Twisted Whiskers
Twisted Whiskers is a design for greeting cards developed and licensed by American Greetings and Corus Entertainment created by Terrill Bohlar since 2001. It includes digitally modified photos of animals, creating a caricature. The series includes greeting cards, gift items, wrapping paper, notepads and holiday items. Animated e-cards and instant messenger products have been produced as well. In 2011, American Greetings relaunched the line with the release of greeting cards featuring lenticular designs, showing a pet turning into a trademark character of the Twisted Whiskers line.

American Greetings shorts
The 2006 shorts were directed by the director of the television series. The shorts star four of the characters from the show (read more at TV series). The shorts originally were shown on the Twisted Whiskers website. Later, KidMango.com started showing them on their website.

Animated shorts characters
 Yawp – A black and white puppy with big, blue eyes. He is possibly based upon one of the puppies seen on the greeting cards, and is seen the most in the shorts.
 Dander – A curious calico cat without a personality that gets himself into misadventures. He has been seen to be fond of dancing and drinking from the toilet.
 Goosers – A large mutt who is a friendly, funny dog who often causes mischief for Dander.
 Flouncie – An orange tabby Persian cat who is sophisticated like other cats, though she does not often liked to be bothered. She does not show interest towards Yawp or her owner, and uses a typewriter to create novels.
