  • Question
    What do I do after I am done with the cat?
    Community Answer
    After the cat grabs the fish you just caught, it runs into a store nearby. Enter, and the lady there will give you a half-full bottle of milk. The bottle is the real prize here; the milk isn't that great. Now you can purchase the slingshot from her. It takes 30 rupees, so toss pumpkins, cut grass, whatever you need to do in order to get that much. Go back to your house, and the children will want to see you fire it at some targets. From there, the story continues.
