These were the first games to allow the player to adopt multiple pets, which could interact with one another. Magic went on to then release Dogz 2 and Catz 2 (1997). This naming convention is followed in all variants of the game: Dogz 2 and Catz 2 combined are called 'Petz 2', and so on. The two games allowed for the adoption of one pet per install and could not be combined, but are often lumped together as 'Petz 1' in community terminology. Magic in 1995, with Catz released a year later. Dogz was the very first Petz game to be released by P.F.Several iterations of the games were released throughout the series' history. From there, they decided to make the 'cutest, least offensive game possible,' and the series was born. Magic had received complaints about the violence of their previous game. Popular activities within the fandom include hexing (modding petz), breeding and showing, with fans also creating videos and artwork of petz. Not all members of the Petz Community would describe their community as a fandom, however, and instead just prefer to refer to it as the Petz Community. The fandom is collectively known as the 'Petz Community' or PC. The community sometimes calls these Unbisoft games 'Ubipetz.' Ubisoft produced a line of 'petz' games only similar in title, however they are a completely different line of games. The community does not consider games released by Ubisoft after Petz 5 as a part of the fandom. Ubisoft acquired the Petz series in the 2000s. There are two spin-off games (Oddballz and Babyz) that are sometimes included within the Petz fandom depending on who is asked, as they are based on the same A.I. The title 'Petz' refers to the combination of two games, Dogz and Catz, which revolve around adopting puppies and kittens, feeding and playing with them, and other activities like training and breeding them. Petz is a fandom that covers the Petz computer games released by P.F.
