— Cat-Bee's cutout |
Cat-Bee is a Swap-imals toy produced by Playtime Co., who debuted in Chapter 1: "A Tight Squeeze" of Poppy Playtime. The Player is required to make a Cat-Bee toy using the Make-A-Friend machine, and scan the toy to unlock a door to exit the room.
Appearance[]
Cat-Bee is a cat and honeybee hybrid, as her name suggests. She has yellow fur with black stripes and a pair of translucent wings. Two black antennae sprout between her pointed ears. Her head consists of thin black eyebrows, black eyes framed by long lashes, a white muzzle, a small black nose, two black stripes in line with her antennae, and one on each cheek. She has a relatively tiny mouth with a small pink tongue. She also sports a white scruff on her chest and a stubby tail ringed with black and yellow. Her four feet also have white, heart-shaped paw pads and three toes.
Personality[]
Cat-Bee's specific personality is unknown. However, based on her audio lines, it can be presumed she is an extremely sunny and cheery individual who loves having fun and wants others to have fun as well.
However, it can also be presumed she has a darker or protective personality, evident by her creepy audio telling The Player they "need to get out of here", before taking an alarming turn back to her cheerful disposition, states that she was "just kidding", and tells them to "go have fun".
Story[]
Backstory[]
Cat-Bee was first created by Playtime Co. between the late 1980s and early 1990s. She was likely one of the experiments created by Playtime Co. in accordance with the Bigger Bodies Initiative.
Chapter 1: "A Tight Squeeze"[]
Multiple Cat-Bee toys are seen scattered around the factory. Cat-Bee later makes her official appearance as the toy required to be created by The Player in the Make-A-Friend machine in order to leave the room, just before the Vent Chase.
Chapter 2: "Fly in a Web"[]
Cat-Bee does not make a physical appearance in this chapter, rather, appearing in the form of various cutouts throughout the course of the game. One particularly creepy line in her talking cutout is that she tells The Player they 'need to get out of here', but then giggles and says she's 'just kidding' and tells them to 'go have fun'.
Trivia[]
- Cat-Bee appears in the Chapter 1 Trailer by Poppy's Room, where she is shown to be hung in a damaged state. Her left eye is almost closed, and her back right limb and tail appear to have been ripped off. She appears to be completely covered in blood.
- Despite being partially a honeybee, Cat-Bee has only two wings. Real bees, however, have four wings.
- Cat-Bee is the only toy in Chapter 1 who didn't get a poster. She did, however, get two posters in Chapter 2.
- On the cameras on the Playtime Co. Security Feed, in the Main Lobby, a damaged Cat-Bee appeared shortly before being dragged out of view a few days later.
- Cat-Bee is the only toy to not be included in the Digital Collectible Campaign.
- Cat-Bee is the first of the Swap-imals seen in the game, the second being PJ Pug-a-Pillar.
- Cat-Bee is presumably the first out of five of the Kitty Cat Collection, before Candy Cat and possibly CatNap as the third and Yarnaby possibly as the fourth.
- Cat-Bee is one of the 4 toys that the survivors need to assemble in Project: Playtime. The others are Candy Cat, Boogie Bot, and Bron.
- One of Cat-Bee's voice lines is a reference to one of Shakespeare's quotes, "To be, or not to be: that is the question", but she says "bee" instead of "be."
- She was originally going to have an antagonistic role judging by her scrapped monster form for the main game and a scrapped swarm of Cat-Bees in Project: Playtime.
