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.

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.
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 [[

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]]
Unlike [[dog]]s and [[horse]]s, cats have no traits that are unique to them.
Cats are able to hunt for and bring home
Cats, like dogs, can develop traits. 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
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.

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 [[mod]]s reveals that cats' needs are
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
Cats who are exploring may sometimes get into a fight with a wild animal, giving them chances of becoming [[Pet illness|sick]]. Cats, like dogs, have various forms of illnesses that they can get infected by. Sims can go to [[vet clinic]]s to get their pet cured, or if they have developed the [[veterinarian]] skill, cure the cat with their own methods.
The premade cats belonging to playable households in ''The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs ''are:▼
Cats are very mobile and can jump onto counters, tables, and even [[refrigerator]]s, if there is a 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 [[toilet]]s and stare at them for long periods of time during the day, or they can develop a fear towards [[dishwasher]]s, 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 vacuum]]s.
Cats have a few unique [[Pet trait (The Sims 4)|traits]], but others they share with dogs. For example
[[Raccoon]]s 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.

▲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.
==Trivia==
* There are over 30 [[List of pet breeds#The Sims 3 Era|cat breeds]] on the console version of ''[[The Sims 3: Pets]]'', and over 40 cat breeds on the PC/Mac.
* The players must have a Sim in a household with animals; they cannot live alone. This is possible in the 3DS version of ''[[The Sims 3: Pets (console)|The Sims 3: Pets]]''.{{confirm}}
*
* 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.
