Frowning Critters의 리더. 캣냅의 반대 버전.[2] 찡그린 다른 동물들과 달리 웃는 표정을 짓고 있다. 캣냅은 매일 잠을 자는 잠꾸러기라면 캣페인은 하루종일 커피를 마시는 소녀. 커피를 끊으면 금단증세로 금세 미쳐버린다고. 그리고 꼬리에 손이 달려 있다. 이름은 고양이를 뜻하는 Cat과 카페인(Caffeine)의 합성어.[3] 목에 건 팬던트는 마치 일식을 떠오르는 듯한 검은 태양 안에 노란 그믐달이다.[4]

Frown Everyday! 시리즈 이후로 오랜만에 프라우닝 크리터즈가 포함된 주제곡이 2025년 12월 26일에 업로드 되었다. 오랜만에 프라우닝 크리터즈가 등장한 것에 다들 반갑다는 평. 프라우닝 크리터즈 외에도 스마일링 크리터즈와 나이트메어 크리터즈, 데이드림 크리터즈도 등장한다. 데이드림 크리터즈의 경우 나이트메어 크리터즈의 2차 창작.
[가칭][2] 다만 색상은 도그데이의 색상인 주황색이다.[3] 그러나 정작 고양이에겐 카페인이 독이라는 걸 생각하면 아이러니 하다. 이는 원본인 캣냅에겐 물론 향이 라벤더라는 걸 생각하면 더더욱.[4] 모종의 창작 애니매이션에서는 랩까지 하는 모습을 보이는건 덤.[5] blue는 파란색이라는 의미를 가지지만 우울함이라는 뜻도 있다.[6] 프라우닝 크리터즈의 리더인 캣페인이 스마일링 크리터즈에게 자신들의 친구들을 소개해주는 걸로 시작하나 우울하고 찡그리는 자신의 멤버들 성격 상 스마일링 크리터즈와 불화가 일어난다. 캣페인은 어떻게든 나아지게 하려고 하나 실패하자 슬퍼한 채 돌아서는데 도그프레스가 캣페인의 손을 잡아주는 걸로 끝난다.[7] 프라우닝 크리터즈들이 자신은 잘나지 않았다며 자학하는 노래. 마지막에 도그프레스가 캣페인 옆에 있어준다. 노래가 끝나자 나이트메어 크리터즈의 멤버인 엘리스터 게이터가 나타나 자신들의 노래가 더 뛰어난다며 잘난 척하는 걸로 끝난다.[8]크래프티콘의 성별이 불명이라 유닉콘의 성별 역시 불명이다. 크래프티콘이 팬아트에서 보통 여자로 그려져 이쪽도 보통 남자로 그려진다.[9] 공개된 지 일주일만에 천만 조회수를 돌파했다.(...)[10] 나오기 전에는 INUbis 채널에서 트레일러가 공개되었었다.[11] 트위터에 게시된 NSFW 팬아트가 신고되어 삭제된 것으로 봐선 확인사살.[12] 물론 Frowning Critters는 단순히 스마일링 크리터즈의 성별 및 성격, 역할 반전이면 이쪽은 완전히 오리지널 컨셉이다.[13] 또한 나이트메어 크리터즈 또한 Frowning Critters와 같이 Daydream Critters라는 2차 창작 캐릭터가 있다.
