How realistic (and sad) is that?
There are several things that bothers me with Cats & Dogs. One of them is that: https://i.imgur.com/AGOsnP3.png?1 How realistic is a stray hungry cat and a full food bowl (just steps away) not eatin...

Agree! I got the cats and dogs EP last week and only after playing a few times I started to notice this. It really astonished me because I've never seen this happen in any sims game.
To me it feels like the pets are objects. In the households with pets I've played there is hardly any interaction from cats or dogs toward sims. Sims have to instigate the interactions most of the time. This is so unrealistic. IRL animals make contact with humans all the time, even if they aren't your own pet. There might be some exceptions, but often when I visit someone for the first time and they have a dog... which family member makes the first introduction? Right, the dog! :)
Cats can be more aloof, but I have two of them and if they want attention, they will do anything to get it.
As far as the strays go, this is so unrealistic and very sad to see for any animal lover. Most of them are sick, stinky, hungry, tired or lonely. I don't know, but this is not my idea of fun and I installed a mod for it this weekend. But imo, EA should change it and we shouldn't have to rely on a mod to make it better.
