== Show Summary ==
Gordon Quid, Waffle, and Mr. Blik were raised in a mansion by Mrs. Edna Cramdilly, who left them her house and her fortune when she died. The brothers live a life of freedom, adventure, and total madness. They are served by a butler named Hovis, who often supports them on their countless adventures. They will even stop the Chumpy Chump Brothers from annoying and causing them trouble once and for all!
== Characters ==
===Gordon Quid===
Gordon is an orange & white cat who is highly generous. He has a Scottish accent and claims to be part of the Highland Quint Clan, despite Blik telling Gordon he was born under the couch like him and Waffle, though later on he is made into an honorary member of the clan. He is highly addictive to food and makes traditional Scottish meals that other people completely despise or does not have the chance to eat it before he does. He is also best friends with Kimberly whom he loves though she sees him as merely a friend due to her young age. He has a low singing voice, which annoys his elder brother, Blik.
===Waffle===
Waffle is a mau and an innocent bonehead. He is one of the only characters of the show that care for others apart from him. He has a newt he named Gomez. Waffles personality is perky, but dumb and is always happy-go-lucky. However, there are some moments where Waffle demonstrates incredible intelligence, such as giving the definition, explanation of a particular word and/or even its circumstance.
===Mr. Blik===
Mr. Blik is a greedy black cat and a total jerk, but still cares for his brothers in his own way. He has a little bit of heart for Waffle, as seen in To The Moon. He cries for Waffle as they fly back to earth and leave him behind. He is the only one who is highly intelligent, but is greedy.
