It is not common for dogs to be caught playing a rough (no pun intended) game of rugby or an intense soccer match, but cats playing sports is a slightly more rare occurrence. That’s why these silly Photo-shopped images of cats replacing the sports balls in these professional games is so comical.
These pictures combine adorable kittens with intense sports moments. In each image the ball in question has been removed from the athletes hands and replaced with a feline!
The reason I’m into these silly images is because the Photo-shopping has been done in a way in which none of the cats look particularly out of place or phased by their situation. When you take adorably snarky cats and contrast them with athletes who have winning on their minds, you get these funny pictures of cats playing sports.
