New and Unique Traits for Cats and Dogs

Sponsored by EA

The new expansion comes with a variety of new traits for your pets. You can add them when you are creating your pet in Create a Pet. Most of the Cat and Dog traits are very similar to each other but with a different name. Some of the traits are really unique, for example your dog can have the hunter trait while the cat can have the territorial trait.

When you select a special breed in Create a Pet, a trait will automatically be given to your pet that will fit the chosen breed. You can change this later if you want.
