So you know the whole AUs with Catnap being an alien and the Smiling Critters as astronauts?
What if a reverse of that? Basically, the SC are the aliens that are just going around trying to find new people to hang out, and Catnap is the astronaut who's mission is to find and test out different species from space, so seeing that they are so willing, he tricks them into being tested on in secret.
Or maybe he could be nice to them. Depends.

They didn't bring us a gift, but considering the kinetic energy of a bottle of wine at orbital speed, that's probably for the best.
Astronaut Guests [Explained]
Transcript Under the Cut
[Cueball, Megan, Ponytail, and Hairbun are eating around a table. Cueball is leaning on the back of his chair and has his palm out.] Cueball: We don't have houseguests often, but we once had six astronauts over for dinner. Hairbun: Oh, wow! Cueball (muttering): …for 7½ milliseconds in mid-August 2012.
[Caption below the panel:] If you spend enough time looking at orbital records and property lines, you can make this claim in a lot of places.

I saved this meme in 2013, and a full decade later I learned that its real title is “Is Anyone Out There?”
It was painted by Alan Bean, the fourth astronaut to walk on the moon.
And it still makes a darn good meme. (Even if astronauts do have bits of Velcro in their helmets for exactly this reason.)
