Bio

Poppy is a kitten who is Lara's favorite stuffed animal and best friend amongst them. In the series, she walks upright and she talks to her stuffed animal friends with her trademark neckerchief on in the stories. She loves to dance, has a great big imagination and has great adventures. She is an imagineer, adventurer, dreamer and devoted friend. She is the bravest, adventurous youngest kitten heroine in the whole wide world. Her friends are Mo the mouse, Zuzu the Dalmatian puppy, Alma the bunny rabbit and an owl named Owl, except the villainous badger, Egbert. Poppy has an uncle called Big Cat and her favorite stuffed animal and best friend is a blue teddy bear named Bear. On her birthday treasure hunt, she wears a pink hat and serves as the Birthday Captain Poppy. In the first Disney movie, their grand finale at the Snowy Circus is her dance routine called "Happy Dancing" because she loves to tap dance while humming "doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo" really softly. Poppy loves to send purrs and meows to her friends all over the world. Her laugh sounds like a loud, funny witch’s or jester’s cackle. In the winter, she wears a yell and green winter hat with green pompoms on it. Poppy Cat’s favorite instruments are a pair of bongos and a recorder. During the end credits of the 2013 Disney film The Poppy Cat Movie: Poppy's Big Extraordinary Adventure, we hear her and Alma play their recorders on Joanie Bartels' hit single "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."
