A pet-raising simulation (sometimes called virtual pets or digital pets [1]) is a video game that focuses on the care, raising, breeding or exhibition of simulated animals. These games are software implementations of digital pets. Such games are described as a sub-class of life simulation game.
The game is similar to The Dog Island, in which the player controls a dog or cat through environments while completing tasks. Before the game starts, the player is asked to choose the animal's breed, gender, and finally, name, all of which have no bearing in the game itself. The player can walk, run, creep, and push rocks as locomotion.

The first-known virtual pet was a screen-cursor chasing cat called Neko. It was rather called a "desktop pet" since at that time the term "virtual pet" did not exist. PF.Magic released the first widely popular virtual pets in 1995 with Dogz, [5] followed by Catz in the spring of 1996, eventually becoming a franchise known as Petz.
