How do you get a boyfriend (my character is a girl_ how do you get a cat..

Well I just started the game but you have to wait a while for a dog and a boyfriend I'm already at winter and I still don't have one.

If you want to have a bf , first choose the one you like the most (I chose Pierre, :'>), then you have to talk with him everyday, after 4 days you can give gifts to him. You have to do it for a long time, his friend point will rise little by little, and the heart colour will change, too. When his heart is red, you can marry him, tehee.
Talk to him you will get 100 fp, give him things he loves 800fp,things really like 500fp, thing he like 300fp
When you have 10000fp his heart will change colour
You have to give things that he likes or really likes
For examble, pierre likes finest curry the most, sea urchin, buckwheat, butter...
Will likes firefly flower and almost all the flowers you can find around the island
Elliot likes Stir-Fried Veggies ,corn, onion,...
Denny likes sashimi and fishes
Mark, everything you give him you will get 300 FP
Vaughn (tough one):porridge, milk, mushroom cluster
Shea likes fishes and herbs
DogFirst, you have to have the horse, buy the brush and take care of it carefully, after you get enough animal points, Mirabella will give you a dog,
Catyou have to spend 30000g in Mirabella's shop and then she will give you
Pig maybe you already know, if you want to have a pig, you have to rise mushroom island, few days later, gannon will give you one

You don't have to have a horse to get a dog talk to maribell and tada by summer 24 you have a dog

If you choose vaughn, you can give him gifts early by giving him one on his birthday. Which is almost the day you start the game... Still took me three years though...
