The first trailer for Tom Hooper's (Les Misérables, The King's Speech) Cats was released this week and it's the Internet's current favorite topic. The footage has sparked countless memes, jokes, and even some hilarious/terrifying mash-ups. Many people find the CGI to be disturbing, but humans aren't the only ones who aren't impressed. According to some hilarious Twitter videos, cats are also not feeling the upcoming musical.

"I showed my cat the Cats trailer," @JKBartleby wrote.

As you can see, their cat looks less than enthused, and it's hilarious. Interestingly, the cat is named Eponine, which is the name of a character from Les Misérables, so this cat CLEARLY knows her musicals.

The video sparked some hilarious reactions:

"'They passed on me for *this*?,'" @AryehCW wrote.

"SHE LOOKS SP DISAPPOINTED she's like why do humans do this," @ruthlessgame131 added.

"'This is cultural a-purr-priation,'" @dan_sully joked.

Some people shared their own cats' reactions:

Based on Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical of the same name, the new movie will follow a tribe of cats called the Jellicles, who, over the course of one night, make what is known as "the Jellicle choice" and decide which cat will ascend to the Heaviside Layer and come back to a new life. The new film stars Taylor Swift as Bombalurina, Idris Elba as Macavity, Jennifer Hudson as Grizabella, James Corden as Bustopher Jones, Rebel Wilson as Jennyanydots, Jason Derulo as Rum Tum Tugger, Ian McKellen as Gus the Theatre Cat, and Judi Dench as Old Deuteronomy.
