Slacker Cats is an American

While the show was first announced, despite an initial lack of information, and its presence on ABC Family, many outlets erroneously believed Slacker Cats was aimed towards kids, but in later advertising and in press kits issued to the media, it was clearly indicated that the show adds more adult tone and themes.

The series is about the adventures of Buckley and Eddie, respectively. The slacker cats are going on their quotidian, strange and outrageous life. Most plots of the show revolve around Buckley and Eddie's schemes to escape the everyday monotony of being slacker cats by taking advantage of humans (as well as other cats) to freewheel themselves in the fictional city of Wendell, California.

Buckley is a brave, young

Tabitha is a light pink Munchkin cat and her owner is currently unknown. He is implied she may be a stray because of her neglected appearance. However, in episode 5 she admits to have once have had an owner but since then had forgotten who it was. She has one ear, which has a bow on it and the other seems to have been mostly bitten off. She is also often shown carrying a small green purse. She is not too bright, but she is cheery and believes she is everyone's friend. Of all the people in Wendell, she enjoys spending time with Buckley and Eddie, much to their annoyance. Whenever she sees them and tries to talk she is given an excuse by Eddie why they are too busy or tells her to wait somewhere for them, often somewhere dangerous. She is willing to forgive anything, including being left in the middle of a highway or having her ear ripped off by Buckley. She often shows characteristics of bipolar disorder, going from cheery to standing over Louise (whom she duct-taped to her bed) with a scalpel and directions on how to perform a "reverse conjoined twin separation" on her. She is voiced by Kiersten Warren.

She is Buckley's nemesis and tries to thwart his plans in any way she can. The reason why she hates Buckley remains unknown. Her name derives from the difference in color of her body and her paws. The entire body is all light purple, except for her paws, which are dark brown. She is very self-conscious about them, calling them "deformities" and hiding them in her fur when she sits. She is also self-conscious about her name, always becoming aggravated when Eddie asks "Where's Mr. Boots?". She shows herself as a classy cat, but has a short temper and when angry starts to yell and her voice becomes a little bit hoarse. She is voiced by Niecy Nash.

Ingrid and Latoyah are two grey British Shorthairs, who Eddie thinks are hot. They are voiced by Masasa Moyo and Alex Borstein, respectively.
