MEET THE CATS (AND HUMANS) OF GATA'S WORLD

Archimedes

ARCHIMEDES invents things

Archimedes is an inventor and a terrible poet who also happens to be an old cat. He works closely with Klein in an effort to unravel the mystery of how Klein awoke one morning with part of his right ear missing.

klein THE CALICO

KLEIN lives in the woods

Klein is a kind-hearted, rare male calico cat who wakes up one day to find his look has dramatically changed—he can't remember a thing, well maybe something, he's not sure.

THE AILUROPHILES

GATA & AGATA share a destiny

The eponymous Gata is obsessed with Greek baking, but that pales in comparison to another obsession she never knew she had! Ask her mother, Agata, about it and she would say she "always knew it was in Gata's blood." Agata, who lives in Santorini, is a bonafide ailurophile. Can you tell? She named her daughter Gáta, Greek for cat.

THE HOUSE CATS

SANTO & RINI LOVE MEXICAN freestyle WRESTLING

Lucha libre. Pizza. Papa Diaz. Just a few of their favorite things. Santo and Rini have had a bumpy past but now live in a house filled with endless hugs and kisses (which has them constantly wiping off the slobber from their fur). They're on a mission and cannot wait to bring you along for the ride!


DESIDERATA

READ ARCHIMEDES' FAVORITE POEM

Desiderata by Max Ehrmann

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
