Plot
Three little kittens live in a little town. Cookie, Pudding and their little sister Candy, as any kids, like to play, eat sweets and investigate about things around them. Every day their inquisitive mind leads the three kittens to new adventures. With wise advice of their caring parents, the kittens solve all the problems and everything always end well. With their friends Cupcake, Chase, Boris, Caddy, Sugarplum, Smudge, Mustard, Bow, Raisin Dart and Jerry, they have very fun and interesting times.
Many other cats live in the town. They all have different ways of doing things but it always comes to a common decision. Catspolis 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 encounter a situation that requires action. Rather than jump into action, these three love to jump in with enthusiastic and often absurd suggestions for how to tackle the problem: pizza delivery by rocket ship, indoor snow sculptures, or steamroller bicycles.
