Habitat

Unicats live in a magical country called Catland. This is a sparkly place full of waterfalls, floating yarn balls, and soft pillows. Most Unicats build cozy little nests in cupcake-shaped trees or curl up inside warm teacups for naps. The weather in Catland is always “purrfect,” with just enough sunshine and gentle breezes to keep a Unicat’s fur fluffed and fabulous. Visitors to Catland should be prepared to follow the local rule: naps are legally required at least twice a day.

What It Eats

The Unicat has a very particular diet and refuses to eat anything that doesn’t sparkle. Its favorite food is the rare and wriggly rainbow gummy worm, which grows naturally in the licorice-rich soil of Catland. Unicats are expert worm-finders and can sniff out a patch of gummy worms from half a meadow away.

How It Moves

Unicats are graceful and mysterious creatures that have more than one way of getting around. They usually prance or bounce, with their paws barely touching the ground, as if walking on invisible pillows. When they’re excited, they do cartwheels or perform mid-air twirls, often accompanied by tiny sparkles. Their horns allow them to teleport short distances, but only if they’ve had at least one nap and half a gummy worm. They are also known to ride on the backs of friendly unicorns when going on longer journeys or just for fun.

Fun Facts

• The first unicat was discovered by 3 friends named Elena, Adriana and Kyon when they followed a trail of glittery pawprints through a pile of laundry and accidentally tumbled into a hidden portal behind the dryer—straight into Catland. This is the picture Elena drew of that unicat.

• Unicats are best friends with unicorns and love to braid their manes.

• When a Unicat purrs, flowers bloom nearby—even if it’s winter.

• If you see a Unicat wink at you, it probably wants to tell you a secret joke.

• They hold weekly tea parties where everyone must wear a bow tie, even the teacups.
