A pet joins the household as a persistent companion, with an identity, personality, Health and history of its own. Care matters, but Pet Life is designed around the relationship rather than repetitive daily button-pressing.

Use this chapter when: you want to find a pet, understand suitability and care, manage Health or behaviour, plan a move or holiday, or look after a companion through senior Life.

Open My Pets from Command. The Find a pet route presents a stable set of current adoption listings rather than rerolling every time the page opens. Dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, birds and fish can appear, with young, adult and senior animals represented.
Each listing shows the individual animal, age or Life stage, temperament, adoption cost, expected routine cost and whether the current home looks suitable. Housing permission, space, outdoor access and the household all matter. A restricted home can prevent adoption; a less-than-perfect fit is explained rather than hidden.
The adopted pet keeps its name, species, breed or type, appearance, estimated or known birth date, adoption date and personality. Two pets of the same kind can still develop different traits and preferences.
My Pets shows each companion, their current bond, care, Health, behaviour and the household they share.
Routine care is represented as a continuing plan. Feeding, attention, exercise, grooming, habitat care, enrichment or water quality appear only where they suit the species.
| Pet | Typical care emphasis |
|---|---|
| Dog | Feeding, daily exercise, company and grooming |
| Cat | Feeding, play and company, home care and grooming |
| Rabbit or guinea pig | Fresh food, habitat care, safe movement and companionship |
| Hamster | Feeding, habitat care and enrichment |
| Bird | Fresh food, habitat care, social time and stimulation |
| Fish | Feeding, tank care and water quality |
You do not press a feed button every simulated morning. LIVORA processes the established routine at sensible checkpoints and shows whether care is on track, reduced or under pressure. Change the plan when work, study, Health, money or the household makes the old routine unrealistic. Paid help can cover part of the practical load where available.
A pet's bond grows from consistent care and meaningful moments, not passive time alone. Routine costs reach Money without turning affection into a score.
The profile describes the pet in natural terms such as affectionate, curious, calm, confident, playful, shy, social or independent. Preferences and habits remain stable enough for the animal to feel like the same companion.
Dogs have the broadest training choices; birds have a smaller suitable set; fish do not receive unrealistic training controls. Training can be player-led or use a paid professional. It takes time and consistency, can add to the care commitment, and may pause while a Health problem needs priority.
Behaviour issues can create a real decision and may stop Smart Time Advance until a plan is chosen. Suitable training or care can improve the situation over time. The system does not manufacture a problem simply because several quiet days passed.
The pet profile keeps identity, appearance, age, personality, bond and later care information together.
