The main character is a cat named Beluga, accompanied by various recurring characters. The channel also includes miscellaneous gaming videos unrelated to the sketches, featuring games such as Minecraft . Beluga typically uploads a new video every three days.
The channel’s profile picture, which represents the cat character, originates from the 2018 Internet meme "Polite Cat." The image shows a white cat looking directly at the camera, later described as "polite" as the meme gained popularity.[2]
