The digital era has given us many examples of the uncanny valley, but 'Cats' is the first movie to entirely set up shop there." Currently, the film holds a 17% "Rotten" score on review site Rotten Tomatoes from 101 reviews, as of midday Thursday.

The Butler County Sheriff's Dog Warden is investigating the case and is asking for help from the community in locating Dani's owner.

I'm sickened by this and would rather give to assist instead of dwelling on the negativity," one person posted on Facebook.

Rebel Wilson is loving all of the reactions to the first Cats trailer -- yes, even the bad ones!
