![]() ![]() But April Ludgate is the literal human embodiment of Grumpy Cat (which is convenient, as Plaza was Grumpy Cat’s literal voice in her movie), and she has a large amount of cattitude. Finally, you’re extremely loyal to your pack.” And you bare your fangs when you pick a mate. You do not obey, you choose to cooperate. Tom’s future book, Failure: An American Success Story (7.13, “One Last Ride”), describes April as “individualistic, intense and intimidating.” She is all of those things, certainly, but she’s also a loyal team player willing to jump into any of Leslie’s harebrained schemes at the drop of a hat, and very determined when she sets her mind to a project.Īs Donna explains to her in very accurate detail, “You’re beautiful, yet cold and aloof, you pride yourself on being a loner.

Though she’s successful (thanks to Tom’s marketing savvy), she inadvertently gets her husband Ben fired from his job as director of the Sweetums Foundation. The main plot concerns Leslie’s efforts to get fluoride into the Pawnee water system, overcoming the constant annoyances of fellow councilmember Jeremy Jamm. This episode takes place not long after April was promoted to Director of the Animal Control Department, which happened around the same time she decided not to attend vet school in Bloomington (“Bailout,” 5.16). In the C plot of the episode “Fluoride,” (6.08), April and the rest of the Parks gang try to find out what their spirit dogs are, with their choices later emblazoned on a plaque labeled “Barks and Recreation.” Casting Parks and Rec characters as dog breeds will begin shortly, but first, a quick background of the episode in question is needed. ![]()
