Scratch is an American animated television series created by Doug TenNapel (also known for creating Earthworm Jim). It aired on Nickelodeon from July 9, 2005 to February 10, 2007. It was a loose adaptation of TenNapel's graphic novel, Gear, which in the series is also the name of the cats' monster truck. The series features music composed by longtime TenNapel collaborator, Terry Scott Taylor. Catscratch's first DVD appearance was on Nick Picks Vol. 3, which came out on February 7, 2006 (though the DVD contained only "Bringin' Down the Mouse").

Description

The series revolves around two anthropomorphic animals, Scratch, Squeeks and Spike . After their wealthy owner Edna Cramdilly died, she left her riches to them, along with a menacing, oversized monster truck named Gear and a dignified butler named Hovis. The program commonly chronicles their wealthy lifestyles and action-packed, sometimes paranormal experiences. Other characters include the sweet young neighbor girl, Kimberly, with whom Spike is obsessed, and the cats' competitive rivals the Chumpy Chump Brothers.

Characters

Main

• Scratch (voiced by Russi Taylor): The self-appointed leader of the group who's confident, pampered and vain. He often gets himself into major trouble and is prone to near-death injuries. Scratch is proud of his newly inherited riches and spends his money on anything and everything that spells respect and power. Scratch always insults his two friends. his catch phrases are, "Meow" and "Suckers!" He is the oldest of the three.
• Spike (voiced by Rob Paulsen): An outspoken member of the Highland Quid clan and acts like he's from Scotland despite the fact that he is not. However, he speaks with a thick stereotypical Scottish accent. He is kind-hearted, has a soft spot for "Human" Kimberly and loves to sing, which quite regularly angers his older brother, Scratch. He is also an excellent cook, usually cooking Scottish recipes, which a lot of people don't find edible. He has an orange patch on his right eye. The episode "Lovesick" shows he is allergic to both broccoli and chocolate, which cause disastrous effects upon contact. At first, the reaction seems to consist of typical allergic symptoms, such as sneezing, but he eventually into a Mr. Hyde-like monster, similar to a cat-like monster they were watching in a movie. his catch phrases are, "In the name of the Highland Quid Clan", "Feel my sting.", "Great gopher", "Cheer", and sometimes "Pop a Wheelie!". He is the shortest of the three, younger than Scratch and Sqeeks.
