Abstract
Boogie, Scully, Tigger, Cleopatra and Mulder are not only well-known characters and cats, they are also five exquisitely interesting stars that present sun-like oscillation spectra. Aiming to get to know these characters more personally, we have studied their seismic properties. We present an initial analysis of these five stars to determine their global stellar parameters. We determine their radii, estimate their masses and evolutionary stages by studying their average large frequency separation and classical information. We also attempt to match the individual observed frequencies with those calculated from stellar evolution and pulsation models.
