Over 140 coaching cards, authored by Paula Williams, a Senior Educational Psychologist, accompany the cat.

Green cards discuss bodily responses; Blue introduce coping strategies; Pink ensure fun is a regular part of children’s lives; Yellow encourage reflection on feelings and behaviours; and Grey signal early anxiety signs. Collectively, these cards guide children through their emotional development in an engaging way.
This tool is not just a comforting resource; it encourages dialogue about emotions and strategies for coping, making it a valuable asset in supporting children’s mental health.
