With a few exceptions, the images used in CAT TOWN are photographs of various cats in costumes, taken from CatPrin, a Japanese tailor for cats. The comic (and the rest of the site) relies for its humor primarily on the absurdity of its images, dialogue, and plots, and is written in all caps to underscore this absurdity. The hero of the TV show is El Guapo, who generally saves the day after the Animal Hat Gang commits or attempts to commit some sort of caper.
Notwithstanding its campy nature, CAT TOWN has acquired a certain amount of continuity in recent episodes. In a recent story arc, the show was cancelled and replaced with DOGVILLE, a complete ripoff of the CAT TOWN show, with the site redesigned accordingly for the duration of the story.
History of Cat Town According to the latest episode, Mayor Sailor Suit cat has been in office for two terms. Before that, his father was in office. And before his father came into the mayoral office, Cat Town was "WERE RULED BY A SUCCESSION OF FEUDAL LORDS AND BENEVOLENT DESPOTS."
