Kai introducing Caterpie

Caterpie was Greg and Kai's dog from 2017 to 2019.

About

Caterpie was introduced by Kai on September 5, 2017 with the video "WE GOT A NEW PUPPY! (Meet My Dogs)". He says Caterpie is a cocker spaniel mix and they got her off of Craigslist. ($ource)

Many viewers began question why Greg and Kai adopted another dog since Greg had been complaining for months that he and his family were struggling to survive due to the Adpocalypse and due to the IRS being in the process of auditing himself and Kai. At this point, Greg and Kai already had two other dogs, LeeLu and Dobbs.

Greg replied to the criticism with the video "GET A JOB ONISION!", which was uploaded September 7, 2017. Greg holds up Caterpie and says people make him out to be a snake. People would say he was holding this puppy to be manipulative, to make them feel bad for him. He says really he grabbed this puppy because the dogs were howling downstairs and he needed them to stop so he could record this video. He says people have been asking why did he get a puppy if he's having financial trouble? He says having a puppy in videos never hurts, so there is a business use for it. He says he's not writing it off as a business expense, but there is a financial benefit to having a puppy. He uses his "Dog Thoughts" series as an example. He says he got the puppy as a trade off. An actress he works with, Madison took the two Guinea Pigs they had so that freed up some of their pet expenses. He says because of the financial availability and because he has demands as a parent from people they parent, they got a puppy. He uses the rest of the video to explain why he won't get a job and complains about the IRS.

Throughout the video, Greg never calls Caterpie by name. He just holds her up and refers to her as "this puppy" and "it". Caterpie cries throughout the video. ($ource)

Caterpie in the gated area

For the next few months, Caterpie was featured in a few videos such as Kai's February 15, 2018 video "PUPPYS FIRST BATH". ($ource) After that, Caterpie was not featured in any more videos, but could be seen in Greg's videos walking around and doing various activities.

Viewers noticed in Greg's videos it seemed Greg and Kai kept their dogs in a gated area in their backyard. The area always seemed to have trash in it.
