Miss Minoes

One night a cat named Minoes drinks a can of chemical liquid dropped from a truck and undergoes a transformation into a human woman. As a human, she keeps feline traits such as fear of dogs, meowing on the roof with other cats, catching mice, purring, and eating raw fish. The change happens on a road near Killendoorn.

Minoes encounters Tibbe de Vries, a shy journalist for the local paper in Killendoorn. He initially struggles to believe that a cat in human form can know the town's news. Minoes explains that cats can gather information and offers to share scoops with him in exchange for food and shelter.

Minoes agrees to assist Tibbe with his articles, guiding him to stories the cats have gathered. In return she gains food and a place to stay. Tibbe, slow to trust, begins to see journalism as more than his own solitary effort.

With the Cat Press Service, the cats bring in fresh tips that feed Tibbe's reporting. His articles become sharper and more popular, earning him a reputation as a top journalist in Killendoorn. The partnership redefines his career.

Minoes convinces Tibbe to tackle the one big story no one dares publish: a profile of Mr. Ellemeet, the wealthy factory owner. Tibbe is reluctant because the truth could topple a respected figure. She insists that the cats know something is wrong and urges him to publish.

After Minoes persuades him, Tibbe publishes the Ellemeet article. The town immediately turns its back on him, and his professional credibility collapses. He loses his job and is nearly evicted from his apartment as fear and anger ripple through Killendoorn.

Minoes helps set up a sting to prove Ellemeet's cruelty toward cats. They arrange cameras and surveillance to capture footage of him shooting at cats. The plan hinges on public exposure more than on mere rumor.

The footage from the sting shows Ellemeet harming cats, confirming the cats' suspicions. The town is shocked, and Ellemeet's public facade begins to crumble. The revelation rekindles heat around Tibbe and supports the cats' cause.

In a moment of doubt, Minoes considers eating a bullfinch, a mythical herb that could revert her to a cat. She weighs the comfort of her old life against the possibility of losing her humanity. The choice lingers as she tests her heart against her new love for Tibbe.

Ultimately she decides to stay human and embrace her relationship with Tibbe. The two grow closer, sharing trust and plans for the future. Her love for him convinces her that remaining human is worth the cost of not becoming a cat again.

During the film's resolution, the couple's bond is solidified, and they move forward together. The credits reveal that Tibbe and Minoes have married, sealing their unusual romance. The Cat Press Service continues to influence their life and work.

With the help of the Cat Press Service, Tibbe becomes known for the best articles in Killendoorn. The cats' news network sustains his public profile and keeps his journalistic edge sharp. The final tone celebrates their partnership and community.
