Catz 5 hasn't come out yet, but when it does I will buy it! With Catz you can play with your own cute little furball, and watch it have cute little furballs of its own. I have Dogz 4, and the game is amazing. Not only can you get into the PC "Petz Online Community" and chat with other Petz owners, download new Breedz, and enter your petz in online showz, just like reallife, you can... Ehehe, I pretty much told you all about it. But, Catz 5 will be amazing, and if you buy Dogz 5 your catz can interact with your dogz in Petz 5.
WOW!!!

Ok, I am only a 10-year-old gamer but I too have my opinion, I myself LOVE cats (normal ones) and I also love Catz too, I have only gotten, Catz (original) on my gameboy, and Catz2 on my computer, but I love Catz5, besides the non-realistic part of when they get married it is completly realistic. My favorite cat is the Bobcat..... though that cannot actualy be a pet, it is a wild animal... BUT IT IS SO FUN!!!!! anyway, I hope you will buy it too!
A fun little game to pass the time.

Dogz 5 was the first version of the Petz series that I ever bought, and now I have Catz 5 too. So I have never played any of the previous versions (although I did download a demo of either Dogz1 or Dogz 2, but I don't think that really counts :P).
I'll start with the things I like about the game. For one thing, the little pixels are so kyoot. They're pretty easy to care for. Fun to breed and see what fun mixes you can make. If you decide you don't want some, or you simply have too many cats, you can e-mail them to someone who does want them and can give them a good home. There are some really awesome fansites with different breeds (wildz are awesome, by the way) and playscenes and hexed pets for download.
I just like the game overall.
But there are still cons. I loathe the mini games and just the idea of the mini games. The game sometimes crashes right before the heart pops up when two pets mate. I don't like the nursery.
That's about it, or all I can think of at the moment.

i love this game!(...)

Catz 5 is a game to remember for all your life. You can choose from 15 different breedz to adopt: Alley Cat, Black and White Shorthair, Calico, Chinchilla Persian, Desert Lynx, Egyptian Mau, Honey Bear, Japanese Bobtail, Maine Coon, Orange Shorthair, Persian, Russian Blue, Scottish Fold, Siamese, Tabby. You can pick 2 breedz, have them fall in love, and they can make multiple litterz. The mini games are pretty easy, and sometimes you get repeat toys. :[ In the Arabia Scene there is a bug. If you win a picture frame from plaing the mini game, an image of the American Gothic thing comes up in the top left hand corner. But that does not matter, because there are litterz to care about. :]
Catz 4 is a better deal

I have just purchased Catz 5 and I think it is very low in entertainment. My previous adult cats that I had on Petz 4 I transfered them to Catz 5 but they were all kittens. So I had to wait twice as long to breed them. The toys are also a problem because you have to *earn them by playing stupid little games. The only thing that I liked about this game is that your can have multiple litters. which is great. So if it wasnt for the toys and the transfering of adult cats into Catz 5, I would rate it a 5 star game. I hope Catz 6 will be more improved.
best game yet

I love this games. I remember a long time ago when they came out with the first one. This of course is way more fun. I agree with all the other reviews but I need to tell you something that nobody mentioned if you are thinking about getting this game. (by the way I am playing this game while I am typing right now)
WARNING: This game contains technology intended to prevent copying that may conflict some CD-RW, DVD-RW, and virtual drives. This game is intended to prevent copying.
GOOD NEWs WARNING: I have a computer with CD-RW and DVD-RW on it and it worked perfectectly. If you are not going to get this game because you have CD-RW or DVD-RW it MIGHT work on your computer anyway. You won't be able to return it once opened. So you will be taking a risk. I just wanted to let you know that there is hope for you still.
Get this game it is perfect for children. This game is like a G version of the Sims except with pets and less complicated. This game is also fun for teens and adults.
Good Game!

This game is fun and entertaining. I like how you can adopt many pets and you learn responsibility. If you don't feed your pets they run away though. Good Game!
