Cats vs dogs

If you have never had a cat then you won't understand it but they are the strangest most funniest animals but each to their own. You are either a cat person or not.

Honestly I am a cat person in real life, but in the sims I play with the dogs more, since with dogs you can go on walks with them. They're just more fun gameplay wise.

I wish you could walk cats. I know that's unrealistic, but I would have a blast walking my cat around town. I don't really play for realism.

I love cats in the game, especially that I don't need to pay much attention to them overall. When my sim-cat got lectured for scratching the couch and it chose to give my sim a nasty look and claw the couch more aggressively (much to my sim's frustration) it was enough to make me very happy.

Also, territorial cats in the game can be wonderful with a lot of company.

It helps that I am a super cat person.

I have actually walked a cat. Some cats actually cooperative when you take them on a walk (making it feel like walking a dog), some cats are stuborn, won't even walk with the owners and do everything to get rid of the lead. The cat I walked belongs in the first group. My current cat belongs in the latter group. Overall, it is possible in real life.

I am a cat person, too. I like the fact that sad sims can seek comfort from their pets, because that's what I do, too. I also like the fact that if cat doesn't want to play, they don't even play when sim tries to. Also, is it me or does cats in The Sims 4 really meow lot less than in The Sims 3? I played The Sims 3 last week and cats there meowed all the time.

If you want to make cat more useful, give them Powler trait. Cats with this trait tend to go out to hunt. They may bring back feathers (new collection) or a mystery box, which may contain toys, upgrade parts, crystals, stereos etc.

Sorry I post in the wrong category ! Pls move me to EP discussion. Thanks.

You can play with them, like using the laser or the cat wand. Or pick them up and put them on your lap while watching TV. I don't have a cat IRL, but I imagine it would be the same.

This has been the case with every iteration of Sims Pets packs. Cats in real life tend to be the same. However, there are traits like "Friendly" that you can use if you want your cat to give you more attention. I personally find the cats in Sims 4 to be the best of all the games so far.

Cats are the kind of pets that are easy to take care off and don't require much hazzle, both in game and in RL. They can also be very affectionate and great companions. Dogs on the other hand are affectionate but need a lot of care and attention... It just depends on what your preferences are and what you are looking for/need in a pet.

But speaking of leashing and walking a cat. In RL it is possible BUT not all cats will cooperate or more importantly allows you to walk it. I know two cat owners that have cats that love to go for a leashed walk. Another who keeps his cat bound inside the garden boundaries but doesn't walk it. I also know one particular cat that growled when the owner tried to leash her. An honest to god dog kind of growl was heard accompanied by showing off some very impressive sharp teeth. The owner only tried it once. Said cat is now an outdoor cat outfitted with a gps locator and a clowns collar.

I just started playing with dogs they are so much fun !!!! I love it better than cats :)

I prefer the dogs as well. People say they're high maintenance, but with the right traits you can have a dog that's as low maintenance as a cat, while still having all the other fun options
