Attristé par la condition de son maître, un pauvre meunier, un chat lui demande une paire de bottes. Ainsi chaussé, il rend régulièrement visite au roi, à qui il fait de nombreux présents de la part de son maître, un certain marquis de Carabas. Un jour, le chat pousse le meunier à se baigner dans une rivière et s’empare de ses vêtements. Il court alerter le palais afin qu’on pare son maître d’habits nobles et neufs.

Lorsqu’il se change enfin en souris, le chat le dévore et prend possession de son château... pour mieux l’offrir au marquis de Carabas !
