Loves: Spinning a good yarn

Favorite Football Film: “Lion’s Song”

Whoa, having some super severe Friday Night Lights flashback with this one. But here, it’s Caturday Bowl Fights. Led by Coach Hairball, the Last Hope Lions are filled with heart, sass and a lot of sly moves. In addition to spinning good yarn, Coach Hairball loves to take the kittens out on the field for a late night showing of “Lion’s Song”, an otherwise underrated performance piece starring James Caat. Boom. Nailed it.

Name: Cupcake

Position / Style: Pouncerback

Nickname: “The Little Easy”

Loves: Rainbows, Lollypops, Cockroaches

Hates: Rainy Days and Mondays

Quote: “May the furs be with you.”

Oh, would you look at that — another purr-fect kitten. Cupcake loves Star Wars. Therefore, we love Cupcake. In addition to being a Master Jedi, Cupcake also loves Caturdays almost as much as we do. And when Cupcake’s not doing the Pouncerback thing, Cupcake’s just a regular Pouncer at the cat club. It’s not a big deal or anything. It’s actually a “little easy”. Ooh, that’s a stretch. Better pounce back.
