Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore (2010)
Just like real spies... only furrier.
The ongoing war between the canine and feline species is put on hold when they join forces to thwart a rogue cat spy with her own sinister plans for conquest.
In Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore, consciousness is carried by animals — a plane of “animal spy world”. The story fights on E8/E9/E11 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing prejudice, espionage, technology, trust, identity.
