Synopsis

Kimberly?s teacher fails her on her project: a model of the earth?s core, made of glitter, cotton candy, rainbows, and other pretty stuff. Seeing Kimberly upset, Gordon travels to the center of the earth, and tosses her project into the core! And the earth transforms! Clouds turn into cotton candy, unicorns roam freely, and it rains glitter! But as the cats soon learn, too much of a good thing can be really, really awful.

Production notes

Meet three irresponsible cats who do what cats usually do: lie around and wait for the sound of a can opener. Then one day, the cats inherit millions from their wealthy owner, and a life of freedom, adventure and total cat-astrophe follows.

Sibling rivals with contrasting personalities, the cats exasperate each other and argue, but they ultimately stick together in a world where most humans resent their wealth and the fact that, well, they're cats. Mr. Blik is a blustery, bossy, insecure tough guy who'll steamroll anyone who doesn't see things his way. Winning is everything to Blik, whether it's the title of Root Beer King or a race with the cats' bullying human neighbors, the Chumpy Chumps.

On the other paw, honorable Gordon is honest and loyal to a fault, and a very messy eater. He also harbors a secret crush on the cats' 8-year-old neighbor and friend, sweet Human Kimberly, and he'll do anything to impress her. Waffle is giddy, dumb and enthusiastic. He lives totally in the moment and loves his pet newts. Typically, Waffle has a hard time keeping up with his brothers' schemes, but occasionally he stuns everyone with a moment of brilliance. The cats' long-suffering butler, Hovis, grudgingly puts up with the fact that the former pets have become his masters.

It should be fun watching a bunch of rich kitties spend millions... diamond dust kitty litter, anyone?
