Gus is a charismatic, wise-cracking wheeler-dealer and leader of the gang. His tough-guy persona is unafraid of anything, but beneath that brave, cool exterior lies a tender heart (who's also terrified of spiders and getting wet).

Middle class pet Ponce occasionally leaves the comforts of his cushy home to slum it with the gang. He may be the butt of their jokes, but he does know where to find the finest smoked salmon and caviar.

Utterly shameless in being a scabby fleabag, Puke proudly devotes his time to bizarre and/or highly questionable activities, and there are no depths to which he won't sink in seeking the comfort of strangers.

A right hard nut and insult king, Fang revels in violence and chaos. He's the guy you want on your side when a fight breaks out... Most likely at his own provocation.

Chronically fed up with everything, Olive isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but does have the good sense to live in her own place upstairs, where it smells better than the gang's hideout.

She may be tiny and timid, but this inquisitive kid has a knack for asking the most profound questions. Her wide-eyed view of the world might just cause the adult cats to look inside and learn something about themselves.

Witty, down to earth and no-nonsense, Lara's the kind of female Gus might see himself shacking up with; if only he can drop his ridiculous 'player' façade...
