The Sims 2: Pets is the fourth expansion pack in The Sims 2 series of games, as well as a stand-alone game for several consoles. It is published by Electronic Arts. Sims can own cats, dogs, "womrats" (creatures similar to guinea pigs, whose name is a combination of wombat and rat), and birds. The game features 72 pre-made breeds of dogs and thirty pre-made breeds of cats. Pets can be acquired in five ways: over the phone, in "Create-A-Pet," in a pet shop, found as a stray dog/alley cat or by having a controlled Sim give or sell a pet to another Sim.

Create-A-Pet is similar to "Create-a-Sim," where one builds human Sim characters. In Create-a-Pet, players may customize a cat or dog by choosing patterns and colors of coat, body shape, facial structure and personality, which determines playfulness, neatness and intelligence.
