There was a CATastrophe at the Superdome on Thursday night.
Sorry, I couldn't resist, I've been waiting my entire life to use that line and now was the time because someone BROUGHT A CAT to the Saints-Falcons game on Thursday.
The Internet loves cats and one fan clearly knows that because during the second quarter of the Saints' 31-21 win, she tweeted out a picture of the cat.
OMG. It's a real cat #wtf pic.twitter.com/LtsQAQjqxP

That's the most well-behaved cat I've ever seen, which is saying a lot because I've seen a lot of cats.
I'm not sure if it's legal for a cat to play in the NFL, but there were several fans at the game who thought the cat might be able to help the Saints on the field, especially after the Saints lost left tackle Andrus Peat to an injury.
can they put the cat on the offensive line please #saints https://t.co/r9zTtTq1CD

People also thought the cat might be able to help the Saints after kicker Zach Hocker missed his second field goal of the game.
#WHOCAT for field goal kicker

Someone also though the cat could help the Saints out at wide receiver.
Can #SaintsCat catch?

The cat was so popular that a radio guy in New Orleans wanted to interview it, or its owner. One of the two.
Ran all the way to Section 624 but the cat is gone. Folks in the section say it's a service animal, guy got off flight, cat was freaked.

For anyone wondering how a cat got in the game, there's your answer: It's a service animal.
Service animal or not, there were plenty of jokes on Thursday because, hey, it's a cat at a football game.
Biggest story in the Saints game is the cat. Happening meow.

.@JCWilloz @cmadmax I think we can genuinely say here: The cat is out of the bag.

Of course, since the Saints won, people now want the cat to attend every game.

@wwltvsports That cat is a good luck charm. Of course she is @Saints' colors of black and gold! She needs season tickets!

On a somewhat related note, someone needs to tell this girl that she doesn't need to stay at home anymore, SHE CAN BRING HER CAT TO THE GAME.
My parents bought tickets to the saints game and said I have to stay home to watch the cat

Anyway, although the mystery of the Saints cat might not ever be solved, we do know two things: The cat's a she and her name is Zooey.
the #SaintsCat belongs to a friend of a friend. Her name is Zooey #WhoDat #WhoDatCat pic.twitter.com/NzOqIWeLa7

Hopefully Zooey shoots to fame because I'm so over Grumpy cat. By the way, Zooey's definitely famous in New Orleans. After the game last night, #WhoCat was trending in the city.
