Constantin Cat is an Asian cat and recurring character in 101 Dalmatian Street. He is the Dalmatians' next door neighbor, residing at 99 Dalmatian Street.
Development and design[]
Concept art of Constantin.
The November 2017 draft of the 101 Dalmatian Street series bible reveals Constantin's human owner is a Russian architect who frequently travels, thus leaving Constantin alone. In the series, Constantin's human is neither seen nor mentioned.
Original concept art for Constantin showed him with black fur instead of his final blue-gray fur as well as non-colored bags under his eyes.
Background[]

Constantin’s cameo in “Snow Day.”
Constantin enjoys hosting zen parties and yoga classes for his fellow cats. He has a great interest in Asian culture, often meditating to a Japanese Lucky Cat Statue, to which he refers to as "the Great Guru Miaow.” Despite his serious nature, he still holds many informal cat instincts, such as coughing up furballs and being fascinated by empty boxes.
Constantin shows some disdain for his neighbors, the Dalmatians, for being loud and rowdy, as well as the obvious cat-and-dog dynamic. However, unlike Clarissa, he tolerates them to a degree and never plots against them. Dylan seems to strike on Constantin’s nerves the most, either because of his lack of taste in feline culture or his cat allergies causing him to sneeze in Constantin's face.
The exception to Constantin's disdain toward dogs is Deepak Dalmatian, who participates in his yoga classes and acts as Constantin’s protégé. Constantin also seems to have common ground with Hansel, as he has seen “Girls' Day Out,” where the two are seen taking yoga classes at the pet spa.
Constantin’s first appearance is a cameo in “Snow Day,” where he is described by Doug as being Dorothy’s favorite chew toy. Constantin features in “The Wow of Miaow,” which reveals his fondness of Deepak and showcases his feud with the Dalmatians, specifically Dylan and the Dimitris. “Poodlewolf!” reveals that Constantin has a passion for acting, playing the part of Lord Furball in a reenactment of the events of Poodlewolf.
