Comingsoon.net is dead-set on petting each and every one of these movie cats. Check out our favorites in the gallery below!
Cats. You either love them or hate them, undoubtedly. There’s really no in-between. Hopefully, though, everyone has love in their hearts for movie cats. If you’re allergic, a movie cat is far enough removed to keep their dander away from your sinuses. If you’re scared of them, there’s no way these felines could hurt you. If you’re a dog, then… you’ll probably still hate these cats, probably. That’s the only exception. No object permeance.
Anyway, cats have been utilized in film since before the Golden Age and will continue to be used on-screen until their ultimate extinction (no matter how dark that is). Lovable sidekicks, evil entities, pets of leads, whatever. They’re all great, and the five best ones are here for you to enjoy.
Movie cats
-
Alien (1979)
Ridley Scott’s sci-fi groundbreaker, Alien is a masterful bit of space horror with an adorable cat to match.
-
Bringing Up Baby (1938)
While it’s not a house cat in the traditional sense, it’d be foolish to forget about Bringing Up Baby’s iconic use of a leopard.
-
House (1977)
A cult classic in its own right, there’s no doubt the cat in House inspires some adoptions even after all these years.
-
Inside Llewyn Davis (2013)
The Coen Brothers love folk music, undoubtedly—Inside Llewyn Davis is proof of this, with a sneaky orange cat serving as a visual representation of the unpredictability of Davis’s life.
-
The Godfather (1972)
Seeing Marlon Brando stroke that cat’s head as he delivers his monologues is enough to make any film fanatic or cat enthusiast swoon.
