Pet hearts?

I thought it was because they are loyal? Does the pet doing it have that trait?

It could be that unconditional love thing pets have for their "companions". My loyal dog maddie gets it a lot when she's playing with her favorite sim

I think it's definitely the pet in heat! I just came on here looking for the answers myself as I noticed my Sim's dog barking with hearts floating, but shortly after noticed the thinking bubble she had above her head alternating between the 'woohoo' heart and the two pink hearts. Think I'll get the vet to spay them, my Sim lives in a small enough apartment!

That was my reason for spaying my sim's cat too. I don't even have room enough for a toy box in my little starter house, let alone x number of kittens!

Both of my dogs, who were former strays, have these hearts and I have been trying to breed them. Everytime I select "Encourage to Breed with..." it doesn't show the other dog, it shows random strays. I have told them to be nice to each other many times, but they still won't breed. What do I do?! They are mixed breeds, but I didn't think that was a problem.

Thanks all :D I didn't even realize this was a feature- I just thought my pet loved me a whole bunch XD

I adopted a stray cat and couldn't figure out why I couldn't get her to mate with another cat until I realised that she was already pregnant and had been when I adopted her. If you go into CAS, all the top left options like ages, etc. should be greyed out if the animal is pregnant...that's how I discovered it.

Thanks guys for replying I know they are opposite genders, but I not certain that either of them are pregnant. It doesn't semm likely though as I've been trying to breed them for 2 1/2 sim days.

So, whenever my dog is in heat and wants to get pregnant, I try and breed her with other dogs and they are always angry at each other and just bark. I even made a crazy dog lady next door to try and get more dogs that my dog could mate with and it always happens. At one point, I adopted some random male dog got my dog pregnant and then put him back up for adoption.

To mate, do dogs need to interact with each other more? Or maybe even become friends? It wasn't an issue with my adopted dog.

I kept getting the hearts as well from my two corgis. I would love for them to mate, but sadly, my household if full. I think it really helps (if you want them in heat) to have your sim woohoo in front of them. It started after my sims tried for a baby.

My male dog and female fox are both fixed but they get the hearts on occasion. Is that a bug then? If so that's sad :P I Think it's sweet that they have those little hearts. To me it is that they're happy and friendly towards another. The hearts happen when they're playing sometimes....the heart shows up they yip or yap and one of them runs off to do something else.

My cat is having the hearts thing, so I sent it out to hunt, as I have no other options. This is not in Brindelton Bay, and there are no strays around. So how can I have it breed, when there is no other cats?
