New to the game and cuddling does nothing!!

So I’m really loving Voidpet so far!! My two problems seem to be that cuddling seems to do nothing? Is this just a fun little option or should my pets get something from it? And when I try to nourish a plant, the options are all grayed out. Does this just mean I’ve hit some sort of time limit and need to wait for it to reload? Here’s one of my envy’s in his cowboy scarf for fun :)
