Pets in pre-existing households now are back with their households. Their absence just was not right - Pets are as much part of the Household as the Ghosts… just sayin’.
Fixed in Patch 1.77.146/1.45
If you're still experiencing this issue, please create a new thread.
Please be aware that for any saves started between Patch 1.77.131 and 1.77.146 the pets will not magically appear again but you can just replace the version with a new gallery saved version. They are back in new saves.
Good Luck

When viewed under Manage Households, all pets still seem to be in the household in the picture, however if you select to move, say, the Lynx family somewhere, the pets disappear and it's only Catarina. Likewise if you try to edit the household from the manager, pets disappear.

No Blue or Bartholomew either.

When does EA come to the conclusion that you have to test a game with all packs?

Same issue here. Old save files lose stray premade pets, new save files lose all premade pets.
