Anfield Cat becomes Twitter star
A Premier League football match was brought to a standstill after a stray cat wandered into the stadium and instantly became an internet sensation.The fearless tabby became a viral video hit after running onto the hallowed turf at Anfield on Monday night before mooching around the Tottenham goal to the general bemusement of Spurs keeper Brad Friedel. Liverpool fans chanted "A cat! A cat! A cat! A cat!" to the tune of team battle cry "Attack! Attack!" as the moggy ambled around. The grey and white tabby also ran in front of Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish as it spent a full minute on the field.
But within moments of its surprise appearance live on Sky Sports, a Twitter profile was set up in the cat's name of @AnfieldCat – and started attracting thousands of followers.
The male tabby lives in derelict terraced houses in Lothair Road and is well known to locals in nearby Anfield Road who hurriedly nicknamed him "Kenny".
