Louis is an affectionate orange chaos gremlin fueled by curiosity, zoomies, and zero self-control—but somehow still a 12 year old baby.

What is America's Favorite Pet?
Learn MoreLouis believes every object in the house is a toy—especially things he’s absolutely not supposed to touch. Crinkly toys, rogue strings, and imaginary enemies at 3 a.m. are his favorites. Treats are fine, but chaos is his true love language.
Louis operates with the confidence of a cat who has never experienced consequences. He’s equal parts fearless explorer, professional troublemaker, and affectionate cuddle bug—often all within the same five minutes. His orange brain cell clocks in late, but his personality always shows up early.
Because Louis represents the unfiltered, orange-cat chaos we all secretly love. He’s ridiculous, affectionate, dramatic, and endlessly entertaining. America deserves a favorite cat who reminds us that life is better when you sprint down the hallway for no reason and demand cuddles immediately after.
