I love your list of pets! (The bird addition a welcomed pet!) The mice in apartments could be caught and made into pets instead of just killing/landlording them! This is the first time ive heard pets are coming round ( havent been on here before haha) love the vet idea as irl colds and flus can be given to dogs/cats (and for puppy making/non-making purposes). Online store maybe to order fun pet collars or specialty treats, if making a whole store is too much/not possible... be able to create organic treats/food if your sim is gourmet-y/herbal-y, maybe can learn how to train animals and open a training shop (like a restaurant type deal with customers paying for a service and getting reviews from how well you/your trainers train the animals, sometimes the parent of the pet will stay and watch which can be an opportunity to sell your special treats or better training. Will have a training show at the end of the lessons when there's no more training to be learned and it can be like a social gathering or something. Haha) can also have a groomers there where the animals get pampered if they're stressed out.
I hope they are added to the family and we can see their hunger, energy etc. And emotions etc. But maybe not count against the family count.. like if I have a cat lady who has 7 cats plus her makes 8, she can't have a child or a room mate then, ya know? Doggy doors in walls or custom doors with them already inside em, so when the mail man comes by the dog or cat will attack/chase/scare! Oh so much fun! Haha
