Theodore Grambell, popularly known as Experiment 1188: CatNap, is the Poppy Playtime franchise’s secondary antagonist. Deep Sleep, the game’s third chapter, features CatNap at its center. But before being CatNap, Theodore was an orphan at the Home Sweet Home Orphanage.
His “fictional friend,” the Prototype, convinced him to unlock the service door, evidently to free the other orphans and experiment subjects. fortunately, this escape attempt led to Theodore’s electrocution.
According to records shown in Chapter 3 Interactable ARG, Theodore was a troubled orphan who concerned his counselors. Theo appeared to have few to no friends at Home Sweet Home, except one unseen companion, which Joel Sinclair initially thought was fictional.
Based on his discussions with counselors and next actions, Theo was skilled at stealth; he was able to steal a GrabPack 2.0 with two Green Hands before escaping Home Sweet Home at “night” without being discovered by Security, as well as break into Joel’s office during the latter’s lunch break.

What is the History of Theodore Grambell?
When Playtime Co. was still working, Theodore Grambell became well-known among the workers for his connection to an imaginary partner who appeared to encourage him to undermine the company. In Chapter 3 Interactable ARG, Theodore’s painting shows him in purple, sitting on his bed with a skeletal arm emerging from underneath. This drawing strongly suggests that Theodore’s “imaginary” companion was Experiment 1006, the prototype.
One day, 1006 directed Theodore to unlock a maintenance door at Playcare with a stolen GrabPack and a green GrabPack Hand. Following the Prototype’s instructions, Theodore attempted to open the door, possibly expecting 1006 to allow the orphans to leave.
However, because to his young age and lack of understanding of how to use the GrabPack, Theodore was shocked by the green hand and required quick medical attention. When Joel Sinclair and Thomas Clarke found out about the incident, they determined over the phone that Theodore’s imaginary friend was to blame. They expressly said that the maintenance door needed two personnel to operate. Thomas claimed to have seen Theodore’s phantom companion.
Despite Theodore’s injury, his believed friend’s behaviors continued, and he became CatNap. Poppy Playtime Character CatNap, like Boxy Boo, was designed with one specific objective in mind: to put the children of Home Sweet Home to sleep while keeping orphans from escaping Playcare. Several individuals were considered for control of CatNap, but Theodore Grambell was ultimately chosen and became the gatekeeper of Playcare.
