The Menagerie is Ray's folk-art zoo: jewel-toned creatures with big hearts and zero self-doubt. A bear family that takes breakfast very seriously. Cats and dogs in rare agreement. A squirrel planning ahead. Every animal here is entirely itself — which is rather the point. Feed them attention; they thrive on it.

Baby Bear is the newest member of Ray's bear family, and clearly the one in charge. A mug and a notebook, sized for morning cocoa and big plans — and the whole family is here too: Papa, Mamma and Uncle each keep their own.

Cats & Dogs achieves what dinner tables cannot: perfect harmony. On flip flops and a sherpa blanket, the ancient rivalry settles down for a nap.
