The film will be directed by Oscar-winner Tom Hooper, who was behind The King's Speech, and the screenplay by Lee Hall, who is credited with dance drama Billy Elliot.
Cats has a long history on London's West End and on Broadway and is one of the most successful musicals of all time.
Filming will commence in November this year.
