My single girl hasn't been able to find a suitable mate and is a bit blue, so I thought buying her a cat would help her mood. All it does is follow her around though, and she doesn't even acknowledge that it's there. You can't even select the pet or anything...it just wanders around without the occupants of the house knowing it's there. I feel like I wasted her hard earned money in buying it for her.

They don't notice the new clothes you buy them either, plus they lose the outfit they were wearing when you buy another. It would be nice if they could keep all the clothes you buy in the game....A real disapointment!

I just tried the baby boost. Just another waste of their hard earned money. Real bummer!

EDIT: THE BABY BOOST DOES WORK AFTER ALL
It took several tries (about an hour and half), but she finally did get pregnant with triplets...which is what I wanted since they're in their forties and may not be able to have more.
