CATS OF CARLTON
Midnight (The OG)
Midnight has lived in Carlton Landing for roughly a decade, which in cat years makes him both a founding father and the unofficial mayor. You’ll spot him everywhere: strolling down Boulevard, supervising the garden, sunning on porches (all of them), and checking in on neighborhood gatherings like he’s conducting inspections.
Please note:
If Midnight visits your porch, that is his porch now.
If he visits your party, that is his party now.
If he stares at you silently, you probably deserved it.
Highly independent but surprisingly friendly, Midnight rules the town with a calm, confident strut. Long live the King.
Feli (street name "Beans")
If Midnight is the King of Carlton Landing, then Feli—known on the streets as Beans—is unquestionably the Princess of Redbud Park. You’ll spot her lounging under golf carts, meandering through porches, or supervising children’s playtime like an unbothered royal chaperone.
Beans is an independent girl with strong opinions and an impeccable sense of timing. She’ll act like she doesn’t need you… then happily accept pets like she’s granting a royal favor.
Friendly, curious, and just mysterious enough, Feli keeps Redbud Park running smoothly — or at least stylishly.
Sylvester
The newest feline resident of Carlton Landing!
You’ll usually find him holding court in Lincoln Square, lounging like he paid HOA dues, or escorting the kids to school with the confidence of a seasoned crossing guard. He takes his role as morning chaperone very seriously — or at least looks like he does.
Friendly enough to make you feel chosen, independent enough to disappear whenever he pleases, The Morris Cat is well on his way to becoming a Carlton Landing icon. Give him a few months and he’ll be running for office.
Calico
Calico wasn't born into royalty—she wandered into it.
Originally one of the many strays attracted to the Chapman's unofficial feeding program (which also serves the local raccoon and opossum populations), Calico decided Carlton Landing was worth staying for.
These days, she rules Park Street from a comfortable distance. Unlike some of the town's more social feline celebrities, Calico is selective with her affection. She prefers the company of her canine sidekick, Rue, and generally views most humans as staff rather than friends.
Residents may spot her conducting neighborhood inspections from a porch, a shaded yard, or a strategic hiding place where she can observe everyone without being observed herself.
