Characters

Main

Chloe (voiced by Babs Chula) is a sarcastic purple cat who has been reincarnated many times with her first life being in Ancient Egypt.
Viv (voiced by Lynda Boyd) is a music-loving pink rabbit who sings and dances. She has a backing band that lives in her top hat. She speaks with a British accent.
Chet (voiced by Lee Tockar) is a macho yellow horse who acts like a cowboy. His name is pun on the slang term Chad.
Squeaks (vocal effects provided by Ted Cole) is a red monkey who loves bananas and speaks in monkey language that the other characters understand.
