Later, on the rooftops of Paris, the cats were getting tired, and they rest up at a dilapidated flat House, where a gang of jazz-playing cats live. After Scat Cat's performance, Duchess and Her kittens rest up as O'Malley felt that Duchess doesn't want a life as a stray, but wishes the best of luck finding a mother for Cassoulet. The next morning, Duchess and Her younglings reach home. But, the moment Elvira heard, She traps them in a sack, and stuffs them in a shed. Roquefort, who saw it, leaves the mansion calling for help. O’Malley who heard tells Cassoulet and Roquefort to get Scat Cat’s gang for help, which they do, despite some interference.

At the Seine River, Elvira intends to toss the cats into a passing mail carriage that will take them, to who knows where, until O’Malley interferes. But, as Elvira was about to toss O’Malley in the river, Scat Cat’s gang come to the rescue, until She threatens to toss O’Malley in the river if they don’t back off. Thankfully, Napoleon and Lafayette, who followed Edgar, bark at Elvira, who is soon arrested by the police, thanks to Edgar telling the police after seeing cat fur in the basket. Upon returning home, The Cats see Edgar with some luggage, ready to tell Adelaide to He’s resigning as Her butler. But, Adelaide who saw him, asked Edgar to stay. With some time, and convincing from the cats, Edgar decides not to resign.

Once the speech was over, the cats return to the estate, with saddened hearts. At a balcony, Duchess looks at the night sky as O’Malley is alongside Her. He then says to her, “Look, the Future can be kind or cruel at any given moment, but if We dwell on the past, then... what’s the point of looking forward?” Duchess sheds a tear, and says that He’s right. They watch the night sky as Cassoulet sees a shooting star, and says, “that falling star, is that Adelaide, Mama Duchess?” Duchess responds, “I think it is.”
