Nature Cat

Nature Cat is an educational animated children's television series that aired from November 25, 2015, to January 2, 2024, on PBS Kids and is aimed at children aged 3–8. The series follows the adventures of four main characters: Nature Cat, Hal the Dog, Daisy the Bunny, and Squeeks the Mouse. The show has been nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award for "Outstanding Writing in an Animated Program". The series debut in November achieved nearly 3.7 million viewers, and by March it has achieved 69 million video streams across online platforms.

In October 2016, Nature Cat was renewed for a second and third season. The second season premiered on January 1, 2018, while the third premiered on April 18, 2019.

On June 5, 2018, the first DVD Onward and Pondward was released. Tomy owns the toy license to Nature Cat, and has released several stuffed animals of the main characters.

Set in the suburban areas of Chicago, the series follows Fred, a yellow cat with dreams of exploring nature, but being a house cat, no instincts for the outside world.. Once his family leaves for the day, he transforms into his alter-ego Nature Cat and sets off on backyard outdoor adventures with his animal friends. Through the learning experiences of the characters, this series intends to encourage children to similarly engage with and develop understanding of nature.

Many primary cast members are better known for their work on the hit NBC comedy sketch show, Saturday Night Live.
