Ranking the Hottest Cat Movie Stars

That's right, cats.

Our feline friends have been stealing thunder from the rest of the animal kingdom on the Internet for ages now. Grumpy Cat, Lil' Bub, Keyboard Cat—they all have huge followings and deservedly loyal fan clubs. But their onscreen (that would be the big screen, here) counterparts have been given decidedly less attention. Why do we worship cats on Instagram yet give no love to those who so boldly stand beside Hollywood's biggest actors? We're calling foul on this practice.

This weekend's wacky comedy Keanu gave us just the reminder that we needed to give these kitties their time in the sun. The flick stars comedy duo Key & Peele as they traverse Los Angeles in search of their missing four-legged comrade, embedding themselves within a local drug-dealing gang in order to hatch a harebrained rescue mission. And were Jordan Peele and Keegan Michael-Key hilarious? Of course. Was the movie's writing so incredibly spot-on as to make us laugh down to our very innards? Duh. But the true star was that teeny tiny tabby, Keanu. His little meow darn stole the show, and was just begging for a look back at the best kitty costars.
