First discussion post on here so sorry if it's wrong category or anything. Saw an article online about an achievement in Hades for petting Cerberus and it got me wondering what other games had achievements for petting animals. Dogs, cats, dinosaurs, doesn't matter. Please share any games you've come across with petting achievements.

Dave the Diver has an achievement based on feeding the cat, and you can also pet the cat, but it isn't exactly letting the cat achievement.

I bet some of the take-care-of-pet games have those.

There was this one game I played called Restless Soul that I could swear had an achievement for petting the dog but I checked the achievements and despite a couple of them being related to the dog character none of them mention petting them, I guess my memory just mixed it up or something because petting the dog was relevant to the actual plot.

I mean it definitely should be an achievement cause who doesn't want to pet dogs?

Ghostwire: Tokyo has an achievement for petting any of the cats or dogs in the game. You can also feed the dogs, but you don't get an achievement for that.

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Revita, where you get an achievement if you pet the cat enough times. I figured this out by pure chance lol

I did find this, however. which will show you every single achievement with "pet the" in the name or description >:)
https://completionist.me/steam/achievements?display=list&sort=created&order=desc&search=pet+the

Another search term you could use is "pet a", and of course "pet" also works, but you're going to get a bunch that aren't that, including words with pet in the name, like compete. Thanks for making the topic, otherwise I wouldn't have looked this up. Time to add a ton of new games to my wishlist lol

I think my favorite is "Never pet a cat for a full playthrough."

I wanted to say "Chants of Sennaar", but recalled there sadly was no achievement for petting the only pettable cat :( BUT it's still worth to mention that TWO cats are listed as Voice Actors in credits ^^

The internet just needs a big list of games where you can pet/hug/hold animals lol

The cutest I've seen so far is in Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

That's funny, I've just been playing Animal Shelter and they have quite a few achievements for petting the animals :)

So does Pets Hotel

I remember these ones:
Loddlenaut - Pet a Loddle
Lost Nova - Pet every bunny in town
ToriDori - Pet the cat in the Captain's Cabin
Signs of the Sojourner - Become BFF's with Thunder
Wobbledogs

I think these also count as "petting" for clicking on them, Dogs Organized Neatly, Cats Organized Neatly
