Have you ever seen the movie "Like Cats and Dogs"? I confess that two or three times, although I don't quite like it (I know what you're thinking: »then why have you seen it so much?» Well, for my nephews).
If your answer to the question was no, don't worry. Next I will explain what it is about.
Synopsis of Like Cats and Dogs
It is the story of a Persian named Mr. Tinkles eager for power who decides to do everything possible for cats to conquer the world. To do this, he fights a battle against dogs, led by canine agents who have been protecting humans forever.
But the dogs do not have it easy: one of the main field dogs has retired and they have been forced to replace him with a beagle puppy named Lou, who will have to fight against Mr. Tinkles and his army.
