"Mickey", "Minnie" and "Pluto" are safely ensconced indoors on a cold and wintry Christmas Eve. She's playing the organ accompanying her own rather tone deaf signing, he is doing the tree and the dog is sleeping in front of a roaring fire. The door bell rings and a basket is found outside. In it comes - and boy, do they quickly wish they'd just left well alone. It's a cat, and another cat, and another... Think "101 Dalmatians" only add a zero. Comic chaos ensues with their home now a playpen for the miscreant and increasingly nasty pussies. The residents have to come up with a plan to be shot of their unwanted guests - but how? Some of the cat antics start off quite fun and they even, politely, dance to "Minnie" on her piano but after a very short while the joke wears a bit thin and the film becomes actually quite annoying as the cats begin more to resemble locusts!
