A PARODY ACCOUNT of the cat which ran onto the field during the Liverpool – Spurs game on Monday night has nearly 40,000 followers on Twitter.
The @AnfieldCat account was set up just minutes after the feline ran onto the pitch at Anfield, causing the Premier League game to be halted as the cat made a dash for the Spurs box before departing the field and into the arms of ground stewards.

The owner of the cat has yet to be identified but staff at Anfield have named it Sam according to BBC News.
He bears an uncanny resemblance to Moglet – Liverpool’s unofficial mascot in the 80s who was considered a lucky omen for the most successful club in British football history.
The Twitter account has amassed over 39,500 followers in just two days and is tweeting regularly about the cat’s new found fame while taking potshots at the likes of Michael Owen, a former Liverpool striker who now plays for arch rivals Manchester United.

Nothing new Football is already full of pussys.
It was probably the best moment of the game that night
Walk on through the wind, walk on through the rain, though your dreams may be tossed and blown. Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart cat!
Probably gone to Auld Trafford for a snooze, a lot quieter there.
How are Liverpool the most successful team in British football.
Manchester United have dominated for over 20 years.
Forgot the question mark as well as five European cups.
Donal, the clubs’ respective records taken over the period of their existence as opposed to the existence of the Premier League points to Liverpool being more successful club but of course Manchester United have closed the gap considerably over the past 20 years.
History dumbass
Going by amount of trophies won, Liverpool still edge Utd, 63 to 62 (according to Wikipedia). Liverpool dominated English football for the 20 years previous to Utd.
If you are talking about league wins (which I have a feeling you are) , then yes of course Utd now edge Liverpool 19 to 18.
Because they did not have Roy Keane for part of those 20 yrs
The cat is awfully cute. I just hope it was treated well by the grounds people
I’d say it got a kick up the hole

Nah, he sees plenty of it every week sitting on the Man United bench!
Lucky cat. It may have been a disorienting experience, but not as bad as the one he’d have had if he gatecrahsed the so-called National Coursing Meeting in Ireland.
SMELLY CAT
First pussy Dalglish has seen in years.
