits, players can acquire one for their own enjoyment as a pet.

In the northwest area of the village, specifically at Romana's Villa, several cats can be found. However, players will only have a single opportunity to obtain a cat in A Wonderful Life. This event is not triggered by any specific actions and occurs unexpectedly, without much warning. To assist players in obtaining their feline companion, this guide provides all the necessary information about acquiring a cat in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life.

How to Get a Cat in A Wonderful Life

The gameplay in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life revolves around farming and forming relationships. Throughout their time in the village, players have the opportunity to collect and bond with various animals. Similar to the non-player characters (NPCs), interacting with these animals can increase relationship levels and sometimes result in better quality products or unique interactions.

In Year Two, players have the chance to obtain a free Cat from Romana. Romana, a character returning from the original Harvest Moon, resides in the luxurious mansion known as The Villa. Alongside her butler Sebastian and niece Lumina, Romana is the oldest resident in Forgotten Valley. She leads a peaceful life in The Villa, surrounded by her several feline companions.

In Year Two's early Autumn, specifically on the second or third day, players will have a special visit from Romana. To initiate the cutscene, players need to be indoors on their farmhouse during daylight hours. Romana will approach them, accompanied by a stray black cat she recently stumbled upon. Since she can't keep the feline herself, she offers players the opportunity to adopt and raise it on their farm. It's important to note that declining this proposition means missing out on the chance to have a Cat on the farm in the future.

While players are able to customize the appearance of their Dog, there is no corresponding option available for the Cat. The only choice players have regarding their feline companion is to give it a name. Additionally, there are limited opportunities for special interactions with the Cat beyond picking it up and introducing it to others. Similar to real-life Cats, it primarily spends its time lazing around the farm and taking naps. Nevertheless, it is an absolutely adorable addition to the farm.

Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life is available now on PC, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X/S.
