Bee and PuppyCat is a fun American animated web series. It was created and written by Natasha Allegri and directed by Larry Leichliter. The show is about a young woman named Bee, voiced by Allyn Rachel. She meets a strange creature called PuppyCat, whose voice is made by a computer program called Vocaloid Oliver.

Bee takes in PuppyCat, who looks like a mix between a cat and a dog. Together, they take on weird temporary jobs to earn money for Bee's rent. These unusual jobs send them on adventures to strange worlds far out in space. The show is made by Frederator Studios.

The series first started with a short pilot episode in 2013. After that, fans helped fund the first season through Kickstarter. This season was released between 2014 and 2016. A second season, called Bee and PuppyCat: Lazy in Space, was released on Netflix in 2022. There were also comic books based on the show published from 2014 to 2016.

Story of Bee and PuppyCat

Bee is a happy young woman who often loses her jobs. One day, a mysterious creature named PuppyCat falls from the sky and lands on her head. Bee decides to take PuppyCat home. When PuppyCat sees that Bee has no money and no job, he uses his powers to teleport them to another dimension.

In this new place, they get jobs from TempBot, a giant, smart television screen. Even though these temporary jobs can be dangerous, Bee discovers she's good at them. The jobs also pay well, which helps her not worry about the risks.

A big mystery in the show is PuppyCat's past. There are hints that he might be a space outlaw who was changed by the Space King. The Space King was angry because the outlaw was in love with his daughter. The magic meant to capture him instead turned him into a monster, and he escaped.

Another part of the story is Bee's feelings for her friend Deckard. Deckard is a great chef who seems to like Bee too. But his feelings make it hard for him to decide if he should go to cooking school.

In one episode, "Donut," it's revealed that Bee is a cyborg (part human, part robot). This news surprises Deckard. At the end of that episode, Deckard decides to leave home to go to culinary school. He is still thinking about Bee's secret and his feelings for her.

Main Characters

• Bee (voiced by Allyn Rachel): Bee is a 22-year-old woman. She meets PuppyCat when he falls on her head after she loses her job. When she and PuppyCat go to Fishbowl Space, TempBot gives her different outfits and tools for each mission, like a sword or pockets full of glitter. Bee also really dislikes water. In one episode, she refuses to go into the ocean, and in another, she doesn't want to take a bath. Later, it's revealed that Bee is a cyborg.
• PuppyCat (voiced by Oliver): This is the mysterious creature that is both a dog and a cat. He is Bee's companion. We don't know much about PuppyCat's past, but he can "talk" and can even be used as an energy cannon in battles.
• TempBot: This robot is also called AssignBot. TempBot acts like a temporary job agency for Bee and PuppyCat. A different actor voices this character in each episode.
• Deckard (voiced by Kent Osborne): Deckard is Bee's friend, neighbor, and used to work with her. He is a prep cook at the cat café where Bee used to work. He has romantic feelings for Bee. Deckard has different colored eyes. He leaves home to go to culinary school at the end of Season 1.
• Cass (voiced by Ashly Burch): Cass is Deckard's sister and roommate. She used to work with Bee and Deckard at the cat café. Now, Cass works as a freelance computer programmer.
• Cardamon (voiced by Alexander James Rodriguez): Cardamon is a young boy who is Bee's landlord. He acts very grown-up and business-like for his age. He takes care of his mother, who is in a coma, and he calls her a "princess."
• Toast (voiced by Terri Hawkes): Toast is a wrestler from Cass's old wrestling team. She is upset that Cass left the team because it made Toast the lowest-ranking member.
