Running your own vet clinic can be a tiring job though. Little did she know, these adventures would be an almost weekly occurrence. Fortunately, 'running away' in The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs is only ever temporary, and thanks to a missing pet post online, he returned safely - albeit a lot muddier - the following day, much to Veronica's relief. Totally oblivious to the black-caped intruder, expert guard dog Bert slept straight through the ordeal on the sofa (those darn cats had stolen his dog bed once more), giving no thought to his anaemic owner come the morning, when he packed up his squeaky toys and strolled out the front door. The worst part was it wasn't even laziness, as we'd had an unfortunate midnight run-in with the local vampire (a game pack bought courtesy of a recent PSN sale) that left poor V in an exhausted, bloodless heap on the bedroom floor, in no shape for walkies, let alone her day job as an astronaut. In fact, 'keen' might not be the right word, as the first one we missed actually saw him up and leave home, much to the chagrin of his owner, Veronica. Looking stylish, despite our complete lack of wallpaper.īeing more than a little hyper, Bert seems particularly keen on his morning walks. A friendly springer spaniel by the name of Bert rounds out the trio, and his love of squeaky balls and swimming pools knows no bounds. If she can find enough free time in her hectic fridge-staring schedule, anyway. Our female feline, Noodle, actually happens to think he looks very dapper - to the point where there may be the pitter-patter of tiny paws some time soon. There's also a variety of costumes to dress your poor unsuspecting pets in - which is why our ginger tom, Cheeseburger, is currently sporting a top hat and bow tie.

Each pet has its own personality, too, and just like with your Sims, you can pick three traits to help define how they behave - clever dogs have an easier time learning tricks, gluttons are especially food motivated, while vocal cats can make a right racket at 2am, when your Sim's trying to get some essential shut eye. A fully-fledged Create-A-Pet tool, which is almost as all-encompassing as its human equivalent, gives you preset mutts and moggies of almost every breed imaginable, which you can tweak and combine to your heart's content to make your own unique cross breeds. Of course, it wouldn't be a Cats and Dogs expansion without an all new pet creator, and luckily, this expansion doesn't disappoint.
