The Kitten Bowl’s kittens are named after NFL players

Tune into the Hallmark Channel to see Richard Purrman, Cat Stafford, and Aaron Pawdgers.

The Kitten Bowl -- the cat version of the Puppy Bowl -- airs Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on the Hallmark Channel. It’s a bunch of kittens frolicking around and it doesn’t actually have anything to do with football but it doesn’t need to because it’s a bunch of kittens frolicking around and kittens frolicking around is good.

However, we have important news. SOME OF THE KITTENS ARE NAMED AFTER FOOTBALL PLAYERS

AARON PAWDGERS

RICHARD PURRMAN

TERRELL SNUGGS

PAW SO HARD UNIVERSITY

However, if you don’t mind us saying, some of these are some pretty weak attempts. They’re either not really puns:

Or don’t really fit in the person’s name:

Or ... I mean this isn’t really close:

I mean, “Beau Catson?!?!?!?!”

Go check out all the cats, from Stray Matthews and Mario Meowningham to Ryan Fitzcatrick and William “The Litterbox” Purry, over at the Hallmark Channel’s website.
