Godcat, voiced by Tom Ellis, drops into an average suburban family, the Higgins. It's His first assignment; the mission to get the family to bond.

After several failed attempts at pulling the Higgins family closer, Godcat eventually succeeds, and expects to be instantly teleported back to heaven. Of course, that doesn't happen...
