Cattails: Wildwood Story – Friendship Guide (V1.10)

Friendship is a value representing how favorable a cat is towards you. It comes in three different types of values: friendship, dating, and marriage. These values are used independently based on your relationship with the cat. If you’re dating a cat, the dating value is used, and likewise for the marriage value. All other cats use the normal friendship value.

Each type of value can be represented by a number in the range of 0 – 1000. These numbers then correlate to a specific tier, which is displayed in the table below.

Each type of friendship has a unique symbol. The normal friendship symbol is a star, the dating symbol is a heart, and the marriage symbol is a ring. Each tier represents how many symbols are displayed for that specific type of value. For example, having a tier 2 relationship with a cat you’re dating will result in 2 hearts being displayed.
Note: Spirit cats do not have a visible friendship bar until you begin dating or become married to them.

Reaching new tiers causes cats to unlock new dialogue and allows you to experience new events (see Event Guide).

Almost every cat can be married, including spirits. The only exceptions are kittens, as well as cats who are participating in a rival marriage.
Note: Spirit cats have a x0.85 friendship difficulty modifier, meaning they’re 15% more difficult to gain friendship with.

Normal friendship is the default type of friendship. This value is used when you are just friends with a cat, meaning you aren’t dating nor married to them. The following table shows benchmarks for this type of friendship.

After reaching four stars with a cat, you can begin to date them. This can be done by giving them a Red Rose, which can be gathered from the Old Farm at any time, or bought from Ember after Day 15. The following table shows benchmarks for this type of friendship.

After reaching four hearts with a cat, you can marry them. This can be done by giving them a Shiny Trinket, which can be crafted at an Anvil using 3 Diamonds and 9 Gold Ore. It can also be bought from Ember after Day 25. Marrying a cat will cause them to move in with you. The following table shows benchmarks for this type of friendship.

There are quite a few ways to gain friendship with a cat, whether that be gifting an item, completing a task, talking to them, or some other ways. These friendship gains can be modified by three different things.
1. How many “Social Hearts (purple)” you have (see Power Paws Guide)
2. Whether your colonies “Prey Stockpile” perk is active
3. What difficulty you are playing on (Kitten, Easy, or other)
Displayed below is the base gain each action has on a cats friendship value, as well as the effects from the three bonuses, if applicable.

It’s much more difficult to lose friendship than it is to gain friendship, and there’s only a couple ways to do so. Neither stockpile nor difficulty has any effect on how much friendship is lost.
