Atchoum's website states he is a Persian cat who lives in Quebec, Canada, and purrs "with a French accent." "Some people say my wild furs and intense amber eyes make me look like a dog, an owl, a mad scientist, a Gremlin, Lorax or the Grinch but I'm happy to be me," Atchoum's biography page states. Atchoum also has a large following on social media via his Instagram profile and is the star of a children's book along with fellow celebrity cat Oreo.
