The comic follows a family of cats, headed by the geeky harried [[AuthorAvatar Fran]] and her husband, Joel, as they raise two quirky kitten-sons, Vincent (oldest) and Cooper (youngest). Much of its humor relies on relatable parenting mishaps inspired by the authors' own kids, with some other jokes based on the WorldOfFunnyAnimals setup. Compare ''WesternAnimation/{{Bluey}}''.
