The story is about God and the Devil who end up on Earth looking like chubby pet cats. This show is created by the same people who made shows like Beavis & Butthead and The Office.

The show intends to keep it all about the funny and sometimes wild adventures as God and the Devil try to outsmart each other in a battle of good versus evil, with lots of humor and amusing situations that are more for grown-ups than for kids.

The main character, called Godcat, is voiced by Tom Ellis. The show promises lots of laughs as it explores what happens when these two powerful beings from Heaven and Hell have to deal with living as cats on Earth.
