    When a game allows the player to pet animals encountered in the environment. Some games are all about this.

    Short summary describing this concept.

    Animal Petting last edited by Jeshibu on 01/07/23 05:49AM View full history

    Pets or animals, in general, can be stroked, washed and/or fed due to player action. With the advent of touchscreen and motion controls support, this extended to the player being able to interact with these creatures more directly in console and portable titles alike. This made games which are dedicated petting simulations more viable.

    See Groping Mechanic for when the target is specifically humanoid.

    See the Can You Pet The Dog Twitter page for an ongoing catalogue.
