Unknown Pet Pregnancy

_Sandra_

So the other day I got an unexpected pop-up that my sim's cat has given birth to a kitten and I had to name it. The thing is I didn't even know that she was pregnant because none of my sims encouraged her to mate with another cat and I hadn't noticed anything.
I was happy about the kitten but now I'm wondering if that's a normal game feature that I just didn't know about or the result of a mod.? I hope it's in the game because this is realistic actually. My pet is a familiar so sometimes I send her away to bring me things. And the father is a stray that my sim once met.
Has anyone had any random pregnancies in their game with household pets or something like this?

Yes I've had surprise pregnancies with both cats and dogs. Usually after they've done the run away thing. It's quite noticeable when kitty is in the mood for love as they realistically yell the house down

Ooohh so that's what that was.. Well thanks for letting me know, I thought this behavior was caused by a trait or something like that.

Cats with the free spirit trait will go off (like when pets run away but you don't get a notification that they ran away) and there is a chance that females will get pregnant. You don't know until they have the kittens later.
