When we heard that this year would bring a new adaptation of Stephen King’s Pet Sematary, the biggest question wasn’t who would be cast as protagonist Louis Creed or whether significant changes would be made to the original’s story of a grieving family and a spooky magic cemetery.

As shown on his Instagram—Tonic is, of course, a cat with an Instagram—the fluffy little fella arrived on the red carpet ready for his moment with neatly groomed fur and a smart plaid tie.
