The dog seems to like sleeping with the kids, and the cat sits in laps. Maybe the boost is there, but only at those times, or maybe because the pet is around longer than the "instant" items like candy, the boost amount is a smaller amount.

Hi Ester! The baby boost isn't garanteed to work the first time. It's supposed to have a permanent effect, so maybe next time they'll make twins or triplets. By the way, I did get a set of triplets using it and am delighted with them.

Her happiness bar did come up after getting the cat, but it was slow. She has a husband and son now and is very happy, so I'm satified the way it all turned out.

I'm glad it worked out, Lewanda

Hi Ester! I didn't give the baby boost to my single girl. LOL!!! I have several families going on. I sure wish they could have different houses.

Hi Alex! Her happiness level did go up a bit in time. I'm not sure that the cat had anything to do with it though, as she doesn't even seem to know that it's there.

hi Lewanda! lol ok no i have 4 families going right now and none of them have twins or triplets just single babies! oh well, maybe i will start a 5th one!

Wow, that would be a great idea to have different houses....

I had to chime in on this topic again...

Ok, the turtle was completely useless and annoying as I said before. But I replaced it with the cat and I love it. The cat follows the people around and lies down in places where a real cat would lay (middle of the bed, against the wall on the porch, on a step).

I LOVE the turtle!!

It cracks me up poor thing!
