One of the only aspects of the Kitten Bowl that bore a strong resemblance to anything the NFL would run was the very prominent display of commercial sponsors around the field.
Handlers and a few lucky spectators tossed a number of sparkly little balls onto the field which, based on the way the cats scampered to them, may have been filled with catnip.

Still, first rule of Kitten Bowl: There are no rules.įurthermore, unlike other professional sports leagues, the FFL does not appear to enforce drug testing. There are “super-fuzzy superstars” of the game though: Look at last year’s purring around Clawvin Johnson. I asked one of the fellow members of the media watching next to me what the rules of Kitten Bowl were. It was the feline equivalent of Tom Brady stopping a play to randomly charge and tackle fellow New England Patriot Julian Edelman. In a disturbing scene of friendly fire, two gray cats who (I believe) were supposed to be teammates, pounced on top of each other. Two kittens scratched their way up the goalpost. At any moment of filming, half a dozen tiny footballs were on the field with kittens running around in total pandemonium. I tried to figure out how exactly one played in or followed the Kitten Bowl. But if one thing was clear during Kitten Bowl filming, it’s that accuracy takes a backseat to adorableness. Considering that one of the tiny cat-letes stretched paw-to-paw looked like it could cover the length of the end zone (which is 10 yards in the NFL), the stadium wasn’t exactly built to scale. Like its NFL human counterpart, would the FFL fine the cat-letes (their word, not mine) for wearing the wrong-colored cleats or refusing to appear at press interviews?īut it became abundantly clear as I was escorted through the bland, generic hallways filled with random folding tables and chairs to the Kitty Bowl set that even Christopher Guest, the comic mastermind behind the dog show mockumentary Best In Show, could not have scripted the behind-the-scenes feline oddities.Ī miniature football stadium complete with two sets of tiered-seating and scratch-post goalposts lay before my eyes. Would a referee be on the premise making sure all kitten-sized football were inflated to FFL standards to prevent the feline version of Deflategate?
