Catscratch is an American animated television series created by Doug TenNapel (also known for creating the Earthworm Jim series). It aired on Nickelodeon from July 9, 2005 to February 10, 2007.

Plot

The series revolves around a trio of anthropomorphic feline brothers. After their wealthy owner Edna Cramdilly died, she left her riches to them, along with a menacing, oversized monster truck named Gear and a dignified butler named Hovis. The program commonly chronicles their wealthy lifestyles and action-packed, sometimes paranormal, experiences. Other characters include the sweet young neighbor girl, Kimberly, with whom Gordon is obsessed, and the cats' competitive rivals the Chumpy Chump Brothers.

Why It Made The Trio Rich when The Old Lady Died

  1. Amazing intro.
  2. The visuals of the art style and character designs are pretty pleasing and decent on the eyes.
  3. The voice acting was great, especially from Wayne Knight, Rob Paulsen and Kevin McDonald.
  4. Outstanding, hilarious slapstick humor.
  5. With that said, the humor is both, decent and fantastic.
  6. It's a mix-match of The Ren & Stimpy Show, Ed, Edd n Eddy and SpongeBob SquarePants.
  7. Very likeable and funny characters, such as: Waffle, Gordon, Mr. Blik, Hovis, Kimberly, and Katilda.
  8. Some good antagonists such as the Chumpy Chump Brothers.
  9. Has some heartwarming moments.
  10. The show has some Flash games were based on the episodes like Cat Fight, This Means War!, Cats Me if You Can!, and Spindango Fundulation.

Bad Qualities

  1. Mr. Bilk’s greedy, egoistic, and violent nature makes him unlikable sometimes.
  2. Gordon’s crush on Kimberly can be a little weird due to the fact that Gordon is a cat, while Kimberly is a feminine human.
  3. The series lasted for only 20 episodes and it was never renewed for a second season.
  4. The episode "Mr. Pickles" is considered as one of the worst episodes of the series.
