Catz 5 is a 2002 simulation game developed by Studio Mythos and published by Ubisoft.
Catz 5 allows players to adopt and care for virtual cats. The cats are adopted as babies, and players must raise, train, and watch them grow. When they mature, many will have babies of their own -- now up to four kittens in a litter. Owners will have to sign an adoption pledge, promising to be responsible and give each cat the attention and time it deserves. Spray bottles are available for naughty cats, day and night cycles add realism, five new playscenes are available, five mini-games are included, and Catz 5 also features 24-bit graphics.
Catz 5 is abandonware and no longer sold or supported by its publishers. Files are archived here for these platforms:
It gets to the preview screen but I get the resolution error message every time.
“Petz 5 requires a minimum of 1024 by 786 pixels and a minimum of 256 colours. Please use your desktop settings to adjust these values.”
I’ve tried setting my resolution to 1024×786, and running in XP or windows 7 compatibility mode. I’ve tried it in both reduced colour mode (256) and not. No matter what, it still gives the resolution error and won’t move past this.
