The moment the cat lost its hold and plummeted directly towards the onlookers after one of its legs got stuck was captured on video by the camera of a cell phone.
The stadium was stunned, and everyone was stunned not knowing if the cat had made it or not. Finally, a student supported him so that everyone who was present could see that he had lived. The cat grasped the railing with two of its paws at first, but soon lost one and slid to the lower deck. Following that moment of apprehension, the feline was presented to the audience in the style of ‘The Lion King,’ earning a round of applause from the audience.
Craig is the University of Miami’s facility manager, and he frequently has season tickets to the stadium and puts an American flag on the railings.
According to the man, who spoke to Metro UK,
“They were attempting to seize him from above but were unable to do so, but they were able to scare him down.” He stood there with his two front legs for a while, then one leg, and I thought to myself, ‘Oh my God, he’s going down soon.’
Manny Diaz, the coach of the Miami Dolphins, says he learned about the cat incident after the game had ended. With a score of 25-23, the Hurricanes defeated the Appalachians.
The instructor went on to say:
“I had no idea what happened or what was going on. But if the cat helps us in our red zone offense, I’ll see what I can do about getting him a scholarship.”
