Before the game is played for the first time there player has to put up with a couple of information screens, this and one promoting Catz 4. Then comes the load screen

The start of the game. At this point the player has not adopted a pet, two breeds are initially available

A puppy has been adopted.<br>The game communicates with the player by opening up new windows like this that cannot be ignored

When a puppy is selected it is named and then adopted. here the player has already adopted the Scottie dog, the black one, and can adopt the Chihuahua too

Here we are with our adopted puppy at home.<br>There are active areas in the background to look out for, for example the switch on the wall turns on the fire

There's an in-game option to take pictures of your pet. These can be used with the Petz Publisher

The Gypsy Circus background and we've found a playmate
