Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
If you're not able to own a real pet, especially a Cat or a Dog then Catz 5 could be the answer! Adopt a virtual pet, let it live in your PC, run across your Desktop, let it visit faraway Playscenes or play at home in the kitchen, backyard or salon, or create your own tailor-made Playscenes.
You can feed it, play with it, love it and breed it. Adopt as many as you like, but you must take care of them all--neglected Catz run away and then you're in trouble. Did you know Catz have tails to help them balance? That their fur is soft to keep them warm and encourage owners to pet them? They have large, expressive eyes, twitching whiskers and they have agile paws for jumping, climbing, stalking and running. Catz are little kittens when you first adopt them and then they grow up over time into adult Catz.
Although aimed at young children, this package is most beneficial if they can read, in order for them to follow on-screen directions. This program is therefore most suitable for a minimum age of 7-8 years. Installation takes a while, and help may be needed from adults as monitor settings may need to be adjusted, and it's necessary to make sure Acrobat Reader 5.0 is installed so that the excellent User Guide can be accessed. It is absolutely essential to study this before playing with Catz 5 and it is a good idea to print it out for easy access. The excellent manual makes it easy for children to understand the package.
Now comes the fun! Choose from one of 15 breeds of Catz, from Alley Catz to Tabbies, from Persians to Siamese, with all their different personalities, likes and dislikes--but don't adopt too many, as they all have to be exercised, fed, loved, medicated when sick, brushed, played with, rewarded for good behaviour and squirted with water when they misbehave. Train them to do tricks, and allow them to earn toys as rewards (balls, pillows, stuffed parrots and so on). If you become confused remember to click on the Help Menu Bar.
Included is a Web Fun Pack, containing Petz clipart, animations and backgrounds, all Internet-ready to enable you to create your own Web pages. This particular version contains new features, but owners of previous Catz can bring their adopted Petz into Catz 5. This is compatible with Dogz 5, allowing your Dogz and Catz to play together, to create more breeds, win more toys and, ultimately, have more fun. --Susan Naylor

I've had this game for several months and loved it. Then I installed the XP SP2 and sound no longer worked. This is the only major bug that I have encountered with the game, I would like to note that a programming bug is different from a virus. This game contains no viruses.
Very dissapointed at not finding a solution to this bug I put the game to one side. Now thanks to the internet I've finally found a solution:
Very dissapointed at not finding a solution to this bug I put the game to one side. Now thanks to the internet I've finally found a solution:
"The solution is easy, go to your Petz 5 installation folder and rename setupapi.dll to something like setupapi.bak - Petz 5 will now load without any problems."
This solved my sound problem and I can now play with my feline friends once again.
Catz is a wonderful game that provides a welcome desktop distraction even for grown up players. It doubles as a screensaver where you favourite feline critters wander around the screen playing with their favourite toys.
There is also a good selection of fan sites with pictures, info and even some unusual characters that you can download and put into your own game.
The game itself comes with a program that helps you put together a simple web page complete with pictures, about your favourite pet so all you have to do is upload the files to some free webspace and you can share your pets with the world.
You won't want to sit for hours playing but you don't have to. This is light hearted fun that acts much like a desktop toy providing a few minutes of distraction in your day.
Simply purrrfect!

Catz 5 is a fun game. However I also had Catz 4 before my computer was updated for Windows XP and it stopped working. This game is very much the same.
Pros:
*New breeds and old favourites!
*Now have litters of kittens instead of just one
*New mini Games
*Night and day instead of just day
Cons:
*Too much the same as Catz 4
*No manual with the game/Arcobat reader guide too vague
*No in-game help
So my verdict is: if you haven't played Catz 4 before and you like looking after Virtual pets, this is your game. If you already have Catz 4, don't bother as is all too much the same.
