[[WMG: The characters are actually ''humans'', and are viewed as "metaphorical cats".]]
The series will eventually reveal, that the characters were not actually cats, but just regular humans. The characters just appear as cats as an analogy to the illicit days of prohibition. Series Creator, Tracy Butler, has previously referred to the use of cats in the series as a writing device. In Universe, Rocky (who is known for being a Cloudcuckoolander) may be the character who views everybody as "metaphorical cats".
* To add to this theory, Butler has also designed 'human versions' of nearly every main character in the comic.
