A photo of a stray cat being cuddled inside Kansas City’s
Arrowhead Stadium during a football match has gone viral, with the unusual
sight raising plenty of whiskers.
“Just a man and his kitty in a sea of red,” Instagram user
Max Chilen captioned the bizarre snap as the Chiefs battled the Oakland Raiders
on Sunday.
As if the cat’s attendance wasn’t enough of an anomaly –
especially considering stadiums’ strict rules on restricted items -- the man
seen holding the animal is decked out in Green Bay Packers garb.
According to Chilen, the foreign fan scooped up the cat
after finding it wandering around inside. Another Twitter user shared a photo
of the man appearing to exit the stadium with the cat in his arms.
"Great work by Arrowhead security tonight. This dude
managed to sneak in an effing cat," Taco Salazar sarcastically tweeted
with the photo and hashtag #StandUpJob
But Chilen said they got it wrong.
“The dude found it in the spiral walkway heading into the
game so they kept it instead of giving it to security,” Chilen tweeted to an
Arrowhead Pride reporter.
“At the 4th quarter security came and there was quite the
protest to let him keep the cat. Then he went away with them but … I think they
planned on letting him keep the cat,” he continued.
