==Premise==
===The origin of Cat===
A couple of archaeologists, accompanied by their newborn son Francisco, are in Valparaíso in search of a lost treasure. In it, they find an Egyptian medallion that belonged to the feline goddess Bastet known as "The Eye of the Cat". Francisco's parents die tragically at sea and the baby is left alone, so he is taken care of by Father Marraqueta of the La Matriz Church.
Eighteen years later, the medallion reaches Francisco's hands, who gives him powers and turns him into Cat, a superhero mixing man and cat. This superhero fights evil in the streets and hills of Valparaíso.
===Place and context of the story===
Stories such as the development of the series are made in the middle of the streets and hills of Valparaíso, the center being the La Matriz Church (which was looted and burned by Sir Francis Drake around the seventeenth century) and whose surroundings are composed of the characters of the series.
==Characters==
===Inhabitants of the La Matriz sector===
*Francisco / Cat (secret identity) (voiced by Robbie Daymond in the English dub) - An 18-year-old man characterized by his simplicity and optimism. He is grateful for life despite the fact that he was never able to meet his parents. Favorite phrase: "There is always someone who is worse than one."
*Olympia (voiced by Cristina Vee in the English dub) - An 18-year-old woman who is a collaborator of the La Matriz Church. She is characterized by being intelligent, self-confident and committed to what she does. This is why she takes the initiative of what she does and says things as they are. She likes Francisco, but she hates Gato because she thinks he is very arrogant.
*Father Marraqueta (voiced by TBA in the English dub) - This man of approximately 70 years old is the Father of the La Matriz Church. He raised Francisco since his birth and loves him as his son. He is characterized by being kind and generous, so he always thinks about helping the poor, drunks, lazy, and drug addicts; but sometimes he is clueless. Sometimes he gets caught talking to God.
*Sebastián (voiced by Kira Buckland in the English dub) - A 7-year-old boy who was abandoned by his parents, so he lives in a children's home. He is characterized by being naughty, messy and unpredictable. Despite all this, he feels that his family is made up of his friends and that he would like to have a father and a mother. He is a fan of Gato.
===Arch-enemies and enemies===
*Anguilla (voiced by Liam O'Brien in the English dub) - He is a 45-year-old man who works as an acrobat in the Pacific Beasts circus. Physically he is athletic and muscular, but psychologically he is lonely and unsociable. He thinks that he can compensate for the shortcomings he had in his life with the ambition for money and power, no matter who crosses his path. This is why he is evil, he has no respect for those around him and he has knowledge about black magic.
*7 Hands and Rotacock (voiced by TBA in the English dub) - Vandals who appeared for the first time in the episode El Viejo del Saco tried to kidnap Sebastián and his friend.
*The Ghost of Francis Drake (voiced by Joseph Whimms in the English dub) - The ghost of an English captain from the 16th century who is characterized by being evil by nature and lack of forgiveness and compassion. He wanders lost through Valparaíso without understanding what's happening around him today. He hates the Spaniards and in his head is only the idea of looting the port and burying the riches.
*Pig Man (voiced by TBA in the English dub) - This being with a man's body and a pig's head is mainly characterized by being physically beastly and ugly. This being is on the border between evil and goodness, since although the world considers him an evil beast mercilessly for men, the inside is a being who defends himself from those who attack him. In his dwelling he is unable to hurt.
*Robot with Trumpets (voiced by TBA in the English dub) - It is a big robot with all the colors and with giant trumpets in its head. It is always decided to end Valparaíso and the entire country of Chile and even the church of the mother and the super hero Gato. He has red eyes and very fat arms and was created in Anguilla's laboratory.
