Appearance
Baby Kate is an aardvark like her parents and siblings. She wears a pink shirt, green pajama pants, white disposable diapers, and a bow with a hairclip on her hair. Her swimwear are swim diapers that are about the same color as regular ones, a red bathing shirt, and a white bathing cap with red polka dots. When she was a newborn, she was wearing pink footsie pajamas with green accents. She also had a pacifier in her mouth; but since she became a year old, she has rarely ever had one. An early Kate can be seen in Arthur's Baby and D.W.'s Baby.

Personality
She's able to communicate with Pal, Mei-Lin and other animals or babies but people who are older than her dismiss it as "baby talk" gibberish, and she and the animals interpret grownups' talk likewise. She enjoys playing in her sandbox and shows remarkable intelligence for her age, despite not being able to communicate with people older than herself. But in one episode she couldn't hear Pal correctly at times. Despite being a year old, she rarely stands up. On certain occasions, she is prone to crying. At one point, she threw a tantrum over wanting a balloon, and Pal ran off and brought her back one in order to cheer her up.
