Like [[Sim]]s, pets age in '''stages'''.
 
A pet starts as a kitten, puppy or foal{{vgversion|TS3:Pets}} and ages to an adult. In ''[[The Sims 2: Pets]]'' and, ''[[The Sims 3: Pets]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs]]'', an adult pet will eventually age to an elder, and will eventually die. However, in ''[[The Sims: Unleashed]]'' and ''[[The Sims 2 Pets (console)|The Sims 2 Pets]]'' for console, adult pets live indefinitely.
 
In ''The Sims: Unleashed'', kittens and puppies are objects, and appear as maternity tents topped by a cat face or dog face. The mother will watch them, but it is not possible to interact with them.
 
In ''The Sims 2: Pets'', kittens and puppies are independent family members with their own [[Motive (pet)|needs]], though they do not have the Scratch or Chew motives. They are mobile, but cannot climb stairs, and must be carried up and down them. They cannot be taken to [[community lot]]s. They cannot have jobs or learn [[commands]], but they can learn [[behaviors]]. While they cannot get on beds or furniture, they can be praised for not getting on them, and therefore trained to stay off them. This stage lasts three four days.
 
The adult stage lasts 25 26 days for [[cat]]s and small [[dog]]s, and 22 days for large dogs. DogsThe andlength cats areof the onlyelder playablestage petsis 6 to 11 days, butand playersis random. The adult or elder stage can buybe aextended by having the pet eat the [[Aquarium|fishKibble tankof Life]]. Unlike Sims, birdwho cageage at 6:00 pm (18:00), orpets womratage forat Sims11:00 toam. careElder forpets can retire from their [[career (pet)|career]]. However, they cannot get jobs.
 
In ''The Sims 3: Pets'', all animals start out as an adult (unless born in-game or adopted as a kitten/puppy/foal). Catscats are kittens for seven Sim days, they are adults for twenty-eight Sim days, and they are elders for seventeen Sim days, then they die. Dogs are puppies for seven Sim days, they are adults for twenty-five Sim days, and elders for fourteen days, then they will die. Horses are foals for five Sim days, they are adults for thirty-five Sim days, and elders for seventeen days, then they will die. All living pets are fully controllable at all life stages, and all living pets can learn new skills at all life stages.▼
Elder pets can retire from their [[career (pet)|career]]. However, they cannot get jobs.
 
Only adult pets can get pregnant, elder males can make an adult animal pregnant.▼

All living pets are fully controllable at all life stages, and all living pets can learn new skills at all life stages.
 
In ''The Sims 4:'' ''Cats & Dogs'', Sims can own cats and dogs as pets, which are the main feature of the expansion pack. Unlike previous games, pets cannot be controlled by the player, similarly to ''The Sims 2: Pets'', and there is no cheat that will allow the player to do so. Sims can interact with these pets in various form of ways such as feeding, playing and training, and are able to bond with them through these interactions.
 
Both pets have three life stages; kitten/puppy, adult and elder. They will live through these life stages like normal Sims, but much shorter. Pets can also [[Death|die]], but only from old age. Both cats and dogs can have three different [[Pet trait (The Sims 4)|pet traits]], which are unique to them and are not available to Sims. These traits control the pets' actions and reactions towards the surrounding world. Some traits have unique attributes for one of the two species, but most traits are identical to one another.
▲Only adult pets can get pregnant, elder males can make an adult animal pregnant.
 
 
== Death ==
 
In ''The Sims: Unleashed'', pets, like Sims, do not age and have indefinite life spans. They can die, and have their own [[Gravestone#The Sims|gravestones]], but death is not inevitable for them.
 
In ''The Sims 2: Pets'', pets will eventually die of [[old age]], that being the only way they can die, as a police officer will take the pet away before starvation. When a pet dies, the [[Grim Reaper]] will come to take the animal away. Other dogs on the lot will surround the Grim Reaper in a circle and howl. Cats arch their backs and hiss.
 
Pet deaths have their own unique cinematics. A dog's death will result in the Grim Reaper throwing a stick and the dog fetching, while a cat is thrown a ball of yarn. When a horse dies, the Grim Reaper will ride it through a portal to the [[Netherworld]].{{Vgversion|TS3:P}} Pets also have their very own [[Gravestone#The Sims 2|gravestones]], and a special memory is also added when a pet dies.
 
In ''The Sims 3: Pets'', all animals will eventually die. They can die of starvation,old fire,age drowning,as andin oldthe ageprevious game. A dog will die after forty-six Sim days, a cat will die after fifty-two Sim days, and a horse will die after fifty-seven days.(All on normal lifespan){{Lifespan|N}} When a cat dies, the Grim Reaper will throwdangle a mousecat toy from his hand and encourage the cat to jump for it until it ascends to the afterlife; when a dog dies, he will throwdirect it into a portal to the next life by throwing a stick for it to fetch, or at times cuddle the dog toywhile they lick his face, and he tosses them into a portal above them; and when a horse dies, he will throwspawn a large portal nearby, mount the horse and ride it off to the hayunderworld. All animals have unique gravestones.
 
In ''The Sims 3: Pets'', stray cats, lost dogs, and wild horses will also die eventually and get a gravestone. As they die, the other stray animals will surround them, along with everyone else on the lot.
