I started up this website in early 2008 with just a little HTML knowledge and digital drawing skills to get things started. Nick (my brother) soon joined the site and his coding skills gave us the trading and adoption system, along with many other upgrades. A lot of the pets we use today are still based on my original lineart drawings from '08 and '09, but we have added more variety with our ever-growing artist team :)

I'm the software developer, database architect, and server administrator behind Chicken Smoothie. I'm the one who builds the stuff that powers our website and the forum. I answer our support email address and handle payments and site privacy. I also maintain our cheating detection system to keep the game fair for everybody. Occasionally I draw some pets too :).

I joined CS at a very early stage and soon became a Global Moderator. I worked my way up to be an Admin Assistant until I lastly joined Tess and Nick in their ranks. I am mostly in charge of solving trade disputes but I still fulfill tasks assigned to my former titles sometimes. I also do work behind the scenes and occasionally you will find some pets or items designed by me.

Hey, I'm Aquila (she/her) and I live in the UK. I'm a cat owner, book reader and frequent nap taker. I've been an Admin Assistant since 2023, having previously been a General Helper, Roleplay Mod and Global Mod. My PMs are always open, so if you have questions about any area of CS just drop me a message and I'll be happy to help.

Perpetually exhausted and functioning only on caffeine and leftover teenage angst, I’m a CS veteran who has been around since mid-2008. I became a General Helper in 2012 and was a Global Moderator for a few years before becoming an Admin Assistant. Most of my work takes place behind the scenes, helping users recover their accounts and dealing with more serious reports. When I'm not doing staff work, my favorite thing to do is chat about the monthly outcomes in the forum.

Outside of CS, I'm a biologist who loves animals. I currently share my home with a cuddly old cat and a crazy Aussie puppy. In my free time I enjoy gaming, anime, cosplay, photography, making kandi and Perlers, spending time with friends and family, ice skating, hiking, and going on spontaneous adventures. I hope to someday have a complete CS collection.

My inbox is always open if you need help with site features, understanding rules, or have any other concerns!

Heya! I'm a British artist, I adore birds, and I still enjoy warrior cats after more than a decade. I use he/him and xe/xem pronouns.

I joined the team as a General Helper in 2015 and moved to Global Moderator in 2020. As a Chickensmoothie moderator it's my job to help keep CS safe and fun. In addition to moderating I've been working on a complete pet collection since I joined in 2013!

Hi there, ya precious beans. ❤ How are you?

I'm winx (she/her primarily, but I'm okay with any) and I am currently stationed in the Upper Midwest region of the U.S. In my free time, you can find me taking care of my foster pets, hammocking, drinking Coca-Cola, watching anime, napping for far too long, and playing video games. My inbox is always open if you have any questions or just want someone to talk to.

Commit to doing something kind for yourself every day. You deserve it.

Item artist, but catch me bust out some pet designs during events tho

I lurk in the item suggestion thread, please make sure to spam your ideas there >:3c

Just call me Draca. It's way easier. :')

I'm your friendly Belgian cryptic, here to draw weird creatures for all the good people of CS.

Hi, I'm Doglike! I'm a laid back dude in the US with an Associates in Web Design, and working as a graphic designer!

I adore art, reading fantasy or science fiction books, drinking tea, crochet (or at least pretending to know how), playing video games (my favorite is Animal Crossing!), tending to my (too many) plants, and napping if I can squeeze that in to the hectic schedule of life!

Nadine and I share brain cells.

I'm very laid-back and I'm happy to chat!

Hey! 💜 I'm dwarjam, a freelancing artist from Estonia. I live with my husband, my lovely pup Moritz, snail Zhenya, and some isopods.

Other than doing art, I really enjoy gaming and have accumulated a ton of favorites over the years. I occasionally enjoy partaking in D&D and other tabletop RPGs. I also love dabbling in all sorts of crafts and recently I've been rediscovering crocheting!

This website has been a huge part of my life for so long now and I am very excited that I got this opportunity to draw pets and items for CS!
I don't bite, so my PMs are always open if you would like to reach out! :>

Hi everyone, I’m Firie (she/any)! I work full time as an entomologist specializing in the study of cockroaches and bed bugs. When I’m not working I’m a hobbyist artist with a love for drawing my many ocs and I am also a collector of pet bugs. I currently share my home with my cat, Luca, and 15+ tarantulas, scorpions, millipedes, isopods, and more. I also love to play games; some of my favorite are Donkey Kong Country, Halo 2, Yume Nikki, Terraria, and RDR2. I also poke around FFXIV.

Feel free to drop me a DM if you have any questions or if you want to show me a cool bug! :]

Heya, I'm June Bug! (He/Him)
I've been on CS since 2009 and it has become like a second home to me. I am so happy to be able to contribute to the fun here on CS!

I am a creative at heart and an animal lover, just as many of my fellow Smoothians are. I currently have an ancient soul-stealing witch (elderly cat), chaos tornado (bernadoodle puppy), and tank full of pre-sushi (fish of various ages) but my history of pets is as vast and varied as the arts and crafts I've dabbled in!
For many years I worked in the equine industry both in training and husbandry. A few years ago I transitioned into working in GIS. As much I love making maps, my heart still lies with the horses so I still help out at my old barn for fun. If I'm not online, I'm either sleeping or petting ponies!

Hey there, I’m MissionFlight!
When I’m not drawing, sewing, or doing some other kind of miscellaneous crafts I work at an animal shelter!
Animals are my passion and I have no clue what I would do without them in my life. My partner and I have 4 cats (too many, I know) and two dogs (:

I’m very honored and excited to have the chance to create new pets for everyone!

Howdy, I'm Pyro! I'm some guy from northern California and, in a shocking turn of events, they're letting me make stuff for CS!

Aside from art, I also like cycling, indie games, esoteric music theory, and extinct things.

🦕🐊🚲

Hey, I’m Pax! 🤙🏻

Just a guy from New England who loves all things art and outdoorsy. I live with my fiancée, our two dogs and two birds who keep us on our toes 24/7. Graduated with a BFA in 2023 with the goal of kickstarting a webcomic (but you will never meet a slower artist so check back in a decade ✨)

I absolutely love creating items for CS and so stoked to be on the team!

I'm a nerdy Canadian who likes art. I like working on personal projects and designing characters. I hope to one day do it professionally. I also have 2 cats.

Hello friends! I’m Spacekkng (She/They), please feel free to call me whatever name you like. I’m one of many artists and the newest local cryptid!

Aside from being a part of the CS artist team, I tend to spend my time hanging in the background. You’ll find me lurking in the forums and making trades to try and complete my extensive pet collection goals. Outside of CS I’m a freelance artist, wife, and punk. My interests include music, video games, Jiu-Jitsu, and art. I'm always open to chat, so feel free to send me a PM.

Hope you have a lovely day <3

Heyo! I'm Susiron, or Susi for short (he/she/they pronouns).

I'm a nerd who loves drawing, writing, reading, and playing video games. I love to draw canines and dragons in particular. I want to read and write much more, but the ADHD often prefers drawing or video games since I can multitask.

Some of my favorite games include Okami, most Pokemon titles, older Harvest Moon games, Stardew Valley, World of Warcraft, and Red Dead Redemption 2.

Meow!

Yooo!! It's nice to meet you! I've been lurking on CS pretty much daily since 2009 and it is an absolute dream to now be making pets for all of you! I hope my designs live up to your expectations <3

Transmasc - he/they - ADHD and Autistic :3

Always Keep Fighting!

Hello!!! I'm Cy or Cyber (They/Them) I draw sometimes and when I'm not doing that I'm either gaming or baking! I am also slowly working on a collection of paper stars that will one day fill the entirety of my room.

Anyway I'm obsessed with planets, stars, and the color purple!

I'm glad to be making pets and items for everyone!

Greetings!

I am your local tea drinking, british-accented staff member. I am also the resident troublemaker.

I am an item artist. I make a lot of the items you use for dress-ups.
I also make bats at halloween.

Tess has kept me locked in the staff dungeon since 2008. Please send rations immediately.

Hi! I'm axelandria, but you can call me axel (or Axel). I use she/they pronouns. I'm born and raised Canadian, and I'm going to school to study social work! I love musical theatre, dogs (Golden Retrievers especially), and reading, and will often read at least two novels a week. My favourite colour is yellow, and I love summer :)

I have been a CS member since 2015, and became a GH in April 2021. You can always come to me with any questions, I'm sure I know most of the answers <3

Hello, I'm Len! If I'm not hanging out on CS, I'm probably out somewhere rewatching the same movies or replaying the same video games c':

If you ever need anything or just want to talk, my door is always open!

I'm Nadine (she/they), a young eternally exhausted pigeon who has far too many things to do. I'm a lover of all cuddly creatures and love my friends pets as if they were my own. I also make art and love to play video games in my free time.

I joined the team in 2012 as a General Helper before becoming a Global Moderator in 2014. If you need anything at all, or just want to chat, my door is always open!

Hiya! ♥

I'm Schuyler, an autistic/neurodivergent enby nerd from New Jersey, USA. I've been around CS since 2011 and originally joined the team as a Global Moderator in 2014 before switching to a General Helper role in 2024.

Outside of CS, I'm almost always listening to music somewhere, and I also love books, video games, TV & movies, collecting random stuff, and chilling with my kitties, dog, and snakes. I'm particularly passionate about languages and linguistics, and my other interests include cosmology, paleontology, and history.

I speak English and German (~B2), and I'm learning Polish (A1-2). Feel free to contact me in any of these languages if you need anything or just want to say hi!

[Agender; currently experimenting with pronouns, so just use whatever's in my signature, or they/them works fine!]
