We're a bunch of majestic animals, sharing our adventures and wisdom! We were all living in the wild outdoors until humans scooped us up and showed us the warmth and safety of indoor habitation. What makes it exciting moment to moment is our mindset: "Zero fluffs given!"

It’s Not Easy Being Me

Cheddar, an orange cat, sits with his head hanging low.

It's not easy being me
Having to spend each day
The color of tangerine
When I think it might be nicer
Bein' black or white or gray
Or something much more neutral like that

Cheddar, and orange cat, sits in a cardboard box.

Cheddar, and orange cat, sits in a cardboard box.

It's not easy being me
It seems you blend in
With so many of the boxes you sleep in
And people tend to pass you over
‘Cause you're not standing out
Like galloping cats in the hallway
Or a grumpy Puccini

Cheddar, an orange cat, sleeps in a cardboard box.

But me, I’m just a baby
And me, I am cute and friendly-like
And me, I can be scared or very brave
And curious like any other cat in this house

When me is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why
But, why wonder? Why wonder?
I'm me and I'll do fine
I am Cheddar
And I think that’s who I want to be

Cheddar, an orange cat, looks straight at the camera.

I’m a big boy, but sometimes it’s easier to be the baby.
I love snuggling with my human mommy.
