Plot

The series follows Cookie, Pudding and their little sister Candy. They like to play, eat sweets and investigate about things around them. Every day their inquisitive mind leads the three kittens to new adventures. With the wise advice of their caring parents, the kittens solve all the problems and everything always end well. With their friends Cupcake, Chase, Boris, Smudge, Mustard, Bow, Raisin and Dart, they have very fun and interesting times investigating new things around them every day.

Many other cats live in the town. They all have different ways of doing things but it always comes to a common decision. Catopolis AKA Meowli City is a safe and peaceful place where little kittens under the care of their parents learn how to think and take decisions, empathize and be friends.

In every episode, Cookie, Candy and Pudding, along with Dad, Mom, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Muffin, Aunt Cinnamon and their little cousin Bagel, try to make the world a better place for their family and friends.

Characters

Main
  • Cookie (Russian - Коржик (Shortbread / Korzhik) - (Voiced by Lori Gardner and Kate Bristol) - the most restless and hyperactive kitten. He is brave and the first one to propose bold and smart ideas seeking to act only, he cannot focus of his attention on just one thing, and his mind flows, jumping from one to another proposal. He is seen to be energetic and keen on sports and likes outdoor games, such as football and badminton, and he is fond of archery, just like his grandma. He can be very helpful to his parents, whenever he's needed. He is the second kitten to be born in the family, and he is also the middle child.
  • Pudding (Russian - Компот (Compote)) - (Voiced by Billy Bob Thompson) (David Holt) (UK Dub) an inquisitive and very knowledgeable kitten for his age.

When she wins contests, she usually acts victorious by being quite bossy to her older brothers. Having different interests among her elderly brothers, she is quite a lot smaller than they are. However, this family “runt” is just as mature and emotionally smart as the boys are (and sometimes finds a way to help the adults!). Having subconscious worldly wisdom very often, it is usually (not all the time!) Candy who finds a way out of difficult situations. It happens that copying her mother's behavior, she helps and works with her brothers to finding a solution to the problem. Her key phrases are "I know what to do!", or "I have a good idea!".
