The book contains a sequence from spring to winter from the first person perspective of a male young gray house cat with blue eyes who lives with a single man. After his birth, the cat Schnurr discovers a completely unknown world in which he explores all sorts of nonsense and experiences amazing things. He is introduced to the customs of a cat's life in the big city by two stray cats, first by the yellow kitty and then by a cat Whitebeard.

With the beginning of summer, the cat Schnurr travels with his owner to a rural summer house near a pond. In this environment, the cat Schnurr experiences other exciting adventures for him. Among other things, he makes the acquaintance of a rabbit, a hedgehog and a snake. He also met the contentious yolk-yellow tomcat for the first time. On another outing with his master, they save a frightened young cat, later called Kiki, from a crowd of raging children, with whom the cat Schnurr falls in love. When Kiki is kidnapped by the yolk-yellow tomcat, it comes to a big fight, which Schnurr wins.

At the beginning of autumn the two cats travel back to the big city with their "two-legged friend" where they meet their old friends again. With the first snowflakes of the approaching winter, the pair of cats have offspring and the story ends.
