Set in Paris, France, in 1910, the story centers around a mother cat named Duchess and her three kittens, Marie, Berlioz and Toulouse. The cats live in the mansion of retired opera singer Madame Adelaide Bonfamille, along with her English butler Edgar. Also living on the estate are Frou-Frou (a horse) and Roquefort (a mouse who is a good friend of the cats).

Madame Adelaide wants to settle her will with her lawyer Georges Hautecourt, an aged but eccentric old friend of hers. Madame Adelaide wishes Edgar to look after her beloved cats until they die and then he will get the fortune. Edgar hears this from his room and miscalculates that the cats each have nine lives all together and he believes he will be dead before he gets Madame Adelaide's fortune (although he does not know that he himself will be in charge of the fortune while looking after the cats). He decides to remove the cats so he gets the fortune. He sedates the cats by putting a special potion in their milk and then heads out into the country side to remove them. However, there are two hound dogs Napoleon and LaFayette who think Edgar is an intruder. The dogs attack Edgar by biting him on the rear end, ripping a part of his pants off, and giving him a big chase. Edgar leaves behind his umbrella, hat, baby basket, and side of the motorcycle. The cats are left in the country side, Madame Adelaide, Roquefort and Frou-Frou discovering their absence. The cats meet Thomas O'Malley, a friendly and flirtatious alley cat who offers to guide them back to Paris.

The cats have a struggle returning to the city, briefly hitchiking on the back of a milk cart before being chased off by the driver. Marie falls into a river and is saved by O'Malley. They then meet a pair of English geese, Amelia and Abigail Gabble, who are heading for Paris. The group head off, marching like geese, until they reach Paris and come across the girls' drunken Uncle Waldo. Uncle Waldo and the girls depart to take Waldo home. Travelling across the rooftops of the city, the cats meet Scat Cat and his band, close friends to O'Malley and they have a musical evening. O'Malley and Duchess spend a moment of the rooftop together, falling in love, although Duchess becomes worried that it will trouble Madame Adelaide. Edgar, meanwhile, retrieves his motorcycle, umbrella and hat from Napoleon and Layafette (who had made beds out of them) with some difficulty.

The cats make it back to the mansion, O'Malley departing. However, Edgar sees them coming and captures them, places them in a sack and briefly throws them into the oven. The cats tell Roquefort to pursue O'Malley and get help. He does so, but O'Malley races back to the mansion, Roquefort having to find Scat Cat and his gang. Edgar places the cats in a trunk which he plans to send to Timbuktu, Africa. However, O'Malley, Scat Cat and his gang, and Fru-Fru all fight Edgar to free the cats. In the end, Edgar falls into the trunk, is locked inside and sent to Timbuktu in replacement of the cats. Madame Adelaide's will is rewritten, Edgar removed due to his absence, and Madame Adelaide starts a charity for all of Paris' cats.
