WHILE IT WAS a less than purr-fect result for both teams at Anfield last night, there was one moment of genuine hilarity as a cat interrupted the match between Liverpool and Tottenham.
With 11 minutes gone in the Premier League match, the referee was forced to halt play as a cat entered the game to the bemusement of just about everyone involved as it was clear he wasn’t being introduced as a replacement for Reds’ winger Dirk Kuyt.
Thankfully the cat was only on the pitch for less than minute before he made for the stands and the helpful steward escorted him away. Questions abound as to how exactly a cat makes it into a football ground.
Within minutes, Twitter accounts were popping up proclaiming to be ‘The Anfield Cat’. Fans of both teams may perhaps have bemoaned the departure of the feline footballer as the scoreless draw did little for Spurs’ title ambitions or Liverpool’s Champions League qualification hopes.
Oh well, at least the cat had fun:

you could say the game was put on “paws” while the feline made its way to the sideline!
— sorry!
I think it was Trap who let the cat out of the sack…
Lucky that pussy wasn’t at Old Trafford. With Rooney and Giggs around, she’d definitely be f****d.
The cat was interviewed later on sky sports and claimed he just left his seat to get a hotdog and jumped over the wrong fence.
He was running away from Kennel Dog-leash
Liverpools number 1 supPAWter. I’ll red thumb myself for that!
Anfield obviously has a vermin problem
But cats and Dirks dispose of that issue!
He’s lucky he wasn’t a black cat with luis Suarez sitting on the bench. Could have gotten out of hand.. ;)

The cat was just looking for his beachball
He literally covered every blade of grass and had the defense in sixes and sevens. He could have had a hat trick but he left his shooting boots in the dressing room. Liverpool are not a team to pussyfoot around.
The cat was later interviewed on Sky Sports and calmed he just left his seat to get a hotdog and must have jumped the wrong fence.
Heard you the first time.
Unfortunately.
Someone told him it was a milk cup game
In 1 minute on the pitch he ran past more players than Downing has all season !
