Two cats, Pim and Pom, are best friends who live together with “The Lady.” But one day, the lady’s nieces come to visit, and they take the cats to the park for a picnic. However, what they really want to do is keep Pim and Pom for themselves, and they’ve come up with a plan to “cat-nap” them! 

The kitties manage to escape the girls’ clutches, but soon, they are tired, lost, and hungry. Just then, a band of alley cats appears to show them the ropes of surviving on the streets. Will Pim and Pom ever be able to stay together and find their way home? A musical, gentle and yet action-packed film about the power of friendship, with a stylish 1960s look that will make Mom and Dad smile, too.

Note for parents: This is a film made for very young children, but the plot is about two lost cats who sometimes face dangers as they try to find their way home. Some scenes might be too intense for the most extremely sensitive young viewers. But it won’t spoil anything to say the movie has a very happy ending!
