If you happened to pick up this game expecting something exotic or different in the way of pets. You're going to be disappointed. Maxis has stayed with the (more or less) traditional household pets. If you decide to design your own pet in CAP, you have a choice of a variety of dog breeds in two sizes, large and small. Cats, also in a variety breeds, but only in one size. Those are the only two animals in the game that you have control over in the way they look. The other pets you can adopt or purchase are womrats, a gerbil type animal, a parrot and fish. I've enjoyed the game so far, even with the limited number of different kinds of animals in the game. There's a lot of different options for your pets. You can train them and have them get a job. You can also have a successful breeding program and sell your puppys and kittens. People new to the game will find taking care of their sims needs and training an animal a challenge. For the experienced Sims player this game can be addictive.
