This Kitten Interrupted A Baseball Match In The Cutest Way, And Then Disappeared As Mysteriously As It Appeared

ADVERTISEMENT

One curious kitten recently interrupted a Major League Baseball match at Busch Stadium, USA. The St. Louis Cardinals were playing against the Kansas City Royals when a small kitty appeared out of nowhere, grabbing the attention of everyone in the audience.

We see the cat going straight to center fielder Lorenzo Cain. The feline probably just wanted some love and affection, but the baseball player had other things on his mind. Then, the kitty turns toward the stands, when one of the stadium employees comes to take it out of the stadium.

The man takes the innocet-looking kitty into his arms – only to be scratched and resisted. The mischievous kitten clearly wanted to stay longer and felt no shame about coming without a ticket, while the facial expressions of the man handling the cat were just epic.

The rest of the game was very successful for the Cardinals who believe the kitty brought them luck. They dubbed it the ‘rally cat’. “I’m not a cat person, but I sure like that one,” Mike Matheny, the Cardinals’ manager, said after the game.

Now the team is asking for help trying to find the mysterious feline to make sure it’s okay – and to bring them luck once again.

Yes, cats do that on their own. No one trained the kitten to resist and scratch that guy. They will attack any one or anything that makes them feel threatened, uncomfortable, or simply has other plans for them than they have for themselves. They are extremely strong willed and fast, will let you know when they don't want you mesding with them.

ALSO, if that kitten is homeless and not used to being handled, it will defend itself like that. It must have been terrifying, the noise in the stadium, the lights, the huge open space with nowhere to hide. I just hope someone didn't smuggle it in as a joke.....

I was just telling my husband you can't hurry with a cat LOL, they require a slow pace.

Even though the kitty scratched him, he held on tight. Nice job. I hope they find the furry little fella.

The kitten is being held for 10 days to make sure he doesn't have rabies, then he will be adopted out. The Cardinals aren't taking him.

I'm sure the noise from the crowd had something to do with the kitty's mischief. Hope they find Rally and someone takes him or her home <3

Wrong way to pick up a cat. Would maybe have had better success if he used the scruff of the neck?

Doubtful, only small kittens should be picked up by the scruff, if they're too big for a mom to carry them that way, they're too big. Additionally, have you ever tried that? They can swing around pretty good from that position, ouch!

It was probably feral, which means it can't be domesticated. If you take it to a shelter, they will put it to sleep. So the most humane thing they could do was to let it be free.

Can't find the cat? Guess that explains this weekend's special at the local Chinese Restaurant
