“	“Looking at things upside down always sets them right-side up again for me.”
	— Cheshire Cat

Cheshire Cat is a character from the Disney film Alice in Wonderland (1951). Quests to invite him begin after the Alice in Wonderland Realm is unlocked, and after and completing a series of quests ending in Cat Tree Catastrophe.

His home is a large orange leafed tree. Once unlocked, he will be added to the Dreamlight Valley Characters Collection.

Unlocking

Cheshire Cat will begin to appear in the Valley after completing the Alice in Wonderland Realm quest Leaving Wonderland. After that quest is complete, entering Scrooge's Store will begin the quest Mannequin Madness, which is the first quest to unlock Cheshire Cat. The second quest - Chaos in the Kitchen - is available from Remy inside his restaurant. The third quest is Cat Tree Catastrophe, which will permanently add Cheshire Cat's Tree to the Valley as a Villager.

He was originally time gated after he was introduced to the game, and the quests to unlock him slowly became available during the two weeks after the release of Update 16.

Schedule

Main article: Time

Cheshire Cat is a unique Villager in how his schedule works. Unlike other Villagers, he cannot be found wandering the Valley, visiting Scrooge's Store or eating at either Chez Remy or Tiana's Palace. He spends all day at his home, and will occasionally appear and disappear when the Player is nearby. The only time the Cheshire Cat will be seen outside of his home is during certain quests or when hanging out with the Player. However, even while hanging out, he continues to vanish and reappear. Although he may not be visible, the player will still receive the bonus items normally received when hanging out with other Villagers.

Friendship Rewards

Cheshire Cat will award the following rewards when Friendship levels are reached. Friendship can be leveled up through gifts, quests, conversation, or by hanging out.

Character Dialogue

General Dialogue

Greetings: Unconditional Do you often wonder where you're going after you get there? Have you lost something again? You're not getting up to any trouble, are you? Might I join you? ... All mimsy were the borogoves, and the mome raths outgrabe... Looking at things upside down always sets them right-side up again for me. Oh, hello. Do you suppose I'm here? Unless, perhaps I'm not. Morning If you have any questions for me, let me tell you the answers before you ask. Night It's rather nice when the moon smiles back at me. Rainy The rain has a marvelous way of falling between my stripes. Sunny Day is drifting down the stream into evening's golden gleam.

Gift Responses: I'll add it to my collection. You have a gift for giving... and now I have a gift too. How thoughtful of you to think of me.

Hang Out Start Response: Certainly. Of course it hardly matters which way we go. Shall we go this way? Or that way? Do you need to get somewhere? I happen to know a shortcut.

Hang Out End Response: Are you where you want to be? Next time we part, be sure to find me. Is it over? Or have we started? Oh, I recognize this place. This is where we part. See you soon... Of course, you may not see me.

Hang Out Cancel Response: Have you found the place you weren't going to? *yawn* I think I'll take a little cat nap. We wandered so many ways together.

player

Player Goodbye Options: Sorry, I can't talk now.

Float Text Dialogue: Unconditional I hope you weren't expecting me... I wasn't expecting myself either. Some say the Jabberwock's about. But I say— Don't be a stranger... But do BE stranger, please. It's easier to find what you seek once you stop looking for it. Found or lost, lost or found... Where do I go when I disappear? That's easy. I go left. Up may be down, left could be right, here's often there... But where are you? If you're wondering which way to go, I'd go the fifth way. Morning I like to end my day by settling down in the morning. Night Look, the sun's gone down. Good morning! Rainy Do be sure to get lots of mud on your shoes. Sunny When sun shines bright as if it's night, does such a sight bring you delight?

Scramblecoin Text

Scramblecoin Request Response: It'll be loads of fun. Scramblecoin Eager Float Text: Should we scramble a few coins, Player? Scramblecoin Player Victory Float Text: Good, I lost. That's more fun, you know. Scramblecoin Player Defeat Float Text: Oh, how terrible. I hate to win.

Daily Discussions

Are you intentionally confusing?

Oh, all I intend to do intentionally is be unintentional. →   I don't understand. Don't understand what? →  How can you intend to be unintentional? It's quite easy. After all, you can laugh and not be happy... You can be lost AND be exploring... You can intend not to intend, and end up where you didn't NOT want to be. Don't you agree? →  Most of the things you say. Oh, but I mean what I say. Unless I say what I don't mean, of course. →  Never mind. Never mind what? →   I get it! Do you really? You understand how to try not to try? →  I think so. Then perhaps you should try again. →  I'm lost again. Oh, that's the very best place to be. →   Really seems like you're being confusing on purpose. But I've no purpose but NOT to be purposeful. Which is a purpose, of course. →  Makes total sense! How much sense in total? →  I'm gonna go. Oh, I hope you do so purposefully!

• Where should I go today?

What's a Cheshire?

Why, me, of course. →   Yes, but what does the word mean? It means what you see. Can you see me? →  Yes. Well then, that's what it must mean. →  Not always. Exactly. →  Yes, but that doesn't answer the question. Doesn't it? Of course, you could always ask another question. →  That's not an answer. Are you certain? Of course, you could always ask another question. →  You like being confusing. Do I? I rather thought I liked pink yarn in purple pouches. →  Questions are fun. Yes, especially when everything is questionable. Which it almost always is. →  I prefer getting answers. Does that mean we're at an impasse? A possibly impossible situation, perhaps? →   Well, that clears that up. It does? How fun! →  I'm being sarcastic. Oh, I never understand "sarca sticks." Come find me when you're yourself again. →  How is this fun? How is what fun? →  You have an odd idea of fun. Why, thank you. I do try my best, after all.

Do you like poetry?

Dee, dee, dah... What's that? Poetry? Oh, I suppose you could say I've a poem or two each day. Would you like to hear one? →   Tell me a poem you like. Certainly. Here's a poem about smiling. How doth the little crocodile improve his shining tail... And pour the waters of the Nile on every golden scale? How cheerfully he seems to grin, how neatly spreads his claws. →   Tell me a short poem. Short? Well, the Dormouse has the shortest of poems: Twinkle, twinkle little bat. How I wonder what you're at. Up above the world you fly, like a tea tray in the sky. →   Tell me a long poem. Then I'll tell the poem "Jabberwocky." In verse, not song... 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, and the mome raths outgrabe. →   Go on. "Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun the frumious Bandersnatch!" →   Go on. He took his vorpal sword in hand; long time the manxome foe he sought— So rested he by the Tumtum tree and stood awhile in thought. →   Go on. And, as in uffish thought he stood, the Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood and burbled as it came! →   Go on. One, two! One, two! And through and through the vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head, he went galumphing back. →   Go on. "And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!" He chortled in his joy. 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, and the mome raths outgrabe. →  That's enough. Really? The rest is just as fun. →  That's enough. Really? The rest is just as fun. →  That's enough. Really? The rest is just as fun. →  That's enough. Really? The rest is just as fun. →  That's enough. Really? The rest is just as fun. There. A poem. Did you enjoy it? →  It was lovely. [continue to next line] →  It was silly. [continue to next line] →  It was eerie. You're quite welcome.

What are you thinking about?

Hm... They went that way. →   Who did? Whoever you're looking for. →  How did you know I was looking for someone? You're looking for someone? →  I'm not looking for someone. Of course not. But whoever you're not looking for went that way. →  Thank you. You're welcome. →   Should I go that way? That depends on what you want to find. →  I don't want to find anything! Then you'd best go this way, not that way. Unless that way IS this way, then that way will do. →  I thought there was a person there? Well, if there was... ...they went this way. →  I don't know what I want. Then it really doesn't matter which way they went. →  Thank you... I think. I suppose you're very pleased to be welcome, too.

• Are you all right?
• Where do you go when you disappear?

Are you REALLY a cat?

What else would I be? →   Something magical. Is that not a cat? I'm sure you understand. →  Yes, of course. [continue to next line] →  Not at all. [continue to next line] →  Am I supposed to? Precisely. →  I'm honestly not sure. Then neither am I. →  ... I guess a cat is all that makes sense. If you say so.

Can you ever say anything direct?

A Cheshire Cat is always direct... ...if the direction you want is the direction I'm going. →   See, now what does that mean?! What does what mean? Unless it means what you mean. Does it? →  No! [continue to next line] →  I guess so. [continue to next line] →  I give up. Naturally. →  Okay then. Is it? →  You're impossible. Oh, to be impossible is possibly the only way to be. Don't you agree?

How are you doing today?

How I'm doing depends on what I'm doing, and what I'm doing is the same as where I'm going. How are YOU getting on, Player? →  I'm good! Then you must be going left. And left is always right, when one is feeling good. →  Not great, to be honest. Then you must be going right! Right can only be left when one isn't not well. →  Mostly I'm confused. Then you're at a crossroads. Getting your roads crossed is often the best direction of all! How nice chatting with you. You always add a clearing fog to our conversations. →  You're welcome? Oh, am I invited somewhere? →  Um, thank you? Of course. →  I know. Know what?

Observed Conversations

General

With Alice

Do you know the pigs who grew wings? Goodness, no. That sounds implausible. But not impossible? Well, I do know better than to say that. Naturally.

With Goofy

I say, just who I was looking for! I'm wondering if you have a new head for me. You see, I keep losing mine. Ya mean a head of cabbage? Perhaps, as long as the smile is wide. Gawrsh, I'm not sure cabbages have smiles.

With Olaf

Why, a frosty fellow! Hello! Have you considered did gyre and gimble in the wabe? Um... Do you need a warm hug?

With Remy

You really don't EAT? A dog growls when angry and wags its tail when pleased. Yes? Sure, yeah. I growl when pleased and wag my tail when angry. Um... okay? Not sure what that has to do with food...

With Simba

I've never seen a cat like you before. There aren't many like me. Unless of course there are. Sorry I asked...

Quests

With Alice ( Leaving Wonderland)

Cheshire Cat, have you seen a rabbit hole nearby? Or perhaps a door? Yes. Of course, I could see better with the proper fungi light to illuminate my thoughts... Do you mean those curious, colorful mushrooms? I do. Shall we each enjoy a color?
