(1) I‘m having a problem with a pregnant pet. Her name is Nicole and she got pregnant, even before the other petz which already have their kittens, grow up. It‘s about the game Catz 3. I‘m playing that on Vista. She just don‘t want to have the baby. I tried the speed up time thing, but that really did not work. I set the time to July 28 1991 and than back to July 28, 2010. I also got forward to 2011. I‘m afraid to go further, because otherwise I could get a problem with my Virus protector. Before and a few days after she got pregnant, I also speeded up the time. And after that I did go back to the normal date. Can that be the problem? If so, than I think I totally ruined this pet now. (By going from 2010 to 2011. From 2011 to 2010. From 2010 to 1991 and back!) I also tried to make a copy of the pet, the copy does not get the kitten eigther. I really don‘t know what to do with her anymore! Does anyone know any sulution? (Maybe without using the time) I‘m not very good with computers. I thought maybe there is anything wrong with her file. Is it maybe possible to change something about the file? I hope anyone knows what to do with this pet. I wanted to let the kitten of the couple breed (If it was a girl) with an other mixed pet. But because of this problem, the other baby is already grown up. (2) I already made a new female cat for Bill, which is the father. Just in case the other pet can not be helped anymore. (Called her Nicolé) But because I was busy with the time, that pet is adopted on 5 August 2010! Off cours she is not grown up yet. But could she get in trouble too with the later pregnancy because her adopted date is not right? By the way, there are no downloaded petz/things in my game. That didn‘t work anyway. So, that can‘t be the problem.

1. You aren't supposed to speed up the time while you have a pregnant cat because that causes a stuck pregnancy, so yes, that did cause it. Try looking for somebody to get her unstuck.
2. I doubt it.

Do you have petzA installed? I don't really know if this could fix the problem, but it's worth a try. If you don't know what petzA is, go here: www.sherlocksoftware.org/page.php?id=6hope this helped

Before the game did not work I tried to install PetzA. But this coused the problem that the game would not even open anymore! It downloaded me an other version of Catz 3. The only way was to delete PetzA & uninstall Catz 3. I tried to contact the owner of where I got PetzA from. No respond about how I could make it work. Now I’m afraid to download PetzA again because I really don‘t want to get problems with Catz 3 anymore. It‘s working now on my computer, which took me lots of time to figure that out. I‘m afraid my game would crash again with PetzA. I was thinking about that. I know it‘s possible to send Catz files to someone else by email. But if I find someone who wants to do that, can I put her than back in my game with the kitten? I must say, this afternoon I was seeking on the Internet to Petz sites. I also found sites with this sulution with stuck pregnancy. I contacted a few people. But the chance is very big that those sites were very old. Thanks for the tip.

I see... I have vista & petz 5 and it works well. As far as I remember I had problems with it too, when I installed it for the first time. I think it went into the program files folder first and after I put the game out of it, everything was fine. Oh, and yes, you can put the cat and her kittens back into your game. tip: try modifying your post, instead of double-posting

Put the game out of Program files? Would that not mess up the game? I wanted to modify the first post and add a file in Attachment. But that option was not there. So, I added the file from the pet in this post. Attachments:filename (59.07 KB)

Done! Bill was a 1st gen B+W Short-hair right? I had to change Nicole, and then check who she was bred to so she would have the same kitten. But she'll be the same as she was in your game, but she'll have a kitten! You can download her right away. Attachments:filename (76.88 KB)

Well you should always make a backup of your files, just in case they get damaged. I don't know what the program folder does to older games, but petz wasn't the only one that didn't work properly, when I installed it in there. I would try to fix your pet, but I'm not on my computer right now and I only have petz 5... if I convert the file, does it still work in petz 3 afterwards? EDIT: alright I saw that bubblegum fixed it it just takes too long to type on my ipod...

^ If you convert it to P5, It won't work in P3. All fixed anyways, but I'm sure you'd probably do a better job!
EDIT: Lol, I missed that edit you just put.

Thank you so much! I‘m so happy now. And yes, I made a backup from the files. If she gets pregnant again, will she not be stuck then? (There‘s NO time speed comming anymore!)

I don't know, I doubt it. Don't ever mess with the time on your computer again. It can seriously mess it up. >.> I'm glad you like her!

By the way, there are no downloaded petz/things in my game. That didn‘t work anyway. So, that can‘t be the problem. That's because you have the Dutch version of the game, as I saw in your other thread. Most downloaded content won't show up at all in that version.

Oh, yes I could not select a different language. And I don‘t want to download the English version. It works fine now, I don‘t want to mess that up with downloads.
I‘m getting Dogz 5 also. That‘s too a Dutch CD-rom. Is it possible to chose an other language with Dogz 5? But anyway, I never played the game with dogs. That would be pretty excited for me.
Yes, I saw that. And because I‘m not very handy with computers I did not want to go to far in time. If I would mess up my internet protections my father would want to know why I speeded up time.
He finds every games with "Petz" for little children. That‘s why I would better not talk with him about it.

You can see the Dutch and the English versions as two different games. So, with the English version you can only choose English, and with the Dutch version you can only choose Dutch. ^^;
