Demeanor: Tough
Eats: Mice Krispies
Currently Reading: “Cats Are in the Rye”
Quote: “I’m going to be big someday.”
As Frank would say, “Shake with your right hand, but hold a rock with your left hand.” Well, that’s what Frank Underwood would say. Our little kitten friend here would probably shake with his right hand and hold a football in the other. Because kittens are adorable and friendly. Frank Underwood is a shark, but Frank the Kitten is beautiful and worthy of adoption. His slight scowl pictured above is part of his charm.

Name: Squeaks
Position / Style: Right Paw
Nickname: “Bitey”
Demeanor: Bewildered
Supports: The Affordable Cat Act
Favorite Actor: Bradley Coopurr
Quote: “That’s Mister Squeaks to you.”
These kitten player cards align themselves with certain political affiliations more than one would expect. Let us know how you really feel about things, Kitten Bowl IV hosted by Hallmark. Though, I suppose we should be glad that Mr. Squeaks knows his stuff. And if he were old enough to vote, he’d probably be out at the polls in a kitten heart beat. But I have no remarks for favorite actor here, except I will say this: If someone asks you to adopt a real kitten or a terribly fake plastic kitten, pick the real kitten. They deserve it.
