While it was originally advertised as being for children, the themes certainly proved that wrong. The series originally lasted from August to September, 2007, on Creator/{{ABC}} with only six episodes broadcasted. It was revived in 2009, with 6 new episodes, only being shown on the ABC website. Resulting in a total of 12 episodes. While the animation style is similar to ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', it was actually animated by Creator/FilmRoman.

''Slacker Cats'' is about two FunnyAnimal cats and their quotidian, strange and outrageous adventures. The animation style is similar to contemporary cartoons such as ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''. Main plots of the show revolve around Buckley and Eddie's schemes to escape the everyday monotony of being house cats by taking advantage of humans (as well as other cats) to freewheel themselves in the fictional city of Wendell, California.
