I'm someone who prefers to use my keyboard as I'm playing and these suggestions all relate to that in some way.
The name and rename options for animals are in inconsistent places - one in the 2nd position, the other the 3rd. This slows you down as you need to check how many times to press the Up key when you're trying to do something more common, like massaging - which is particularly annoying if you're chasing butterflies.
This made me think that it might be nice if, when you have inactive items in a menu, navigating that menu could only move to the next active item. That would break the patterns of key strokes that you get used to, but in the sequences of pet/water/harvest or pet/nibble, etc, you would just hit enter twice for every action - much smoother.
Finally, when you opt to rename an animal it would be nice to have the focus placed into the name field. I always want to call things Mungo, so I always end up getting the map. It's not intuitive to me to click into text field - I would like to just be able to start typing.
