Slacker Cats is an American adult animated sitcom created by British writers Andy Riley and Kevin Cecil for ABC Family.
The series features the voice talents of comedians Harland Williams and Sinbad as Buckley and Eddie, a pair of slacker cats who live in the fictional city of Wendell, California.
Riley and Cecil serves as executive producers for the series, along with animation director Seth Kearsley, who designed the characters.
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.
A second season premiered on the ABC Family website on December 19, 2008, and was released on iTunes and Xbox Live Marketplace.
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 Maine coon who has indigo fur, a white V-shaped mark on the chest, black eyes and a pink snout, and this is clever by cat standards, but he thinks he is much more clever than he really is, which causes him and Eddie to encounter a lot of trouble.
Buckley's personality fluctuates from being lazy and uncaring to being remotely active and feeling guilty.
Buckley also shows an aggressive side, attacking his friend Tabitha and removing her remaining ear, though it was later reattached.
Buckley is one of the two main protagonists of the series alongside Eddie, and he is voiced by Harland Williams.
Eddie is an adventurous, but cute tabby cat with orange fur who looks surprisingly like him.
He knows Buckley is in love with his owner, Louise, and often makes fun of him for it, calling him a "sicko" or an "Ownerphile" whenever he looks at something human related.
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.
Dooper is a spoiled and pampered, but selfish cream-colored, male stray cat that lives in a cardboard box in an alley near Louise's apartment.
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.
Buckley has a romantic infatuation with Louise and hopes to one day consummate their relationship, although she is oblivious to the fact.
