Name: Bacon
Position / Style: Fullcat
Nickname: “Crazy Legs”
Demeanor: Distracted
Notorious for: Stringing opponents along
Favorite TV Show: “So You Think You Can Pounce”
Quote: “Sorry about my breath.”
Bacon’s expression is full of shade. This is the look of a kitten who seems apologetic for the bad breath or the tearing of the curtains, but in reality, Bacon don’t care. Obviously, Bacon cares about two things and two things only: Football and making sure that all of Bacon’s friends find a fur-ever home. In addition, Bacon loves dancing. So, stay tuned for the Footloose remake of the remake — Footloose 3: Paws on the Dance Floor.

Sleeps: 18 hours a day
Favorite Game: Twinecraft
Quote: “I guess that’s purr for the course.”
Remember Coach Tubby who had the most adorable mustache ever? Well, we consider Cubby the inverted color scheme of Tubby. Cubby looks like he’s wearing an overcoat. Or the Batman suit. I mean, his nickname really says it all, doesn’t it? Naturally, any kitten that can sleep as long as I do is worth considering. Though, if Cubby’s sleeping all the time, how is Cubby going to cover his position on the field?
