Here's What the Cast of Cats Looks Like Compared to Their Real-Life Cat Counterparts

Mild spoilers ahead for the not-so-sensical plot of Cats, in case you weren't someone who went to theater camp or saw the show once with your grandma.

For the 2019 movie version of the theatrical phenomenon, CGI is used to create the illusion of feline fur rather than throwing the actors in spandex and crossing their fingers like every amateur production before them. The result? Human-cats.

How do they match up to their real-life counterparts? Let's see!

Dench is an Academy Award-winning actress and this cat was once nominated for an A-Cat-demy Award for Lead Cat-ress in a Musical.

Swift and this cat have a lot in common, but mostly it's the fact that they are both absolutely nailing their musical number, "Macavity: The Mystery Cat."

Grizabella the Glamour Cat has seen better days. Plus, everyone keeps treating her like crap, even though all she wants to do is belt "Memory" and then finally die.

You've gotta be kitten me! The resemblance is uncanny (or should we say uncatty?), which can only mean that this kitten can also do a full ballet number like Hayward does in the movie adaptation.

Is there anything more ~*dramatic*~ than a cat whose name is really 'Asparagus' going by 'Gus the Theatre Cat' instead?

We aren't fat shaming, this cat's entire character is based on the fact that he's a "25-pounder." Listen, he loves himself and everyone else loves him, too. Just look at that hat!

Meow! The Rum Tum Tugger "doesn't care for a cuddle" and "will do as he do do," which ... really does describe both rockstars and felines!

Jennyanydots is a "Gumbie Cat" which ... it's anyone's guess what that is, but we do know from Andrew Lloyd Webber's song that she "sits and sits and sits and sits," and that's allegedly "what makes a Gumbie Cat."

Macavity is a mystery cat who is always up to his whiskers in trouble, and this cat looks like he's ready to stir some up himself.
