Plot
Many years after his adventures with Shrek, Puss in Boots is accidentally crushed by a church bell after subduing a giant during a party in the town of Del Mar. As he recovers, the town doctor advises him to retire because he has already lost eight of his nine lives. Puss initially refuses but relents when he is wounded and disarmed while dueling a wolf bounty hunter at the local pub. A traumatized Puss decides to follow the doctor's advice and move into elderly cat lady Mama Luna's home to live as a house cat.
Months later, Puss meets an optimistic chihuahua disguised as a cat, whom he calls Perrito. Crime family Goldilocks and the Three Bears soon arrive at Mama Luna's home, intending to hire Puss to help them steal a map displaying the location of the Wishing Star. They leave after finding his apparent grave, and Puss decides to find the Star to wish for another nine lives.
Puss, joined by Perrito, starts his quest by heading to the factory lair of the corrupt pastry chef and magical artifact collector "Big" Jack Horner, who intends to use the Star to control all of the world's magic. While stealing the map, Puss encounters his resentful ex-fiancée Kitty Softpaws, who also wants the map. Goldi, the Bears, and Horner discover and chase down the trio, and Puss briefly sees the wolf in the distance. They all end up in the Dark Forest, a pocket dimension that manifests illusions of travelers' memories. During the subsequent clash, Puss suffers a panic attack and flees after the wolf reappears, allowing Goldi to take the map from Kitty.
