‌

The stray cats can't eat from filled pet dishes and they can't use litter boxes on a community lot. They become sad and distressed and you can't get the option to adopt them when that happens. They constantly have the empty pet dish thought bubble and when you ask them what's wrong they request a litter box. The lot has filled pet dishes and litter boxes but the strays can't use them. Please consider this a bug and fix it.

Strays can now eat and use litter boxes without having to make the lot a Cat Hangout. You poor poor babies. You’re safe now.

Fixed in Patch 1.52.100

Have you tried adding the stray lot trait ?

[DragonAge_300905]

Yes. That;s what brings the stray cats to the lot. I built this lot in Newcrest.

[crinrict]

Just checking as on the link it doesn't seem the have the trait.

I'll test this.

[DragonAge_300905]

I just checked the gallery. Every lot made by other simmers that has any of the cats and dogs EP lot traits are hidden. I also uploaded to my gallery a sim with the cat lover trait. It doesn't show the trait on the gallery page either. So none of the traits that came with cats and dogs are visible on the gallery. I thought that was intentional on Maxis' end.

I'm sorry if my posts come across as rude. I don't intend for them to be.

[DragonAge_300905]

Also, thank you for testing and looking at this issue.

[crinrict]

No worries. Didn't take that as rude.

In the gallery itself it shows correctly ? Didn't have the time to check yet.

[DragonAge_300905]

This how it looks in the gallery.

Great. so it's just a issue on the website.

[DragonAge_300905]

The lot traits don't show in the gallery but they show in the library. The traits are cat friendly, sims will bring their pet cats to the lot. Cat hangout, stray cats will visit this lot.

The lot is ready to test the stray cats not being able to eat from the filled pet dishes and not being able to use the litter boxes. Maxis programed the stray cats needing a litter box to go to the bathroom. Maxis programed the stray cats and stray dogs needing a filled pet dish to eat. The strays are starving and the stray cats are starving and can't go to the bathroom.
