Appearance

Baby Kate is an aardvark like her parents and siblings. She wears a pink shirt, green pajama pants and a yellow bow in her hair

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 Kate and the animals interpret grownups' talk likewise. She enjoys playing in her sandpit 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.
