The 2006 and onwards Petz games bear little resemblance to the original Petz
games. Instead of ball-and-line modelled catz and dogz that could grow, breed,
and interact with each other, the 2006 Petz features 3D graphics that can be
retextured, but not remodelled by players due to the software used to create
them (the resulting model files being saved in a format incompatible with other
3D programs).
Seven other games were released along with Catz and Dogz. These were Bunnyz,
Horsez,Tigerz, Dolphinz, Monkeyz, Petz Vet, and Hamsterz Life. The new Petz
games were produced for a range of consoles, including PlayStation 2, Nintendo
Wii, Nintendo DS, Game Boy Advance and PC. On the DS and GBA, the player can
care for up to three catz or dogz, which are unable to breed, whilst on the Wii
and PS2, the player controls a cat or dog on an adventure quest to save the
planet from Ivlet, an evil wolf. In this version the player may customize
his/her cat or dog to their style, respectively. In the PC version, the player
cares for a single pet.
