== Synopsis ==
Conrad and Sally's mother is out again as aways, but instead of a rainy day, it's an snowy day. A very snowy day. They have nothing to do and hope that the Cat will come back, just like he said last time he met them. But, the Cat does come back and tries to make their fun even more fun and funnier! However, the Cat leaves a pink stain in the family bathtub, which spreads around the house as the children try to get rid of it. He then unveils a series of increasingly small cats from beneath his hat, the smallest of which resolves the problem. 
== Plot ==
After flashbacks from the first film, Conrad and Sally's mother leaves to work on a snow day. After she leaves, she gives them in instructions to clear away a large amount of snow, however, they are interrupted when the Cat in the Hat comes back to their house. Conrad tries to say hello to him, but Sally tells him not to talk or communicate with the Cat after what he did with the house last time before their mother came home.
Carlos K. Crinklebine, who is wildly annoyed by the cat, responds with "Oh boy. Here we go again." However, the Cat lets himself into their house to get out of the snow, and Conrad and Sally follows him in. When he reaches the bathroom, he finds the Cat eating a cake in the tub with the hot and cold water on. Conrad and Sally (who both lose their patience) scold the Cat for eating in the bathtub like a pig. They (along with Carlos) say that his work is done and he should leave but the Cat denies it.
Sally then turns off the water, only to find a long pink ring has formed around the sides of the bath tub. The Cat offers to help, but his preliminary attempts to remove the pink spot end in disaster as he only transfers the mess to a succession of one object after another. Conrad and Sally's mother's white dress, their father's $10 shoes, and many more including the walls of the house. Sally, who is angry at this responds with "CAT! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" Carlos then says that he has had enough of this before going in the basement, which also has pink walls and objects all over in there.
Unsure of how to remove the stain from the bed, the Cat calls on the help of Little Cat A, who lives inside his hat, who lifts his hat to reveal Little Cat B, and then Little Cat C. The three Little Cats go to work, transferring the stain to the television, then a pan, and finally outside with a fan. The Cat also calls in his secretary's, Thing One and Two. But Conrad looks out qthe window, and finds out that it is also spreading on the street. Trying to find out how to fix it, the Cat then tries to go to a friend to fix the problem while he trusts Conrad, Sally, and both of the Things to controls the Little Cats from messing up the house more then the pink stain does.
While Conrad, Sally, and The Things take care of Little Cats A & B, the Cat comes to the Snerzville Store and meets his long-time best friend / partner Theodore, in which Theodore has the perfect plan to fix the streets, in which people are going insane because of it. He closes down his store and takes him and the Cat into a secret passage where they can make an formula ingredient.
