Cats or dogs better? (Sims 4)

Do you like Cats or Dogs better? I love dogs better but I used to love cats.
  • Horses but I'll take a big dog anyday as well. At least if I could. Now have to settle for in game only.
  • Team cats irl tbh
    but I like having dog more in the game because I don't have dog irl and there is more to do with dogs in game

    also cat tree and scratching post and litter box all take so much space in my sims homes that having dog is kinda more simple to fit in unless I'm doing like cat paradise of a house and yet i refuse to give them any less of it :lol:
  • It's a close call, but I'm a cat person irl so I think I tend to like them a bit more in the game and plus you can't beat that laser kitty litter box and there are more cat toys and objects, but you can interact more with the dogs and the puppies are really cute. I love when the puppies and kittens run around and fall on their faces or hide under furniture.
  • Cat person irl, so few of my sims have dogs. But from what I've seen from those few, dogs in this game are all individuals, vastly differing from each other. Their traits really make a difference (unlike with sims often). Whereas with the many cats my sims have, the only differences I've noticed is that some like human food and others avoid it. Other than that they seem identical.

    Conspiracy theory: The devs are dog persons that put effort in bringing that richness into the game. They only know the basics about cats and therefore thought they had checked all the boxes, when in truth they had barely scratched the surface.
  • I like Both, I own three cats irl, but I would love to have a dog someday too.
    I grew up with both, so I don't have a huge preference.
    For now, there are more dogs in my worlds than cats, because I was breeding them in my game. I took a Wolf Link from the gallery, and also a mythic fox, and wanted to see what I would get. I also bred Garurumon and Kyubimon as well to see what their mixes would look like.
    I have some cats lined up for breeding in the game too. I also bred the offspring of Wolf Link and the mythic fox with another dog/wolf named Madara.
    For now, dogs in my game outnumber my cats, but once I breed my chosen pair, they will catch up.
  • I voted for dogs, probably because there are many more breed options (large vs. small) and you don't have to find room in your house for a litter box or cat tree of some sort as with cats (of course the cat trees are optional, but they're essential for my in-game cats). I do however still love playing with both and if I want a certain sim or family to have a pet, I usually choose which kind based on their personality and the story I'm trying to create (or they may end up having both!).
