A Cat's Life

A Cat's Life

‘A great film for cat fans—and animal lovers in general’ — Common Sense Media

A tender coming-of-age story about the unbreakable bond between a young girl and a rescue cat.

When Clémence discovers a kitten in her Parisian attic, she immediately falls in love with him and names him Lou. The pair form a close friendship that only strengthens as the bond between Clémence’s parents begins to unravel. When the whole family venture to the countryside for a much-needed family's vacation, Lou's curiosity leads to a series of thrilling adventures in the woods. Discovering new friendships and dangers unfamiliar to a city cat, Lou's journey unfolds, marking a transformation from a curious kitten to a brave and adventurous cat. As the world around Clémence and Lou changes, the two will need each other more than ever.
