Story
Dino - a cat that leads a double life. During the day, he lives with Zoe, a little girl whose mom, Djinn, works in the police. At night, the cat works with the robber Niko. Zoe hasn't said a word since her father was killed by the men of the gangster Victor Costa. One day, Dino brings a precious bracelet to a girl, which, as it later turns out, was part of a stolen jewelry collection. Zoe decides to follow Dino and discovers that the cat and the stranger are walking away over the rooftops. Returning, she hears a conversation of gangsters who have conceived the bad against her mother. In addition, the same criminal group includes the girl’s nanny.

Criticism
The cartoon was well received by most world film critics [3] :
- “The peculiarity of the cartoon is a smart hand-drawn animation. A detective story about a cat, a hacker and a girl whose mother is a policeman with revenge reminds of the children's animated version of Alfred Hitchcock's and Roman Polanski 's thrillers ” - Mike Hale, The New York Times [4] .
- “The fascinating French animation, directed by Alain Gagnol and Jean-Loup Félicioli, tells of a cat pet during the day and a robber at night. All male characters in the cartoon have stinging bristles on their arms and legs, and the characters' noses resemble Modigliani 's paintings ” - Leba Hertz, San Francisco Chronicle [5] .
- ““ Cat's life ”is a cartoon, yes, but the plot, its background and the mature theme are aimed directly at adults who are able to appreciate the addition of drama to the animation style” - Robin Clifford, Reeling Reviews [3] .
