Chrono-Cat began life as Charlie, the personal pet and lab mascot of the brilliant Dr Jarvis Fairbeard, who as the world's foremost expert of quantum physics was working on an experimental time machine. One day a test of the Time Machine goes dreadfully wrong, causing the molecules in Charlie to advance millions of years - making him a powerful and highly intelligent superbeing. Unfortunately, it also fused the cells of lab assistant Luther and pet goldfish Mr Tiddles, together making them a grotesque if vastly intelligent, evil, powerful creature.

Christened 'Chrono-Cat', he must travel time and space to save the world, his friends and himself.
