Pet relationship weirdness (feature?)

[Elvie]

When a Sim sells a pet to another Sim, the Sim selling the pet and all other family members take a HUGE relationship hit w/ the pet being sold.  The pet immediately dislikes his former master and everyone else in the household.

Bug?  Feature?

Normal, Do not worry about it.

A fairly obvious feature. Imagine you're the pet.

it's a feature unfortunately,it appears that the pet thinks it's being abandoned ::)I get around this problem by giving the pups away immediately after birth. rather thanselling them after  relationship is formed

Thats kinda weird, most pets I've seen given away stil love the previous owners in real life, maybe these are just weird cats and dogs I've seen though.

Sarah Crittur still seemed to like the owner i moved her in with even after i had to get rid of her to the adoption agency shortly after her pups were born
Danny Crittur suddenly hated her though.....maybe this is because the pups aren't his....
