Pet Emotions--The Story

About the Emotions

Pets can now show four emotions. Happiness, sadness, anger, and sickness. If your pet looks less upbeat than usual, it's time to take action!


Step One: Figure out what's wrong with your pet.

• Hungry pets show up with tears in their eyes. They typically have tears in their eyes and look quite pathetic. You can see how hungry your Neopet is on the Quick Reference page. Neopet hunger ranges from "dying" to "very bloated." (Remember that Neopets WILL NOT die, even if their hunger status is "dying!" They're just a melodramatic bunch.) If your pet is anything below "hungry," it might be time to give it some food.
  
• Neopets with a low mood rating also show tears in their eyes. You can also view your Neopet's mood from QuickRef page. Neopet moods range from "miserable" to "delighted." Once a Neopet's mood drops below "content" it will begin to cry. Often, pets become unhappy because they have not been played with or groomed in a while.
  
• Neopets with low HP (Health Points) look angry. HP can be seen on the QuickRef page. Pets have different HP levels based on their training, and HP can drop because of battles or bad luck with random events and dailies.
  
• Sick pets look distinctly worn down and weak. Click on your active pet on the left side of the screen to get to your QuickRef page and scroll down. If any of your pets are suffering from a disease, there will be a green cross and a little bit of text telling you what your Neopet is suffering from. Neopets can get sick from various dailies, random events, or eating poisonous foods.

• Hungry pets are hungry, so you'll need to feed them! You can visit the Giant Omelette in Tyrannia, or visit the Soup Kitchen if you have fewer than 3,000 Neopoints. In addition, there are LOTS of inexpensive foods. Omelettes on the Shop Wizard are generally very affordable, as are jellies. (Though Fyora only knows where those come from! It's not as though there's some mystical land made of jelly.) Keeping your pet well fed--whether it is with gourmet food or Omelette--is one of the first steps to keeping a pet happy.
  
• Often, pets become unhappy because they have not been played with in a while. Therefore, the remedy for this is to simply play with your Neopet! If you have any old (non-Magical) plushies lying around, pick one up and play with your unhappy Neopet! Some inexpensive plushies include Headless Von Roo Plushie, Yellow Lupe Plushie, and Blue Aisha Plushie. If you like, you can even try to find a plushie to match your pet!
  

  Grooming can also help an unhappy Neopet. Some Nail Varnish or a Sparkly Brush my be just the thing for your sad Neopet! After you've fluffed and polished, you might want to buy a mirror so that your pet can admire his or her good looks.
  

  Whether your pick playing or grooming, it may take a while for your pet to become happy again. If you continue to play with your pet or groom them, you will definitely begin to see an improvement in their mood.
  

  An alternative cure for a down-in-the-Meridell-dumps pet is to bring him or her to the Roo Island Merry Go Round or go on a Mystery Island Tour. These cost 50np a piece and are a quick way to boost a pet's morale. (Just like vacations make owners feel better, Neopets like to get out and see the world they live in!)
  

• If your pet has low HP, try bringing your pet to the Healing Springs every 30 minutes, or use one of the many varieties of Healing Potions available from the Magic Shop and user shops. Healing Potions I-XIX, as well as Dewberry Reviver, Essence of Everlasting Apple, Super Strength Healing Potion, and Bubbling Healing Goo can all be used outside of the Battledome to bring your pet's HP back up to normal.
  
• If your pet is sick, visit the Hospital to see what item you need to cure it. Sometimes, the cure will be fairly inexpensive. However, some remedies cost more than 99,999np. If you find that your pet is suffering from an expensive disease, it is probably easier and cheaper to visit the Healing Springs every 30 minutes with your sick pet as your active pet. It may take a while to cure your pet, but remember that pets won't die so there is no need to panic and/or beg for people to give you the cure. ;)
