Plot Synopsis

NATURE CAT is an animated series that follows Fred, a house cat who dreams of exploring the great outdoors. In each episode, once his family leaves for the day, Fred transforms into Nature Cat, backyard explorer extraordinaire. Nature Cat can't wait to get outside for a day of backyard nature excursions and bravery, but there's one problem: He's still a house cat with no instincts for nature. He's eager and enthusiastic about outside activities, but is at times intimidated by them. With the help of his animal friends, Nature Cat embarks on action-packed adventures that include exciting missions full of nature investigation, discovery moments and humor, all while inspiring children to go outside and "play the show." NATURE CAT premiered on Wednesday, November 25, 2015 on PBS KIDS (check local listings).
