Mylo the Cat

Mylo the Cat is the main protagonist of The Shortest Video on YouTube. He is a cat who is apparently very well-known throughout his city of New York. This might be due to his positive personality.

On the Shortest Video On Youtube series:
Mylo is a ginger tabby cat with green eyes. In the animated scenes, he wears a black shirt, yellow pants/trousers and black trainers. In the live-action scenes, he is seen as a real life ginger cat with green eyes. In the first animated scenes, he has his face from Episodes 35 and 36. Starting with Episode 86, Mylo has his iconic face from Episode 1 with an open smiling mouth (even when he talks). Starting with Episode 103, he has a edited almost closed mouth that moves when he’s talking or when he’s not talking (except for when he’s startled or is just in the moment).

On the Shortest Video On Youtube After Show:
For the first five episodes of the after show, he wears his same attire from the animated segments. Starting with Episode 6, he wears a black blazer (with short sleeves), a white (supposedly buttoned up) shirt, a black tie, black trousers/pants and the same black trainers. Mylo presumably said the look was temporary in Episode 6 but it became his main outfit throughout the after show.

Personality
Mylo’s personality has evolved throughout the years. Before the 2021 era of the series, he was mostly an egotistical cat who called himself "the coolest cat on the Internet". He also swore occasionally and talked about crude subjects. He doesn’t really have a personality in the actual series up until Episode 86. His personality is seen as being a good friend to people who treat him with respect but being a bad person to people who treat him with disrespect. He can also treat people who he’s stressed with with disrespect. (Example: Barry from Episodes 196-199)

In real life
Mylo is, in real life, a ginger cat born on October 8th, 2006. He made his first video appearance on the Hidden Track TV video ‘Cats in Love’ where he is seen licking his sister Lulu. A clip from it was reused in Episode 40. He was apparently owned by James Catusco along with Lulu, who he’s owned by now is unknown. His voice is provided by Adam Schleichkorn who also animates the series.

Trivia

 * His animated model was created in Photoshop as was every other animated character’s design
 * He lives in New York as mentioned in many of his videos
 * His animated design makes an appearance in Verbalase’s Steppin’ on the Beach beatbox video. This is obviously due to the fact that Adam edited the video
