Penguin, the coffee-addicted flightless bird, and of course, Kiwi, the knife-wielding pink ball of vicious energy. When it's time to head home you'll be sure to leave feeling warm and floofy!''

First a duck asks him if he's having a bad day and he says that, no, he's actually having a great day. Then, a snake asks if he's in a funk, and the toad says no. Finally, a penguin enters and the toad preemptively says, "This is just what I look like, alright?! I'm actually quite happy!", surprising the penguin.

-->-- '''Matt Tarpley''', in the webcomic's "About" paragraph

A cutesy Gag-per-Day webcomic about cutesy animals going through life that can be found [[https://www.catscafecomics.com here]]. The titular cat owns the titular cafe, but the cat is just a little (if frequent) part of the fun. Despite the animals, the webcomic is no SugarBowl as a regular theme to it is the daily trials and tribulations of its characters, like suffering from anxiety or depression - but it's hardly negative about these things, and takes its self-applied label of being a heartwarming comic seriously.

----
!!This webcomic provides examples of the following:
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Snake and Bear seem to have a thing for each other, but they're both too shy for any requiting.
* BaitAndSwitch: The regular use of Goose. Kiwi gets this sometimes too to play into [[CuteAndPsycho the slight implications of it always, always having a knife]].
* CuteAndPsycho: {{Downplayed}} by Kiwi, who is a funny little red kiwi bird that [[PokemonSpeak only speaks by saying it's own name]]...and unsettlingly likes to constantly hold a kitchen knife for some reason.
