Name: Paw-dell Beckham Jr.
Position / Style: Fry Receiver
Demeanor: Dazed
Nickname: “Sir Sushi”
Hangs at: The Kit Kat Club with Meowly Cyrus
Plays: The Stalk Market
Quote: “My meow is worse than my bite.”
This kitten does not look dazed. In fact, Paw-dell looks alarmed. Poor Paw-dell looks like someone caught him with his paw in the catnip jar. The New York Giants must be missing one of their best players. Of course, the Beckham Jr. litter is filled with incredible athletes, but none so prolific as Paw-dell, who can make the catch with just a single paw.

Name: Spuds MacMuffin
Position / Style: Halfcat
Nickname: “The Cat’s Meow”
Demeanor: Bemused
Diet: MICE (Mackeral, Iguana, Cod, Earthworms)
Favorite Actress: Jennifer Clawrence
Quote: “Always think outside the litterbox.”
How funny that Spuds MacMuffin’s favorite cat-tress happens to be Os-cat Winner (she won an A-cat-demy Award, right? It’s so hard to keep track of which awards shows she’s tripped at) Jennifer Clawrence, who starred in her own version of the Kitten Bowl in a little series known as The Hunger Games. More recently, Clawrence appears onscreen as Aurora Lane in Cat-ssengers. You know what else Spuds and Clawrence have in common? Rubbing their butts where they probably shouldn’t.
