The Cat That Stole James Bond’s Thunder

Hollywood has a long history of animal actors. which is said to have begun with the first animal to ever appear onscreen in 1879 – the moving images of a horse were captured on the zoopraxiscope, the precursor to the movie projector. Animals have featured prominently since then, in a variety of starring roles. The first animal actor is said to be a rough collie named Blair who starred as Rover in the 1905 film, "Rescued By Rover." But it was Jean, a tricolor Scotch collie from Maine, who became the first American dog star, featuring in 25 silent films.

Having an animal in a film or on set isn't ideal for everyone. Famed comedic movie star W.C. Fields once said, "Never work with children or animals" because he felt they were unpredictable and would command the spotlight. He might not have been all that wrong, which the animals listed here can attest to.

To identify the most legendary animal film stars, 24/7 Tempo reviewed IMDb, an online movie and TV database owned by Amazon, to find some of the most popular pet movies, as well as films, in which pets play a featured role.Our list is a real Noah's Ark. Dogs lead the charge, with the majority of appearances, but there are also cats, an owl, a parrot, a fish, and other creatures. (Don't miss the official pets and animals of every state.)

Here is the cat that stole James Bond's thunder and other legendary movie pets.
