Is it the floor, or is it the Earth itself?
The floor is an ant.

Not for long! Calling on the power of the Great Cosmic Beaky Mask to breathe life back into it!
The floor is alive again!

The floor is gone now I guess. Too much catnip perhaps - the floor couldn't take it anymore.

Even better yet:
The floor is So to figure out what Krampy's face looks like, you first have to take note of what they're hiding it with; a mask yes, but the important thing to take note of is the shape of the mask. Obviously it resembles a bird, but not just any bird; it's the mask of a plague doctor, and those masks are fashioned after ravens.
But what does that tell us? Simple! Ravens are birds that are heavily associated with Odin; the Norse god of death and war. Krampy wearing the mask shows us that they are heavily associated with Odin, but wearing a mask is hardly a connection on its own - there's more! Krampy's connection to Odin goes even deeper in Wildwood Story; with the rival marriages update Krampy can get married to Talon. TALON, like a raven's talons! And to truly solidify the connection, Talon only has one eye - Odin sacrificed one of his own eyes to become all-seeing. Talon knows everything that goes on in the Wildwood, and he reveals this power by showing where the enemy is attacking, and how much influence each area has despite never leaving the colony. How would he know that if he was not all-seeing?
Talon is also the cat who assigns the squads - in other words, sends the soldiers out into battle. This shows that Talon has almost an even more direct connection to the god of death and war than Krampy does, but goes far deeper yet! Ravens are also carrion birds, which means they will pick from the dead. This symbolizes how Odin and the goddess of love, Freyja were said to pick from the fallen warriors in battle to go to their respective afterlives of Valhalla or Folkvangr.
This also not only shows a connection with Odin, but it also introduces a second god into the connection of Krampy. Freyja was not only known as the goddess of love, but she was known to ride a chariot pull by cats - CATS! If that isn't a connection I don't know what is! It was also supposedly a wedding tradition to gift the bride a kitten in honor of this, which brings us back to weddings again, being Krampy and Talon.
Going back to the beaky mask once more though, it's also a plague doctor mask. Plagues are just diseases, and diseases that make people die of natural causes. Those in Norse mythology to die of natural causes would go to the realm of Hel. This now shows that Krampy already has connections with THREE afterlives so far, but Krampy is associated with more than just death:
Krampy is also known to be an excellent doctor, so we see that he also has the ability to save lives too. This finally takes a turn away from Norse mythology, and onto biblical matters instead; Jesus was known as the son of God, who was renown for His ability to save lives - just like Krampy! He was said to heal anything with merely a touch, and we see Krampy able to heal the player from any injury in just an instant... Beginning to see the connection? Nope! Because it goes deeper still!
Not only was Jesus able to heal in an instant, He was also able to turn water into wine; Krampy has a dialogue line about trying to turn rock debris into gold - THEY'RE TRYING THE EXACT SAME THING!!! And just as Jesus was created by God, Krampy must have been too - they have the exact same powers! Let's not even mention the fact that Krampy's mask also manipulates itself to change expressions based upon Krampy's mood. What was once probably a simple mask, Krampy breathed life into and made it living - just like how God breathed life into Adam in the beginning of time - KRAMPY DID THE SAME DARN THING!!!
In short, Krampy is the embodiment of life and death; they are undeniably associated with both creation and the afterlife - Krampy is the living embodiment of the endless cycle of life and death. And it's not over yet; this finally leads into Krampy's obsession with leeches:
Leeches are part of the subclass of oligochaetes, like earthworms and such; which are very similar to snakes in appearence, and snakes here represent the ouroboros; an ancient symbol representing the endless cycle of life's beginning to it's ending, repeating for infinity.
So to summarize: Krampy is the living embodiment of the universe, and its cycle of beginnings and endings looping into infinity. Krampy holds the power of both life and death in their paws - Krampy is eternal.
Now, in all of this I have yet to explain what Krampy's face looks like - and this is the part that is up to theory. Krampy I believe has no actual face, but behind that mask you can see eternity itself infinitely looping. For any mortal cat to gaze upon it, it would break their mind, so Krampy wears the mask to not only show what they are, but to protect everyone not strong enough to comprehend eternity.
Gee, I didn't realize how much Cattails was inspired by Norse mythology!
