Trivia / Catena

• Author Guest Spot/Creator Cameo: Both Tracy and DeBray have appeared occasionally in the strip — usually by themselves, although Tracy has shared a strip with Belle at least once. Tracy once even appeared in a Darth Vader mask.
• Author Avatar: Treiss began as one of these, while Hank is loosely based on DeBray. This factors into Treiss's crush on Hank.
• Real Life Writes the Plot: All of the main cats in the cast are based on pets that artist Tracy had when she lived with her parents; the real-life Ivy still lives with her and DeBray.
  • The reason Beau and Bryony are angels is because their real-life counterparts passed away prior to the creation of the series.
  • The character of Ivy is blind because the real Ivy is too.
