LOS ANGELES (AP) – Football tampering is inevitable when felines take the field Sunday in Hallmark Channel’s Kitten Bowl.
But the kitties simply can’t help the fact that claws and balls don’t go together, the channel said, so don’t expect an NFL-style deflation investigation.
“Our issues tend to be more related to the size of the ‘yarnage’ markers on the ‘kitiron’ and, of course, the length of their milk breaks,” said Bill Abbott, president and CEO of Hallmark parent Crown Media Family Networks.
In other words, cute trumps controversy when fluffy, big-eyed kitties are involved – as it should.
“Kitten Bowl II” kicks off at noon EST, starting with semifinal matches between the Northpole Panthers and Hallmark Channel Hearties and the Good Witch Wildcats versus the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Mountain Lions. The winners then play for ultimate purring rights.
