Cat
Cats
Cats are pets that can be bought or sold in The Sims, The Sims 2 and The Sims 3. They are one of the most common pets Sims can own, along with dogs. In some games, such as the GBA Sims games, they are not something Sims need or have to take care of much, aside from petting them and and cleaning up their messes. They are mostly for show.
In other games, like The Sims: Unleashed and The Sims 2: Pets, they are one of the main parts of the game, in that they must be fed, given attention, played with, cleaned up after, and watched over.
The Sims: Unleashed
Cats were introduced in The Sims: Unleashed. In The Sims, a family can adopt a cat by going to the Pet Center in Old Town, or a Sim can befriend and adopt a stray. However, the Create a Sim section of The Sims does not allow players to create pets.
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.
The premade cats belonging to playable households in The Sims: Unleashed are:
- Waggles, Boots, Scout and Maggie Kat (owned by Ginia Kat)
- Menelaus and Hecuba Goth (owned by Gunther and Cornelia Goth)
The Sims 2: Pets
In The Sims 2: Pets, cats also have to be 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 continue doing it. Cats can be trained to be filthy or clean. Cats may get up on tables to eat Sim food that is on them, unless they have been trained to prefer pet food or to stay off furniture.
The premade cats belonging to playable households in The Sims 2: Pets are:
- Mickey, Samantha and Faline Kat (owned by Tara Kat)
- Cheech Kim (owned by the Kim family)
The Sims 3: Pets
Cats will return in the recently announced expansion pack, The Sims 3: Pets. Like Sims, cats have traits of their own.
