MOVIE REVIEW
At a base in Germany, a worker delivering secret codes, finds a cocker spaniel puppy outside his office. He brings the puppy inside, showing her to his bloodhound. The bloodhound senses something is wrong with the puppy, starts to bark at her, making the worker take him outside. Both are locked out of the office. The Bloodhound looks in the window seeing the puppy taking pictures of the top secret documents and later revealing to be Kitty Galore (Bette Midler), a hairless cat. The Bloodhound turn outs to be an agent and reports to HQ.
In San Francisco, Diggs (James Marsden), a German Shepherd police dog and his master, Shane (Chris O'Donnell) are called to an hostage situation. Diggs deliberately ignores Shane's commands. He attacks the suspect causing him to release a device that Diggs grabs which causes a building to blow up. Butch (Nick Nolte ) and Lou (Neil Patrick Harris) are watching footage of the incident. Lou wants Diggs to be an agent with Butch as his mentor to help bring down Kitty Galore.
At the police station, Diggs is suspended and send back into the kennels. Shane wants to adopt Diggs but the police will not allow it. Butch recruits Diggs and takes him to HQ. Lou gives them a mission to track down a pigeon named Seamus (Katt Williams) who is an informat who apparently works for Kitty Galore.
After tracking down Seamus, Diggs and Butch meet a cat agent named Catherine (Christina Applegate) from MEOWS who's after the pigeon for the same reason the dogs are. The dogs learn from Catherine that Kitty Galore became a rogue agent after a mission against the dogs during which she was knocked into a vat of hair removal gel causing her to become bald, ridiculed by her cat comrades and later be kicked out of her human home. Kitty wants revenge, not only on dogs, but on humans and her cat comrades.
After bringing Catherine to HQ, Lou contacts Tab Lazenby (Roger Moore) of MEOWS and they form an alliance to take down Kitty Galore. Seamus reveals where a pigeon was going while working for Kitty. At a cat lady's home, they discover the middlecat that has been sending the parts to Kitty using one of the pigeons that work for her but doesn't know where she is hiding.
Needing help to find out where Kitty could be hiding, they go see Mr. Tinkles (Sean Hayes) who is locked up in a hidden prison on Alcatraz Island. Although he refuses to tell them Kitty's exact location he gives a hint to the group that all secrets are revealed in a cat's eye and that he is planning his escape. Kitty discovers through an imformat at the prison that the cats and dog working together and sends some of agents to attack them and capture Seamus on the boat returning from the prison.
After getting fed up with Diggs not listening to his commands, Butch leaves with Seamus to the pigeon's home to find clues. Catherine takes Diggs to her home. Catherine learns that Diggs has been in and out of kennels his whole life. She takes him to the Cat HQ. Diggs, Catherine and Tabs learn that Kitty is hiding at a fair grounds with her new master, a magician from a still picture from her video by looking in the eyes like Tinkles said.
Not long after arriving at the fair grounds Diggs and Catherine are captured by Kitty Galore and Paws. Kitty reveals that she plans to send a signals that only dogs can hear through televisons and cellphones to cause them to act hostile towards their humans. After escaping Kitty's death trap, Diggs and Catherine meet up with Butch and Seamus who were alerted by Tab and Lou.
Kitty uses a chair ride as a satellite dish to transmit the signal. Seamus accidentally pressing the button to start the program thinking it was the shutdown button. Dogs begin to attack hostile in their homes. Kitty orders Paws (which turns out to be a robot) to attack them. Diggs tricks Paws into biting one of the wires causing the dish to explode. The humans watching think it is a stunt by the magician. Kitty ends up getting tied up in cotton candy landing in the magician's hat.
After the mission, Diggs goes to live with Shane, who has been looking for Diggs since he escaped the police kennel. Diggs is called to HQ and is shown a live video showing that Mr. Tinkles has escaped from prison with the Calico. It is shown that Diggs, Butch, Catherine, and Seamus are still working together, hinting at the Cannon Films sequel that is provisionally titled Cats & Dogs 3; A Cheap Meal Alternative.
There is a post-credits scene with Mr. Tinkles and the Calico.
