Cats and mouse homes in apartments

Hi,

I have all packs inc cats and dogs and city living. I have an apartment with mouse holes and the mice come out to play. I also have 2 cats in my family and they don't do anything about the mice.

Is that what's suppose to happen or a missed oppournity by EA/ Maxis

  • I've had a cat watch the mice, but it was only a kitten at the time.

    I think how they interact with them depends on the cats' traits, or perhaps obsessions.

    My lazy cat doesn’t care about anything except sleeping really.
  • I think it depends on the cat. They end up with different fears and stuff I’m guessing based on traits.
  • @dragonmiroff I don't know about apartments that come with mouse holes, but the ones included in the pack which you can place yourself do have interactions with cats. It's not much, the cat waits outside and tries to pounce on the mouse. It might depend on the traits of your cat, it could also be a hidden trait, I'm not sure. I do know not all cats will interact with the mice nor will they immediately do so.

  • Has anyone ever had the cats show any interest in the birds at the bird feeder from Backyard Stuff? It's one of the first things I tried, forgetting the feeder was in a stuff pack, but I've never had any of mine sit and watch it or notice it's there. Wouldn't require any extra animations, just that the cat be drawn to sit and stare at the birds. At my place, we call the bird feeders "cat tv".
  • If chasing CL mouse depends on cat's traits, then anyone know which traits would work?

    My cat is frisky, talkative, freespirit and they lived on the Fashion district, next to Penny Pizzazz place.

    The mouse holes from CL are kinda buged wich prevent cats from hunting the mice in them. Cats getting pathfinding issues with them, saying they can not reach, them even when they should.
    And I only found this out with the playablepets mod.

    Mine was aloof, free spirit and spoiled. I'll go back to test but he was definitely going after the mice a few patches ago.
