Pet Traits Defined

From TS3wiki

The Pets Expansion Pack brings animals to your neighborhoods. Like Sims, animals can have their own unique behaviours based on the Traits they have defined. Pets can start out with 3 traits but this can be increased by learning 'trained traits' These additional traits need some work to achieve and can be lost if a conflicting trait is learned later.
