Move over E.T., there’s a new star in town!!

David and Sarah Chapman’s 4-year-old cats, Willow and Tara, are taking the internet by storm by recreating iconic moments from some of Hollywood’s biggest films. Each week the cats have the chance at a starring role recreating iconic movie scenes.

They have been in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.

According to BuzzFeed, the owners “came up with the idea to re-create movie scenes with their cats for a pub quiz that David runs.”

“We look at famous movie scenes and think, How could we do this with our cats?” Chapman said. “If it’s possible and seems silly enough, then we have a go.”

After that, the Instagram account was born. They even created a separate account to show the making of the pictures. Each picture takes about two hours to create.

“Our cats are fairly laid back, so they’re pretty happy as long as treats are involved,” Chapman said.

Both David and Sarah Chapman were surprised by their viral success, but are glad they are making people happy with their silly recreations.

“It’s a good feeling knowing you’ve made a lot of people smile,” Sarah Chapman said.
