CatGhost 1 Birthday/General

**CatGhost 1 Birthday** is the first episode of the *Cat Ghost* webseries. It was uploaded to Youtube on June 15, 2017 as the first video on the *Cat Ghost* Youtube Channel, and marks the beginning of the Intro Saga.

The episode was accompanied by the game *Happybirthday*.

In the episode, Elon and Naarah throw Gideon a birthday party and take him to "Party Country".

## Synopsis

The episode begins with Naarah and Elon surrounding a sleeping Gideon. The two violently wake him up and threaten him with glowing eyes until he agrees with them to attend his "birthday party" (though he says that it is not his birthday).

Naarah and Elon give Gideon a birthday cake that Naarah says was difficult to make due to the lack of hands among them. For a moment, Naarah and Elon reminisce the time when they had corporeal bodies.

Following that, Naarah and Elon take Gideon to "Party Country", an arcade game that Gideon is forced to play. Gideon somehow gets "sucked into" the game and reunites with a mysterious statue. He then wakes up and is relieved to find it was all just a dream, but then sees his birthday cake and realizes that the events really happened. He then waves the viewer goodbye.

## Trivia

* Prior to being updated to have both PC and Mac versions of the games, this episode's Youtube description would read "Play the game Gideon".
* The Azule makes a brief appearance at 2:17 for a single frame in the corner of the arcade machine's screen.
* For one frame at 0:35 a blurry image of Bethany can be seen in the background.
* During one single scene while Gideon is "playing" Party Country, Naarah and Elon mysteriously disappear for no apparent reason.
* The games Gideon wants to play instead are Up Jenkins and Able Whackets.
	+ Up Jenkins involves two teams, with one team attempting to hide a coin from the other team.
	+ Able Whackets was a card game popular with sailors in the 1800s, though the rules of the game itself are unknown. The winner of the game would hit the loser's hands with a handkerchief twisted into a rope.
