Kotaku ? Puking cats in The Sims 3 Pets | Simprograms

Being the sometimes oddball site they are, the gang over at Kotaku has been intrigued by cats that barf within The Sims 3 Pets.? I don?t know about you, but I?d take virtual cat-puke over real cat-puke any day?ugh, I hate having to clean it up when a cat freshly throws up?it?s all warm, gooey and chunky? *barfs*

?Last week, at a showcase event for game publisher EA, I found a Sims 3 Pets producer and he had some answers for me.

The cat might vomit due to ?random hairballs.?

OK. That?s reasonable, though I wasn?t able to get the Pets guy to tell me what the game?s hairball algorithm is (yet). Apparently cats that are prissy and groom themselves a lot will have a greater chance of getting a hairball. Concerned about their looks, they?ll risk feeling compelled to throw up more.

Another reason for a cat to throw up in the game: If they eat old, nasty food, they might lose it. That?s reasonable!

And another: ?It can be disgusted by horses peeing in the pasture.?

What?
