Curiosity Cat and Data Dog

Picture
Curtis and Beth have two incredible pets: Curiosity Cat and Data Dog. When everyone is home, they enjoy cuddles, treats, and playtime just like ordinary pets. When Curtis and Beth are away on adventures, Curiosity Cat and Data Dog are anything but ordinary. Read on to find out why…

One time, when Curtis and Beth were having an adventure in the mountains of Bora Bora, they met an eccentric scientist (some say she is MAD!). They helped her with her research, and as a gift, she gave them an unusual pair of glasses and a beautiful bracelet for Curiosity Cat, and a cool collar for Data Dog.  Curtis and Beth were grateful for the gifts but do not know about the secret powers these gifts bestow upon their pets.

​Curiosity Cat

Data Dog

Hi! My name is Curiosity Cat and I’m super curious... purrrr! I live in a big old house with a loving family of scientists that have lots and lots of books! I am regular old house cat except I have a pair of AMAZING omni-glasses that give me two puurrfect superpowers when I wear them. One is the ability to read anything in any language! That is why I spend hours reading books, but only in secret, because my human family has no idea I have them.

The second superpower is that I can surf the internet in my mind! Just close my eyes and (pip!) I’m online and whatever questions I think of the internet takes me to information about my question. Cool, eh?! However, while books and the internet can answer lots of questions, sometimes you just have to go look yourself to find the answer and, sometimes, find even more questions.  Did I mention I am super curious?

I also have an amazing bracelet that was recently sent to me by the scientist from Bora Bora. I call it "Thing Changer."  It has nanobots stored inside it that, on my command,  can take something apart atom by atom and then rearranging those atoms into a completely different thing. Like rocks into a boat.  Hence, Thing Changer!  I hope you are curious too and will help me and Data Dog explore the whole, wide world!
​Woof! My name is Data Dog and I live in the same house as Curiosity Cat. She is very smart for a cat! Unlike Curiosity Cat, I can go outside so she is always asking me to do field research to help her answer questions she can’t find answers to in her books or on the internet. I love her, so of course I love doing field research for her.

Lucky for me, my AWESOME photon collar gives me two superpowers. The first one is the little speed gear on my collar that allows me to run super fast, like really fast, like almost the speed of light fast!  When I run super fast I am transported back in time and when I stop running, I “pop” into unknown worlds

The second superpower is a little laser device that comes out of my collar that can make a hard-light copy of anything I shoot it at and store the copy in my collar. When I get back to the house, I can release the hard-light copy of whatever I scanned with the laser and it is just like having the real object in our house! It looks and acts just like the real thing so watch out! One time, it was a hard-light copy of a lion and it chased us around the house!! Lucky for us, hard-light copies only last 2 minutes so the lion just faded into thin air before it could catch us! I hope you will come join me and Curiosity Cat on our adventures. I promise it will be fun!!
