21 Pawsome Memes of Super Bowl Cats Calling Paws, Purrs, and Plays

Kickoff hasn't even happened yet, and the cats have already claimed the couch.

Super Bowl Sunday isn't just about touchdowns and snacks. It's kickoff for the Kitty Bowl. While hoomans yell at the screen, cats take over the stadium, also known as the couch. Some plant themselves directly in front of the TV like defensive linemen, eyes glued to the moving ball and ready to launch a full-body tackle. Others treat the remote like a loose fumble, swatting it off the table and calling the play themselves. There is no replay review. The call stands.

The pregame show is just as important. Cats stretch, pace, and warm up like athletes preparing for competition. One tests the snack perimeter. Another claims the softest blanket and refuses to vacate. When guests arrive, they are inspected like new recruits entering the roster.

Halftime belongs to the cats. Blankets turn into goal lines. Laps become premium seating. A loafed cat settles in like a champion holding possession, completely unwilling to surrender the field. They might not understand football, but they understand territory. Every bag of chips triggers an instant blitz, and any unattended chicken becomes a high-risk Hail Mary situation.

By the fourth quarter, the scoreboard barely matters. The real highlight reel is the cat who stole someone's seat, walked across the screen during a big play, and supervised every snack like head coach of quality control. Super Bowl Sunday turns into a shared event where the cats run the game clock and everyone else just tries to keep up.

A football team made of cats would easily be the most entertaining team on the field. They’d ignore the playbook, chase the ball whenever they felt like it, and still somehow pull off impossible interceptions. Half the game would be zoomies, the other half would be strategic napping, and fans would never look away. They might not follow the rules, but they’d win every crowd over just by showing up.

Petition to include a surprise cat appearance in every game. Just one random feline sprint across the field to keep everyone humble. No warning, no explanation, just pure chaos and joy in the middle of serious competition. It would instantly improve ratings and morale. Players would freeze, the crowd would lose it, and the cat would leave undefeated. Every sport needs a little cat interference.

Super Bowl Sunday might be about football for humans, but according to cats it’s all about getting a super-sized bowl of food. While everyone argues over touchdowns and commercials, cats are eyeing plates, sniffing chips, and watching for any unattended snacks like it’s the only play that matters. To a cat, the Big Game is basically “bring me that giant bowl of food now” and halftime is the perfect time to make that request.
