On March 19, the first day of Spring, Stardew Valley got a major update. The 1.6 update celebrates the game's 8th anniversary.
Below are all of the cat and pet related updates!
You can now get multiple pets (after getting max hearts with your starter pet).
Pets that love you will sometimes give you gifts.
You can now place hats on cats and dogs.
Item added, Butterfly Powder, which allows you to remove pets…
Added an animals tab that shows all your pets & animals.
You can now build pet bowls in Robin’s shop, with three variants.
The farmhouse and pet bowl can now be moved through Robin’s menu.
Added two new cat and dog breeds.
Checking a pet bowl will now show a text bubble with the pet’s name.
You can now skip the pet adoption scene, which causes you to adopt the pet.
Reduced the amount of time you need to push against a pet before they start shaking and then let you pass through them (1.5 → .75 seconds).
Replaced pet icons on the inventory tab with the current date.
Fixed NPC spouse chores sometimes not applied on the intended day (e.g. saying they filled the pet water bowl but it’s not filled). See all of the updates in 1.6 here.
