I adopted a dog, and the dog automatically searches bushes and will find feathers and surprise gifts. The dog had found 12 feathers really fast just by playing in the bush up against the house on her on. There were two feathers she never got though, so I read up on it, and decided to get a cat, and head to Brindleton Bay. The only option when I click on birds are to chase, or scare. I am not seeing the option to command at all. My sim spent 8 hours at the park, continuously clicking on the cat to send out to prowl. The cat would leave, but just wonder around. The cat never attempted to prowl, and not once brought anything back. I am not understanding what I am doing wrong. My sim is maxed out in pet training. Do I have to have be better than friends with the cat? She is a new adoption, and only at friend level at this time. Any help is appreciated as I am stressed over all the time I have gone back and forth to the park trying to figure out how to get feathers with the cat. I forgot to mention that one of the cats traits is prowler.Thanks for any help.

@vmbos did you have your cat chase or scare the birds? Because if I remember James Turner's Cats & Dogs lets play he had his cats go after birds & they'd bring back feathers. BTW, in case you didn't know, when you have all the feathers you can assemble them into a bird statue you can sell for 2500 simoleons

Cats can also get feathers from the pee bush. I put one on the lot and the cat uses it on its own, you can usually find the feathers on the ground nearby. One of my cats found all of them that way.

Oh, didn't know about the bird statue! I thought we'd make a dream chaser, but that might be something else, or ts3 even, I never tried to accomplish the feather challenge.Btw: Could it be that your pet would achieve the full collection faster with a certain trait? Isn't there a Prowler trait that speeds things up a bit?

@Simmerville yeah. James would get frustrated trying to get the last one or two feathers so he could make the statue to get money for his sim who had little money lol.

I got back on. I took my dog to the park instead of the cat. The command option showed up with the dog there. I am going to try and build relationship with the cat, and see if that will work, as even though the command is there for the dog, she was not able to retrieve feathers from the birds. She does a great job at home with the bushes I personally put out though. Just missing one feather now.

I'm sorry. I have closed the game already. I believe there are 12 feathers, and my dog found 10 of the 12 feathers.

When clicking on the cat, the only option is to prowl. When I click on the bird, the only option is to chase or scare. There is no option that I see in videos that has command.

I thought chase and scare was for my sim. I thought there was supposed to be a command option that was for animals which is what I am missing. Is the chase and scare for the animals?

@vmbos I think both human & cat can do the chase & scare actions.

Sometimes it takes longer to collect every feather. I have built the owl statue many times, but I like the different framed pictures more and use those a lot as decor items. I'm kind of a bird watcher in RL so collecting feathers in the game is right up my alley. Try becoming a companion with the kitty and see if that helps.

Thank you for that information. I just got off work... going to head in now. I will go back and try those two interactions.
