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.
== 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 of old age as in the previous 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.{{Lifespan|N}} When a cat dies, the Grim Reaper will dangle a cat toy from his hand and encourage the cat to jump for it until it ascends to the afterlife; when a dog dies, he will direct it into a portal to the next life by throwing a stick for it to fetch, or at times cuddle the dog while they lick his face, and he tosses them into a portal above them; and when a horse dies, he will spawn a large portal nearby, mount the horse and ride it off to the underworld. 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.
your pets like you dog and cat will die in about 25 sim days sorry for your pets guys
