@Lirranlus Oh my bad, I read that wrong. So, have you tried to test the game without mods? Move the Mods folder to the Desktop, delete the localthumbcache.package file from the main The Sims 4 folder, and then repair the game from Origin. Restart the game and see if the cat interactions work.
If they do, then it's definitely a conflicting mod, so all you have to do is find out which one is not working or needs to be updated.

@GiardiniDiMarzo no problem! I will definitely try that! I have used some mods and cc in that household, will it be a problem if I remove the mods and try to start the game like you said?
Removing mods temporarily (because you move them to the desktop) does not erase saves, but it's better if you do a backup of them before testing without mods. Clearly if for example you have cc hair installed on those certain sims, you will see them bald.
So proceed as I said above, once restarted the game load that save (you will get the message that some items are gone, but it is normal, since you have removed the mods) and as first thing try to interact with the cats and see what happens (don't save, or if you want to, it's better to create a new save). At that point, if without mods the interaction with the cats worked, you have a tedious task ahead of you, which is to find out which mod conflicts.Here's a link with the current broken/updated mods
@Lirranlus , do what @GiardiniDiMarzo , but also delete the localthumbcache.package file. 🤨 This file can retain bits of corrupted data even if you remove your Mods/CC! 😞 The file is found in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4.
Mods/CC often become outdated when the game is patched like it was a few days ago. Fortunatly most Modders and CC creators are quick to update their products to work in the game! It is a good idea to do these steps if you have a problem in the game , or when you know the game has been updated to check to see if it is Mods/CC related or not. 😉
