Cats vs dogs

What is th point of cats actually ? I can’t really do much with them ! They just go about doing their own stuff. I guess it is like real life. But it makes it boring to own a cat ! I am missing something ?
  • I guess if you have pets in the game more due to gameplay than preference for one over the other, then dogs give you more active gameplay (helpful if you play a single Sim or maybe just a couple), while cats give you more chill gameplay (helpful if you have a full house of Sims otherwise, I suppose).

    For me, it's more about personal preference. I have cats and dogs in the games for a bunch of reasons, most of which don't even consider gameplay behind them, lol.
  • Once my sims had kids I stuck with cats. Don’t need to walk them and they are pertty good at taking care of them self’s. Dogs are good for explouring and going on long walks with. It gives your sim a reason to leave he house. But they are more needy. As someone else mentioned it’s about the traits too. There are lazy dogs who just want to lay on the couch and cats who jump on everything getting into trouble.

    Ok. It's great to see you're enjoying playing with dogs.
    Enjoy!
  • I am a cat person and that was enough reason for me to get the cats and dogs pack! I like dogs too, but in this game I just can't stand the whiny cry from the dogs, and they have to be bathed too often in this game. I gave one of my main sims an adorable Newfoundland, but it was so clingy! I ended up moving the dog to another household that my main sim is good friends with, so at least they can still visit each other.
    I thought the cats in the game were well done. As a cat person, I don't have too much to complain about with the sim cats. I was pretty miffed though when my spayed cat ended up having a litter - twice. I hope that is a bug...... I tried getting her 'unspayed' and then spayed again and it seems to be working so far.
  • Hm, can't cats and dogs be trained to perform certain actions?

    Anyway, I like just watching them, wondering what they are up to and so. Love that they can walk under some big furnitures, and jump on top of others :) In a way they make the house feel more spacious :)
