Nature Cat

The Nature Cat, (a.k.a Fred) is one of the four main protagonists of the PBS Kids original series Nature Cat, along with Daisy, Hal, and Squeeks. In the absence of his owners, Fred transforms into his alter-ego Nature Cat, narrating himself as such throughout the show. He is the main protagonist in leading a group of three other animals, frequently using the expressions "Tally-Ho!" and "Onward and Yonward!" when initiating and continuing his adventures, lending to his optimistic and cheerful attitude in encouraging enthusiasm for the natural world. Taran Killam appraises Nature Cat as a positive character for children, describing his handling of adversity as “A great example of when you fall down you get back right up… and try it again”. He will occasionally drop from his ‘Nature Cat’ persona where, much like a regular house cat, he can suddenly become nervous or frightened. This can include having to interact with water, lamenting “Why does it always have to be water?”, but in these situations he ultimately ends up finding confidence to persist.

Nature Cat is voiced by Taran Killam.

History
In the episode Call It A Night, he remembers the time that his hat has been with him since he was a kitten. and in The Return Of Bad Dog Bart, he brings a emotional flashback when the family's toys had been stolen and Gwendolyn had to leave to find Bad Dog Bart to find her family's toys.

Appearance
He is a pale yellow cat with a over-sized head, and a pink nose. He wears a green hat on his head with a red feather attached to it, and a green shirt with orange lines and brown sleeves, and a thick orange line going across it, making it look like he's wearing a sash, and an orange belt on his waist, brown pants, and light red shoes.

As a kitten, his fur color is darker, his hat is small, his nose is bigger, he wears a lighter shirt with the red line and wears brown pants and pink cheeks, and his shoes are a darker color. He also speaks with a lisp.
