Still current, cats just can't get on the sofa at all. They can scratch it though.
Same applies to the chaise style modular piece.

Just updating that in version: 1.88.228.1020, the problem still exists. I had to remove my sectional sofas because of the pets. They need to add the interactions with the animals on these couches.

I don't think this is so much a bug, as a glitch with the sectional sofa interactions themselves. I've never tried them with pets (the sectional sofas), but in the past have tried using them as the main lounge seating. Unless you actually have a sim sit on them, they won't automatically sit there to watch TV. To me, it seems to be more of a glitch in the programming line for the sectional sofas than a game bug.
