What happens in Miss Minoes from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
On a quiet night in the town of Killendoorn, a stray cat named Minoes drinks a mysterious liquid and wakes up as a human woman. Though transformed, she keeps several feline traits: a fear of dogs, the habit of meowing on the roof with other cats, a talent for catching mice, a comforting purr, and a penchant for eating raw fish.
She soon meets a shy journalist named Tibbe de Vries who works for the town’s newspaper. Tibbe is earnest but struggles to craft strong articles, and at first he doubts that Minoes is truly a cat in human form. Yet Minoes knows all kinds of quirky town news from the cats, and her information becomes a surprising boon for Tibbe’s reporting.
