I have always loved cats and I like watching movies about cats. And yes, I have a cat myself. Swedish author Gösta Knutsson created the classic character Pelle Svanslös and his friends, who appears in a whole book series. The classic stories have been adapted into both animated movies, a live action movie and what in Sweden is called a "julkalender" (a kind of TV series reaching to the whole family and the plot always takes place around Christmas). I think the 1997 "julkalender" with Björn Kjellman as Pelle Svanslös is by far the best adaptation of the classic stories ever.
With that said, I don't think this is a bad adaptation. It's not a masterpiece but it's well worth a watch. I like the music and the animation is also very good. But it's a bit too influenced by Disney and Pelle Svanslös and his friends has never felt like Disney characters. Don't get me wrong - I love Disney and they have made many of the best animated movies of all time, but the Disney template doesn't fit all animated films.
