In ''Unleashed'', there is no Scratch meter for cats, but cats will still need to scratch from time to time, and a scratching post is available in Buy Mode. Likewise, dogs will enjoy using chew toys which can be bought from the '''SqueakNip Pet Toys''' display, even though there is no Chew meter for dogs. |

In ''The Sims 2: Pets'', the Scratch motive for cats, and the Chew motive for dogs, replace the [[environment]] motive. Cats need to sharpen their claws now and then, and will seek out whatever is nearby to do so. Dogs will occasionally feel the need to chew on something. Buying a scratching post or a chew toy in Buy Mode, will lessen the risk that pets will destroy furniture. If a pet does annihilate a bed, couch, etc, it cannot be repaired. All that can be done is clean up the mess and buy a new one. |

Pets can be trained to use scratching posts and chew toys, of course, but they typically will do it on their own anyway. Training is best done by praising the pet for scratching or chewing things that the player wants it to scratch or chew, otherwise it might fall back to destroying furniture. If a pet destroys valuable furniture, scold it, though it's best if the Sim has a good relationship with the pet before scolding it. |
