description
Fat Freddy's Cat has no real name, his occasional nephew call him Uncle F . He lives in the apartment of the three Freak Brothers with Fat Freddy as the main reference person. The tomcat is at least as intelligent as its nominal owner. With this he shares the preference for food of all kinds without assuming the size of the body. As a rule, he gets along well with the non-bourgeois lifestyle of the three hippies or even benefits from it, but is not quite as inclined to use drugs as they do. If he is treated unfairly or forgotten at home, the furniture is destroyed or he does his business - which cats or animals in the comic have not done before - in boots, on headphones or other unsuitable places.
Other characters are the mice, which also live in the Freak Brothers apartment, and the cockroaches .
In addition to the more than a hundred short strips, there are also longer stories in which the Pied Piper of Hamelin is continued, the cat is the victim of a cockroach war , he saves the earth from the invasion of the Globs and survives the cat concentration camp .
