The more money you spend on food, the greater the chance that rare cats will appear. More total cats will also appear, especially if sashimi is left out. However, rarer food is eaten faster, and must be refilled more often. You you do not have the money to spend on more expensive food, you can still attract cats with the low cost food when used with lots of toys. When you put out moderate quality food (anything better than Thrifty Bitz), a large white cat named Tubbs will probably appear. Tubbs will eat all your food, then remain there for a while. If you refill the bowl, Tubbs will immediately leave. However, if wait instead and allow him to leave on his own, you will leave a lot of fish.

You do not have to wait for cats to give you with gold fish. Enter the in-game store and select "Gold Fish Exchange" to swap ten gold fish for 500 silver fish. Purchase the Cardboard House to attract Miss Fortune, a maneki neko that leaves behind a lot of fish when she leaves.

Refer to the Cat Book to learn which toys and items each cat likes. To collect gifts from the cats, which are left after repeat visits, learn which toys they like the most. A small number of cats are "novelty cats" that follow a particular theme. They are difficult to get in your yard if you do not know which items attract them. Give each item enough time in your yard to see if any novelty cats are attracted. For example, Sassy Fran likes the Café item, Lady Meow Meow likes the Luxurious Hammock, and Bob the Cat likes the Cat Metropolis. Some novelty cats are attracted by multiple items. For example, Conductor Whiskers likes the Twisty Rail and the Cardboard Choo-Choo. Mr Meowgi likes the Scratching Log and the Sakura Pillow. Guy Furry likes the Glass Vase and the Heating Stove.
