Popular TV actor Norman Reedus of "Walking Dead" is featured in People's Sexiest Man Alive 2013 "Cool Cats" section. He can be seen on PEOPLE cuddling with his black cat named "Eye in the Dark".

When asked about being chosen as part of People's Sexiest Man Alive 2013, Reedus said that he didn't think he was sexy enough.

"The first thing that went through my mind when I was told about this PEOPLE shoot was 'Sexy? Wait, I'm not sexy. How am I gonna pull that off?' And then they told me 'Oh, you're gonna do it with your cat.' So, I thought 'Good, everyone will just be looking at the cat,'" said Reedus in a video of the PEOPLE photo shoot.

He also talked about his cat's unconventional name.

"My cat's name is 'Eye in the Dark,'" Reedus said in the video by PEOPLE.

"At that time I had all black floors and my son couldn't see it except for his eyes, so he says what are we gonna name it? 'Eye in the dark.' Alright, cool," he added.

He has his son to thank for bringing the beautiful black cat in their lives. According to Norman, when his son was about five years old, he said that he needed a little black kitten without explaining why. That's why Norman searched high and low for one and found a black kitten in New York's East Village.

The owner said that the black cat was found in a box in an alley. The owner even discouraged Reedus from getting the black cat and instead offered his other cats.

When Reedus asked why, the guy said that the black cat's never going to love anyone. This prompted Reedus to still take the black cat and bring it home to his son.

"And now the cat's a big fluff loveball," said Reedus in the video by PEOPLE.

Aside from Norman Reedus of "Walking Dead," the other stars featured in People's Sexiest Man Alive 2013 "Cool Cats" section are "Vampire Diaries" star Ian Somerhalder, and Gilles Marini, who played the character Dante opposite Kim Cattrall's character, Samantha Jones, in the "Sex and the City" film.
