Petling care

Tap the paw button on your home screen. A red number on it counts the petlings at home that need something (and any that ran away). The book's Home page lists today's to-dos (“Feed Mochi”, “Wash Mochi”…) until “Everyone is happy! Come back later.”

Each petling's page shows its mood (Happy, Hungry, Starving!, Needs a wash, Filthy, Sleeping…), three need meters (clean, rest, food) and what changes next, like “Hungry again in 3h”. From there you can Feed, Wash, Play, go for a Walk, open the Training park or Dress up.

50+hunger: Starving! (no training)

Drop food on a petling in a room, or use Feed in the book. A meal gives +3 Bond (+5 for the food it craves), wakes a sleeping petling and gives it energy.

Cravings

Every petling loves one of the five fruits above. Once it's hungry its bubble shows that fruit, and its page says “Loves Pineapple (extra filling!)”. The craving changes after you feed it, or after a day. Fish, bones and the food bag are never cravings.

Automatic Feeder and Waterer

The and (1,500 coins each) hold 4 servings. A hungry petling that's out takes a 20-hunger meal from the feeder by itself (no Bond), and the waterer gives +15 energy. Refill them with a or a .

A petling gets one dirt spot (a fly) every 6 hours, up to 4. Dirt never makes it run away, but at 3 spots it looks sad and asks for soap.

• Rub a (80 coins) or (150) on it: each scrub takes off one spot. They are never used up.
• Drop a (250) on it to clean every spot at once (the bottle is used up).
• The book's Wash button uses your soap or brush first, then shampoo.

A finished bath gives +4 Bond once the last spot is gone, however many scrubs it took.

Petlings run on a fixed day: about 14 hours awake, then a nap of about 7 hours when their energy drops to 30. A sleeping petling won't walk, train, play or do tricks.

• Tap a sleeping petling to wake it, or feed it (a meal gives energy too).
• Let go of a petling over a (800 coins) or one of the coloured honour beds for +40 energy: it curls up for a few seconds and gets up refreshed.
• Training costs 8 energy a round, so about 9 rounds take a petling from full to a nap.

The (120 coins, never used up) is the petling toy. Petlings in a room with a ball play fetch by themselves, you can drop it on one, or press Play in the book. A play gives +3 Bond, at most once an hour per petling.

Bond is a petling's level. Every 20 points make a Bond level, and each petling can earn at most 40 points a day (UTC); the rest is lost.

Growing up

At Bond 5 a baby grows into its adult look. That's when its hidden extras show (Tiny or Huge, a dog's ears, a cat's long fur), and collars, dresses and shoes start to fit.

Hearts and paintbrushes

Bond 10, 20, 30 each fill a heart on its portrait and give a paintbrush once per petling: a common, then a rare, then a legendary brush (see Outfits & paint).

Each petling gets one of 8 personalities at random. It shows a day after hatching, the next time you care for it (“Mochi seems Playful!”), and you'll sometimes see its personal idle animation at home.

Personality	In game	What it does
Playful	Toys and Frisbee Catch give double Bond	Toy plays and Frisbee Catch rounds give ×2 Bond
Foodie	Its craved food fills 50% more	A craved meal fills 1.5× as much (Bond is the same)
Tidy	Gets dirty 30% slower	Gets a dirt spot every 8½ hours instead of 6
Sleepy	Wakes from naps 25% sooner	Naps last about 5¼ hours instead of 7
Sporty	Jump and Dodge give 25% more Bond	Jumping and Dodging rounds give ×1.25 Bond
Graceful	Balance gives 25% more Bond	Balancing rounds give ×1.25 Bond
Brave	Tug duels give 25% more Bond	Tug of War gives ×1.25 Bond
Cuddly	Walks give double Bond	Walks give ×2 Bond

Cup ribbons give the same Bond whatever the personality.

On a petling's page tap Walk (“Go out together”). Up to 3 petlings follow you on a leash into the shops. Petlings resting in the book, asleep or missing stay home.

• Every 10 minutes out together gives each walker +3 Bond, up to 3 times a day.
• Legendary petlings leave a sparkle trail behind them.
• Everyone in the room sees your walkers. Open the emote menu's Petlings tab to make one do a move: Sit!, Up!, Stretch, Spin!, Dance! and Flop! for everyone, plus the tricks learned in the training park (Handstand, Roll Over, Backflip, High Five, Take a Bow).

Dress up on a petling's page opens its wardrobe. Clothes come from the Petling Shop (the book's Shop tab), one petling can wear each piece at a time, and visitors see what they wear. Babies can only wear head, face and charm pieces until they grow up.

Paintbrushes

The brushes from Bond hearts repaint a petling into another coat of its species that's already in your album. A common brush paints natural coats, a rare brush natural or rare, a legendary brush any coat. The petling keeps the rarity it hatched with and shows as “Painted”. Brushes can't be bought, gifted or sold.

A petling that's out and goes 4 days without a meal runs away. Petlings resting in the book never do. If you're offline you get a reminder 10 hours after its last meal, and another 12 hours before it would leave.

To bring it home you pay coins and some supplies; the price grows 10% a day (up to 4×):

1. Open the “Missing pets!” popup (or the petling's page and Bring them home).
2. Collect the items it asks for and pay the coins.
3. It comes back clean and rested, into its room. Feed it soon: it's still a bit hungry.
