The story begins with the miller’s third and youngest son accepting his inheritance – a cat. At first the youngest son lamented that the elder brother had got the mill and the second brother the mule. However, this cat is not like any other cat, but a cat that asks for and gets a pair of boots. To enrich his master, the cat packs a rabbit in the forest as a gift from his master and presents it to the king in the name of the fictional Marquis of Calabasas. For several months, the cat continued to present the king with prey as gifts, and it was rewarded for it.
One day, the king decided to take his daughter for a ride. The cat persuades its owner to take off his clothes and enter the river where the carriage passes. The cat threw the owner’s clothes under a stone. As the royal carriage approached, the cat began calling for help in a state of excruciating distress (pretending to be its owner). When the king stopped to look, the cat told the king that its master had been bathing in the river, but someone had taken his clothes. Then the king took his master from the river, put him in rich clothes, and sat in a carriage with the princess, who fell in love with him at once.
The cat drove ahead of the wagon, ordering the country folks along the way to tell the king that the land belonged to the “Marquis of Calabasas,” and if they didn’t, he would cut them into pieces. Then the cat stumbles across a castle inhabited by an ogre who is capable of transforming itself into multiple creatures. The ogre demonstrates his powers by turning into a lion, which frightens the cat, who then tricks the ogre into becoming a mouse. The cat then pounces on the mouse and devours it. The king arrives at the castle that originally belonged to the ogre and is so impressed with the false marquis (ie the cat’s owner) and his estate that he marry the princess to the cat’s owner. Thereafter, the cat enjoys his life as a great lord, chasing mice just for his own entertainment.
