There will be a Kitten All-Star Game airing opposite Major League Baseball's All-Star Game next summer. Well, okay, it won't actually be called the Kitten All-Star Game. That's not nearly punny enough. It's real title is the Kitten Paw Star Game, and it's happening due to the success of the Kitten Bowl, which aired on Super Bowl Sunday and drew six million viewers.

Kittens that think they’re people! Playing baseball!
Hallmark is responsible for this adorable endeavor, where kittens will be dressed up in "baseball outfits" while "batting balls". Honestly, you don't need anymore than that to get people to watch -- and by people I mean me, who will probably have some MLB All-Star Game assignment to work on but will instead watch kittens in kitten-sized baseball jerseys batting around kitten-sized baseballs -- but Hallmark is also promising celebrities and baseball "stars" to cheer the players on.
I so hope a player who begs out of the All-Star game due to injury ends up cheering at the Paw Star Game.
Hallmark did not provide any photos for the story -- the New York Post used an image from the Kitten Bowl for their story -- but that’s okay, as we can provide a preview of what this game might look like.

Just picture that kitten wearing a jersey that says “Joe Meower” or “Dustin Purrrdroia” or “Catt Cain” or “Jarrod Saltalameowchia” or okay now I just want to come up with baseball player name/kitten puns all day long.
