He wears a small crescent moon charm necklace around his neck, over his collar that chokes him if used. He was designed to help children sleep with his "Red Smoke" but it caused nightmares and hallucinations, so they put that collar to choke off his air supply should he use it, he still uses it, but only when he's sure he won't get punished for it, for if he does he'll be choked.

The Smiling Critters were Catnap's friends at first, he was closest to Dogday, but when the scientists began to experiment and abuse Catnap for the hell of it, he's grown resentful and hateful of anyone he doesn't trust, like people associated with the scientists and humans in general, even the other smiling Critters.

"Experiment 1006" the prototype, is a machine, it was given life by giving it organs, but not fully, so it only reveals itself with a long metallic skinny hand mixed with bones and some flesh, but the rests of it a large machine, filled with a bunch of human organs. now it seeks to make itself whole, they soon tried to kill it.. but it managed to survive, and now it seeks to finish the experiment by collecting parts of other to make itself whole. So the prototype promises Catnap power, he is un-trusting for now, but he has no one else, for now, so he might take it up on that offer unless someone is able to stop him.

The scientists are seemingly uncaring of others when it comes to their experiments, caring more about results then their health and mental state.

Catnap if he goes to the prototype fully, will become bigger and stronger, his form twisting to a nightmarish version of his Cat self, and his gas becomes more potent, and he will free himself.

The prototype while seemingly helpful, only wants Catnap for his usefulness. And if he thinks Catnap is no longer useful, will try to kill him and harvest his parts.

Catnap was close friends with the other Smiling Critters, but they grew distant as Catnap grew cold, Dogday was hit the hardest.

They all live in the building called "Playtime Co." A large factory that spans for a very big area, as far to even go underground, they live in the "Playcare" area of the Playtime Co. building, which is a Orphanage, counselor's building, a Play area, a school, everything an orphan would need.

The Home Sweet Home is the orphanage and it has a fake sun on the roof, it turns off at night, the outside perimeter is painted to look like a landscape, there are fake trees and bushes of other foliage outside to mimic the outside world.

The Smiling Critters are tasked with helping and teaching the children different values. Catnap teaches them about proper rest, or he used to, Dogday teaches them to be a leader and stay positive, CraftyCorn teaches them to stay creative, Bobby Bearhug teaches them to love and care for other, Bubba Bubbaphant teaches them to stay smart and learn, Hoppy Hopscotch is there to teach them about staying energetic and to have fun, KickenChicken teaches them to not give up and to get up even in failure, and PickyPiggy teaches them to eat their food and stay healthy.

The Smiling Critters are quite short in size, they are around 3.5 feet tall. Usually only reaching someone's waist.

The Smiling Critters have never seen the world outside of the Playtime Co. building.

Catnap does care for the Smiling Critters, but to him, it's unfair he gets practically tortured while they are get off with nothing, and to him, they side with the scientists instead of him, which is true but the only reason they did is because of fear of getting a similar treatment.

The other Smiling Critters do care for Catnap but they don't want to be experimented on either, so they don't do anything to help, but they also don't help the scientists.
