How can I make my pets get along?

My sims just adopted two kittens and I had in my head that they'd be the best of friends, but they don't seem to like each other much, they keep hissing at each other. I swear I saw an option to make a pet be nice to another but I don't see it... is there any way to try and make them get along more? (via gameplay mechanics, not cheats or mods!)

    Sorry about the misinformation about cats - I had checked to see if cats also had the friendly trait in CAS, and they do, so I assumed they would have the "Be friendly to ..." interaction also but I just did another test play with a dog and cat - both with the friendly trait - and only the dog has that interaction. Not sure why cats do not have it - may be an oversight - not sure. They may still breed - do not really think they are that fussy about who they do so with! Not sure though - I have not played with breeding at all - have just read that pets often get pregnant when roaming around.


    Ah okay. Thanks for the update. Shame there isn't an option like that for cats... will see how it plays out. :)
  • I'm trying to get my cat to breed with another cat outside the household. Whenever I try, they always hiss at each other. Any ideas on how to get them to like each other?

    @delimariver To be honest it's been months since I asked this question and I still don't really know the answer. Sometimes my pets just get along, and sometimes they just don't. However, I did have two cats who seemed to dislike each other autonomously breed before so if you're asking because you're hoping to breed them then I don't think it makes much of a difference anyway, maybe just keep trying? Sorry I can't help more!
  • Did anyone ever find a solution to this?? I've been trying to cat my cat to breed for a while and every cat she meets it has the red x and they hiss. I haven't ever had the "be nice to" option pop up.
  • Update: ok I got it to work! What I did was just add a neighborhood cat to my family my typing in testingcheats true then shift clicking on the cat and clicking "add to family" then when I tried to get my cat to breed with them it worked first try! Then you can shift click and remove from family.

    I have been having this same issue and was able to resolve it through doing this! Thank you :)
  • Following for help! I had 2 adult dogs (male and female), 90% of the time they're great with each other, mated and had puppies.. But then every once in awhile the male would start a fight the female, my sim would need to intervene and tell the male not to start fights, then the male would promptly run away afterwards. (Even though our relationship value was as high as could be and best friends) It got incredibly annoying!
