Relive the chaos. Meet the cast.

What is Crittertude?

Crittertude is a full-color photo-webcomic universe where household pets star in epic storylines: A lazy orange fat cat with time-travel problems, a fluffy white dog, a sneaky black cat with antisocial tendencies, a green cheek conure, two mischievous finches, and a squiggly ferret destined to save the world, all guided by the ultimate question, "Yes, but who will feed me?" Across hundreds of strips from 2009-2011, everyday life flips into adventure-alien abductions, mechanical finches, diabolical plots, and the eternal search for shiny things-told with humor, warmth, and the kind of pet chaos that transforms the ordinary into the unforgettable.

Fans have felt a strong connection to each character over the years: Laughing, tearing up, and realizing how the unconditional love of a pet can reshape our lives in ways we never expected.
