Disc 1 - Volume 1
1. Bitter Chocolate
Oggy gets a box of deluxe-chocolate delivered to his house and gets inside to enjoy it. But the cockroaches (quite obviously) have decided to take it all for themselves.
2. It's All Under Control
The cockroaches decide to jump into Jack's head, take over his brain and control him to wreak havoc all around the place - including Oggy, if necessary. Unfortunately for them, this is going to be easier said than done...
3. French Fries
After making some french fries, Oggy intends on having a well-deserved snack... that is, if he can take them back from the cockroaches first.
4. Mission Oggy
After getting himself trapped in a drink bottle, cockroach Dee Dee is kidnapped by Oggy and locked up in the fridge. Upon seeing this, Marky and Joey attempt to get past Oggy's newly installed defences and save their fellow roach by all means, at all costs.
5. It's Been a Hard Days Noise
Oggy wants to listen to his music CD in peace, but the cockroaches decide to pump up the volume into and beyond acceptable limits.
6. The Patient
Jack ends up frozen in a block of ice while chasing the cockroaches so Oggy nurses him. Unfortunately the cockroaches have changed Jack's medicine for an evil concoction of their own.
7. Shake Oggy Shake (Boogy Woogy)
Oggy and Jack were washing clothes and dishes for chores but, for obvious reasons, the cockroaches crank Oggy's coffee up QUITE a notch as to make Oggy do everything very fast.
Disc 2 - Volume 2
1. The Rise and the Fall
Jack is building a skyscraper in Oggy's back garden. However, when helping in the making of this building, Oggy experiences a complete acrophobia until Jack helps to get him to sleep. But the problems are just getting started. Oggy is sleepwalking, and to make matters worse, the cockroaches are around to sabotage the skyscraper at all costs.
2. It's A Small World
Using a photocopier, Oggy shrinks himself down to the cockroaches' size in order to infiltrate their home and take back the key to his padlocked fridge.
3. Happy Birthday
The good news: Oggy is having a birthday party, and Jack's invited (he stacks champagne glasses for the party). The weird news: the cockroaches are also invited, and up to no good again, as usual. Even worse, Oggy develops suicidal tendencies later on following an unintentional accident (which Jack triggered), forcing Jack to try and protect him for as long as he can, even if it means taking the lumps himself.
4. Metamorphosis
After consuming a piece of irradiated chocolate (obviously placed in the box by the cockroaches), Oggy transmutates into a cockroach himself! How will Jack react to this?
5. Jealousy
Oggy invites his date over to his house for dinner. However, he starts to get jealous when cockroach Marky falls in love with her. And soon, this jealousy will escalate a brawl...
6. Wrong Side of the Bed
Superstitious Oggy finds out that today is Friday the 13th, and starts acting paranoid. And as always, the cockroaches are willing to take full advantage of his dilemma.
7. Go Slow With Your Dough
Jack has to pay a debt. He brings into Oggy's house a suitcase full of money, for Oggy to look after it. And Oggy becomes paranoid knowing that all that money is in his house.

The show centers on Oggy, a content and lazy, albeit very tender fat blue cat, who would usually spend his days watching TV or doing something - if it wasn't for the three roaches in the household: Joey, Dee Dee and Marky (named after members of the punk group Ramones). The trio seems to enjoy generally making Oggy's life miserable, which involves mischief ranging from (in most cases) plundering his fridge to such awkward things like hijacking the train Oggy just boarded. Oggy usually finds creatures accompanying him to the end of the episode, such as crabs, clams, a horse, a very technologically advanced child, a puppy, and an octopus. However, it's not always Oggy who wins. The cartoon itself relies on slapstick humour, much like its 'ancestor', Tom and Jerry, only amplifying the level of extremities up a notch; while 'traditional' slapstick cartoon characters prefer dropping anvils and pianos on each other, this show sometimes uses even buses or submarines. Despite these however, most gags are easily accessible and enjoyable for younger viewers. Since dialog is kept to a minimum the humour is entirely visual. Oggy's cousin Jack, green and smart cat, wants to find new plans to kill the Cockroches while their neighbour, Bob the big bulldog is fed up about any accidents (which he makes Oggy and/or Jack beaten).
