Episode Guide
The official CatDaily manga season
Each episode is funny first, but every joke points toward real cat wisdom: enrichment, safety, food awareness, litter-box respect, behavior clues, and gentle care.
The main cast
Editor Whiskers
The dignified orange-and-white newsroom boss. Calm under pressure, severe about deadlines, and suspicious of printers.
Mochi the Intern
Small, fast, adorable, and operationally disastrous. Mochi believes every object is either news, food, or a toy.
Madame Tuna
Glamorous and impossible to impress. Reviews aroma, texture, and whether dinner arrived with proper ceremony.
Professor Purr
Explains cat behavior with chalkboard diagrams, patient wisdom, and occasional disbelief at human confusion.
The Litter Box Mayor
Runs on one platform: scoop daily, respect privacy, clean the box, and stop pretending public works does not matter.
The Vacuum Monster
Loud, rolling, suspicious, and never cleared by the Nap Committee.
Season One episode guide
The Cat Takes Over the Keyboard
Editor Whiskers sits on the keyboard during a deadline. Mochi interprets the resulting gibberish as experimental journalism.
2The Empty Food Bowl Emergency
The bowl contains food at the edges, but emotionally it is empty. Madame Tuna convenes an emergency tasting panel.
3The Litter Box Press Conference
The Litter Box Mayor announces a cleanliness policy. Mochi asks whether “scoop daily” applies to interns.
4The 3 AM Zoomies Investigation
A mysterious hallway thunderstorm wakes the newsroom. Professor Purr explains energy, play, and tiny midnight lightning.
5The Cardboard Box Real Estate Boom
Box condos, box lofts, and box mansions flood the market. Editor Whiskers refuses an expensive bed in favor of prime cardboard.
6The Vet Visit Negotiation
Dr. Pawprint explains why carriers, checkups, and health clues matter. The cats demand treaty language and extra treats.
7The Vacuum Monster Villain
Threat level: loud. Reporters scatter, Editor Whiskers stands firm, and the under-couch bunker becomes crowded.
8Professor Purr Explains Cat Logic
Kneading, loafing, scratching, slow blinks, tail flicks, and zoomies become a full chalkboard lecture for confused humans.

The season arc
Season One begins with the newsroom itself: Editor Whiskers trying to publish a serious daily cat newspaper while Mochi turns every assignment into a physical incident. The middle episodes widen the world into public policy, food criticism, late-night investigations, health basics, and indoor enrichment.
By the end of the season, CatDaily becomes more than a joke. It becomes a funny educational framework: every silly cat headline leads back to better care, better observation, and a better indoor kingdom.

Closing credits
The CatDaily manga universe works because every cat owner already knows the truth: the cat is writing stories all day. The food bowl story, the box story, the nap story, the zoomie story, the window story, the “why is the door closed” story — it is all there.
CatDaily simply puts a press hat on it and calls it journalism.
