Role in movie

Ancient Times

Ancient picture depicts cats attacking the sleepwalker.

After humanity discovered the Sleepwalkers' weakness against cats, they uses cats to purge them all to the near extinction. Since they have natural hatred on Sleepwalkers as much as with dogs (as cats can detect any Sleepwalkers' presence and able to see through their illusion), cats whom participating in the hunt decided to follow their master willingly and working together as a team to do so. It appears that these cats would pass their experience to their descendants, whom eventually passed to the cats that lived in Travis, Indiana. Though this may also implied as the reasons why they join forces with Clovis to destroy two Sleepwalkers, not all cats in present days learned how to deal with Sleepwalkers if they ever encountered one: At the beginning of the movie, it was shown that one cat has survived from two Sleepwalkers’ attack on a town before they moved to Indiana where the others butchered by traps around the Sleepwalkers’ former lair. It escaped after the police 

inadvertly open the cupboared where it trapped into along with the latest Sleepwalker’s victim. It’s unknown if this surviving cat later warned the others about it’s experience.

Alarmed by Sleepwalkers' presence in the town

Note: The first paragraph of this section is the speculation about how Clovis convinced the whole cats in the town to surround the Sleepwalker's lair and led them to attack any Sleepwalkers on sight, and may not entirely inconsistent in the events of the movie.

Swarm of pet cats rally to surround the Sleepwalkers' house

The still-mourning Clovis then left while other police members secured Andy's dead body and escorted the traumatized Tanya back home. He then met his fellow cat friends in the town and told them about his tragic experience with Charles. This alarmed the other cats, whom told him about Sleepwalkers and the dangers that they pose on humanity and why humans using their ancestors to detect these monsters and eradicate them to prevent any harm. Some cats that hear about this then support Clovis' statement as they became suspicious on the mysterious newcomers (Mary and Charles that happened to be the Sleepwalkers). Cats that hearing Clovis' story then convince some of their fellow cat friends to amass an army of cats to eradicate the beasts for good from their town, and had Clovis to be the leader.

Soon after, the words about the Sleepwalkers' presence in the town has already spread through the entire town, which causes the whole pet cats to swarmed to their enemies' lair, which some of them led the way to the Sleepwalker's lair.

Attack on Sleepwalkers' lair

Cats has surrounded the house

By the time Mary, whom caught Tanya arrived on their house, Clovis and his friends are already surrounded the house. This prompt Mary to crash her car into the house, much to their frustation. Unfortunately, one of his friends recklessly charged on Mary, and ended up had it's spine shattered. With one of his fellow cat fallen due to it’s reckless action and no longer return, Clovis decided to scheming another strategy. Coincidentally, a policeman whom still suspicious with the house came along and met Clovis and the cats. While the policeman may oblivious with why he and his friends surrounded the house, Clovis realized that the police may won’t stand a chance, so he decided to risk himself to infiltrate the Sleepwalkers’ house.

As the policeman finally entered the house, Clovis discovered that prolonged physical contact on Maya could causes the beast to combusts. Realizing this, he jumped away and calling 4 of the cats from the outside to lung toward Mary. This works again where her body began to engulf with smoke. But unfortunately, while the first 3 tries to scratch her back with little to no difficulty, the fourth one make a fatal mistake by trying to scratch her face, resulting 

her grab it and snapped it’s neck, killing it in process. The police tries to calmed Tanya, only for her to runaway to the back door. Upon seeing the partially transformed Mary tossed away the dead cat, he shoots her on the chest, prompt the cat that still attempt to tear her back jumped away in panic, resulting her revealing her true form.

As the police tries to move her away for safety to the outside, cats that surrounds the house notices that the front door opens, prompt Clovis to hisses to prompt both humans away. Unfortunately, Mary catchs up and threw the police to a nearby bear-trap(the only trap that she could prepare as the cats already surrounded the house), where just as Mary entered the car, she shattered the glass and tries to pull her out. The wounded police tries to stop her, only for her grabbed him and impale the police to the picket fence that surround the house. As Mary resume her attempt for claim Tanya’s live, Clovis sees the opening and scratch the back on her head. As he slashes his paws, he rally the whole cats to do the same.

Cats as they watch Mary consumed by flames

With many of them scratch her alive, Mary now unable to resist: any cats that she tossed away would replaced by another that ready to strike, and her effort would eventually vain. Just then, one of the attacking cats successfully ignites the flame on her cheeks like a lighter, which trigger the chain reaction on her wounds that set her body ablaze. Fortunately, the attacking cats managed to move away for safety, as they watch Mary engulfed by flames and dies, but not before she released a final scream, “YOU KILLED MY SON!!! MY ONLY SON!!!”

Aftermath

With no more Sleepwalkers left, all surviving cats decided to return to their home. However, with Mary implies that there are still some surviving Sleepwalkers still remaining on the earth, it apeared that the war between these species yet to over.
