And with the immortal words ‘and I think we have a cat on the pitch!’ a new legend is born.

Yes, a kitty decided to join in the beautiful game by not only running onto the soccer pitch, but also posing very glamorously before gracefully scampering to the side lines and allowing a human to pick him up and carry him off, no doubt to milk, fish, (if it’s my cat:) beef. And soft, soft kitty cushions and some extra fancy scratching posts to keep his claws in top condition.

Of course, there would be the world’s best catnip.

It’s a fantastic video because it’s real and not practised. Kitty decided to play soccer. Kitty ruled. Kitty made the players realise they were in the presence of a master of the game.

I do love the commentators saying how there was once a fox on the pitch, and how no one was trying to remove the ktity from the pitch.

Exactly. No one interrupts perfection until perfection decides it’s time for a nap.

Love this video! Yay, soccer cat!!!
