A video of an ultimate cat fielder shared by the former Australia cricketer turned commentator Dean Jones has intrigued the internet. The 30-second clip with over 148.6k views uploaded on Twitter shows an agile feline with its spectacular fielding skills perfectly defeating its batter with securing balls after balls near the stump. Jones, who is renowned for his excellent record in cricket test matches said that he had seen worst fielders in cricket and the cat was simply living up to the game. Internet hearted the video 6.9k times.
Astonished, as well as impressed at the pet cat’s gamesome spirit, users called it “a Fabulous Cat”, “Well trained and dedicated pet” and demanded if “cats have their own cricket league?”. As the clip opens, a woman in black jeggings and a blue sports tank top, presumably the owner, can be seen using a golf stick as a bat with few white balls scattered around. The pet feline has taken a position in front of a red makeshift goalpost. With its sharp observation, alert techniques, and its calm and balanced approach, the cat gets head and paws in line and takes some flat catches as the batter throws balls one after the other relentlessly. Amused particularly by its second catch users virtually applaud the best fielder that’s ever prowled a field.
I have seen worst fielders I can assure you! #whatacatch #gothim pic.twitter.com/qnP0YpPADO

Netizens applaud cat's 'cat-like reflexes'
“Can we take her for the first test against England?” a user asks. “Better than anyone who has ever played cricket,” wrote another. “Can we take her for our next match against Bayern Chelsea FC you seeing this?” commented the third. “Pretty sure it’s due it’s ‘cat-like reflexes’” joked the fourth. Earlier, in a separate such video, a cat Meownuel Neuer named after the German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer showcased its feline athletic prowess and stunned the internet playing soccer.
