The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs
Cats return as one of the two major pets in The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs. Cats offer new gameplay interactions and features, but they are not directly controllable by the player. Using mods reveals that cats' needs are bladder, hunger, energy, play, affection and bowel.

Cats usually wander away from the home lot and go explore the neighborhood surrounding them. Brindleton Bay neighborhoods are also full of various piles of fish and bushes, that cats can investigate on their own. They are able to hunt down birds and bring back all sorts of feather collectible that Sims can put on their walls to serve as decoration. Cats will also sometimes bring home mysterious boxes, that Sims can open to gain pet toys. Cats with the prowler or free spirit traits are especially good at hunting and collecting.

Cats who are exploring may sometimes get into a fight with a wild animal, giving them chances of becoming sick. Cats, like dogs, have various forms of illnesses that they can get infected by. Sims can go to vet clinics to get their pet cured, or if they have developed the veterinarian skill, cure the cat with their own methods.

Cats are very mobile and can jump onto counters, tables, and even refrigerators, if there is counter next to it. Cats can't be bathed by Sims and will always clean themselves if they ever get dirty. Cats will use litter boxes on their own and will sometimes complain to Sims for them getting dirty, making the owner to clean the filthy litter. Cats can also develop various fears or interests towards objects. For example, cats can become interested towards toilets and stare at them for long periods of time during the day, or they can develop a fear towards dishwashers, making them scared every time the object is on. Cats will usually sleep on couches, cat condos, and on their owners bed, if there is room. They can also ride robot vacuums.

Cats have a few unique traits but others they share with dogs. For example: both cats and dogs can be friendly, and the talkative trait in cats is equivalent to the vocal trait in dogs. Selecting a pre-made cat breed in Create a Pet will automatically add a suitable (but removable) trait or two. Cat traits affect how they perform, hunt and are interested towards Sims.

Raccoons exist as well and are present as a breed for cats. Raccoons have unique voices and can be created in Create a Pet. The default traits for raccoons are territorial and mischievous. Aside from their appearance and voices, however, they act and behave like normal cats.

The premade cats belonging to playable households in The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs are:
 * Doc, Cleo, Josie, & Bartholomew A. Bittlebun, Jr. (Owned by Catarina Lynx)
 * Bartholomew A. Bittlebun, Sr. (Owned by the Delgato family)
