==The Sims: Unleashed==
[[File:The sims cats.jpg|frame|Some of the cats that can be selected in ''The Sims: Unleashed''.]]
Cats were first introduced in ''[[The Sims: Unleashed]]''. A family can adopt a cat by going to the Pet Center in [[Old Town]], or a Sim can befriend and adopt a [[stray]]. The Create a Sim section of ''The Sims'' does not allow players to create pets.
[[Skill (pet)#The Sims|Skills]] for cats are obedience, tricks, and hunting. Cats may hunt [[cockroaches]], mice, and garden pests on their own. They can be told to hunt mice and garden pests, though they will not always do it.
Line 22:
In ''The Sims 2: Pets'', cats also must be [[Pet skills#Behaviors|trained]] so they can live with Sims. The player can do this by scolding them if they don't want them to do something that is bad, e.g., destroying furniture, or by praising them to encourage a behavior. For example, cats can be trained to be filthy or clean, and cats may get up on tables to eat Sim food unless they have been trained to prefer pet food or to stay off furniture.
After a cat becomes an adult, a Sim can stroke the cat, pick it up and hug it, or feed it a treat, although they can no longer be held and carried around. Sims can play with a full-grown cat by pulling out a cat teaser, tossing the cat in the air, or wiggling their fingers at it. The cat teaser and finger-wiggle games will continue until canceled by the player, or until the cat or Sim ends them through [[free will]]. Cats generally enjoy these things, but when playing the finger-wiggle game, a cat may eventually become annoyed and scratch the Sim, which will lower the relationship between the two. Cats may also occasionally pounce at Sims and scare them; the frequency of this interaction does not appear to be based on their personality or their trained behaviors.
Unlike their counterparts in ''Unleashed'', kittens in ''Pets'' are mobile and largely self-sufficient. They can feed themselves (provided there is food available), use a [[litter box]], and sleep on [[pet bed]]s without the help of a Sim or their mother. Kittens can also learn [[behaviors]]. However, they cannot go up or down stairs without the help of a Sim and they cannot get jobs or learn [[commands]].
If ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life|Apartment Life]]'' is installed alongside ''Pets'', [[Witch]]es can have a [[Spectral cat|Spectral Cat]] as their [[Familiar]]. The spectral cat will never age, has no gender and is unable to breed. It also doesn't have the bladder need, so litter boxes are unnecessary, although they can learn how to use the toilet. If one of its need bars ever gets too low, or if the summoning witch leaves the lot, it will vanish, but can be resummoned with the same spell with its needs full.
The pre-made cats belonging to playable households in ''The Sims 2: Pets'' are:
* [[Mickey Kat|Mickey]], [[Samantha Kat|Samantha]] and [[Faline Kat]] (owned by [[Tara Kat]])
* [[Cheech Kim]] (owned by the [[Kim family (The Sims 2: Pets)|Kim family]])
==The Sims Pet Stories==
Cats in ''[[The Sims Pet Stories]]'' are just like the ones in ''[[The Sims 2: Pets]]'', with no differences. They largely take a backseat role in this game.
The pre-made cats belonging to playable households in ''The Sims Pet Stories ''are:
* [[Indie Thornton]] (owned by the [[Mustella household]]), of Garden Heights
* [[Diva Loyal]] (owned by the [[Girard family (Mesa Flats)|Girard family]] then moved in with [[Stephen Loyal]]), of Mesa Flats
* [[Claws Kennedy]] (owned by the [[Kennedy family (Pet Stories)|Kennedy family]]), of Mesa Flats
* [[Shadow Rambler|Shadow]] and [[Pooka Rambler]], of Mesa Flats
* [[Baldur Rosenfeld|Baldur]] and [[Tootsie Rosenfeld|Tootsie ]](owned by [[Zoey Rosenfeld]]), of Arbor Falls
All three neighborhoods of Sims Pet Stories also feature a full predetermined list of both stray and adoptable premade cats and dogs, that differ for each neighborhood and do not match the Sims 2: Pets lineup.
==The Sims 3: Pets==
Line 34 ⟶ 47:
Cats return in the fifth [[expansion pack]] for ''[[The Sims 3]]'', ''[[The Sims 3: Pets]]''. Like Sims, cats have traits of their own. Initially, they are assigned three [[Trait (The Sims 3)|traits]].<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MFJCgC6jnw ''Pets'' (console) Trailer]</ref> Unlike ''The Sims 2: Pets'', cats have only six needs: hunger, bladder, energy, social, fun, and scratch.<ref>[http://www.sims3cri.com/en/meeting-producers/969-presentazione-the-sims-3-animali-a-co-il-nostro-reportage.html?start=4 Cat's motive revealed]</ref>
Unlike [[dog]]s and [[horse]]s, cats have no traits that are unique to them, but can develop traits over time. This means that even though a cat is not born or made with a certain trait, it may develop it over the course of its life. For example, a cat that plays with toys often can develop the playful trait, or a cat that grooms him/herself often might develop the neat trait.
Cats are able to hunt for and bring home collectibles that a Sim can keep in terrariums or send off to the science facility. Cats with the [[hunter]] trait are especially adept at this, but all cats must first be trained, either by a Sim or by a pet toy. They will then develop hunting as a skill, which they can level up as they get better at it. The higher level hunter a cat is, the more likely it is that it will catch something other than leaves, feathers, or snake skin. A trailer for the console version of the game shows a cat banishing a ghost from the lot.
For the first time in the series, cats can be given a bath by an older Sim but will require a high level of relationship. A lower relationship will result in the Sim being scratched. Cats can develop fleas which can spread to other pets and giving it a bath will help remove them.{{confirm}}
Cats can [[Breeding|breed]] if a pet house is present, and will give birth to several kittens if there are not already more than 8 Sims in the household. In order to have a larger litter of kittens, Sims may buy the [[lifetime reward]] "Fertility Treatment for Cats." It takes about 2–4 days from conception till the kittens are born. Whenever a cat becomes pregnant, the same music that sounds for Sims will be played. Kittens are not able to do things that adult cats can, such as climbing stairs and playing with toys.
Line 78 ⟶ 91:
* Cats may react negatively to the TV but can sing along with music.
* Cats can vomit on the floor, due to a furball in their throat, if they only groom themselves. Sims can brush them to avoid this.
* Cats were able to be given a bath for the first and only time in ''[[The Sims 3: Pets]]. ''This is possbile by having a high relationship with the Cat and can also be used to treat fleas. This interaction is not available in ''[[The Sims 2: Pets]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs]]''.
