Practice cats

A high school football coach somewhere in the Little Rock metropolitan area had worked out a way to use house cats in his practices, and Rock and an old friend named Rex Nelson showed up to see how.
It was overcast and bitterly cold out, so the practice had been moved inside the school's gymnasium. Rock and Rex walked in through a crowd of football players and worked their way to the back of the gym where a table was set up for the press.
Two units of players worked through drills in front of them. As they did, at least a dozen cats sat behind the players on a row of old wooden school chairs. They seemed uncommonly patient for cats, yet eager to participate.
