Inspector Gadget is a lifelong lover of animals and a major contributor to the MSPCA. It's true, you can look at his tax returns. Anyway, when he found out that all of ALF's favorite foods are cat-based, he decided to take matters into his own extendable hands. Unfortunately for all of the poor, defenseless cats out there though, Inspector Gadget didn't have the stones to go through with it. Just as he was about to brain ALF with that hammer that was always coming out of his hat, ALF looked up at him with those big, black eyes and melted all of Inspector Gadget's anger away.
ALF now lives with Inspector Gadget in a two bedroom bungalow on the lower East side of Manhattan where they enjoy long walks in the park and endless games of Backgammon.
Seriously.
