Tabby Cat 	§650 	The SimValley Tabby Cat is intelligent, alert and, like all cats, more confident than you will ever be. 	Pet Pals, Box Lady
Scottish Hoose Cat 	 	The House Cat is utterly dependable and loyal, though quite independent. These cats make a good pet for someone who understands their feisty nature. 	Pet Pals, Box Lady
Tooken Terrier 	 	This little guy is a balanced, wiry-haired monkey-like toy dog whose intelligence and attitude make it a great house pet. 	Pet Pals, Box Lady

Lonely Iguana 	§1,200	This poor lizard washed ashore three years ago and was found by Olde Salty, who swears to this day that it spoke to him and promised to lead him to buried treasure. 	Pet Pals, Sideshow Pets
Miniature Llama 	 	This odd creature escaped from VirtuChem Labs a few months ago, though the lab vociferously denies this. 	Pet Pals, Sideshow Pets
Pot-bellied Pig 	 	A cute, compact swine from the far east. One of the smartest animals in the world, these pigs make wonderful and playful companions. (Warning: Do not leave children alone with a pot-bellied pig.) 	Sideshow Pets
Pot-bellied Moon Swine	 	A cute, compact, green swine from the far, far... from outer space actually. Not much is known about the pot-bellied moon swine, but if you bring a couple green eggs within 100 feet of this poor dear, you'll be arrested for sure.	Moon Base Zeta
==Splicer Island Pets==
While players in The Urbz: Sims in the City (DS) cannot purchase pets in the same way that their counterparts in the GBA sims games can, they are rewarded with their pet mechanics being greatly expanded. Players interact with their pets in a similar system as conversations with NPCs and can build relationships with their pets. Pets can also follow the player around. Although, pets tend to not mesh well with certain mechanics in the game and can cause crashes if the player, for example, tries to use the time machine on King Tower or the hoverboard. 
To obtain a pet, the player must collect amber around town and complete two minigames in the basement of the Splicer Island Lab (unlocked during Mission S, Chapter 4, It's Alive!). The type of pet is decided upon completing the Amber Extraction minigame, and the exact qualities of said pet ('rarity', often displayed by the color of pet) is decided upon finishing the DNA Splicer minigame. Each player can have a maximum of three pets at a time.
