Anfield cat, Liverpool Local resident Darren Eden claims the Anfield cat is the offspring of pet Pako
Local Liverpool resident Darren Eden claims the pitch invader is the wayward offspring of his own pet cat Pako, to whom he bares a striking resemblance.
'My son was watching the match in the pub and he text me saying that our Pako’s baby was on the pitch,' revealed the Reds fan.
Mr Eden has named the cat 'Kenny' in honour of current Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish.
Mr Eden regularly puts out bowls of milk for the black and white tabby who shot to fame after running onto the hallowed turf at Anfield during Liverpool's Premier League stalemate with high flyers Tottenham on Wednesday evening.
However another resident knows the cat by the name Socks, claiming he's a stray regularly seen outside the famous Anfield stadium.
'There ain’t much to say about Socks. He is a cat who has been around Anfield for a while now,' said resident Terry Riley.
'The poor thing is such a friendly cat and deserves a good home.'
Since making his debut on Merseyside the Anfield cat has become a global internet sensation and now has over 40,000 followers on Twitter under the pseudonym @AnfieldCat.
After hitting the headlines around the globe and taking over Twitter the cat has now been released back into the neighbourhood by Liverpool who believe it belongs to a local resident.
