Photos: Cats come to pawty at Frisco RoughRiders baseball game

Caturday came on Sunday, May 21 to the Dr Pepper Ballpark in Frisco, when felines and their owners gathered for a special event called Take Meow to the Ballgame.

You read that right: Cats were invited to attend a Frisco RoughRiders baseball game, as if they were dogs. They were even on leashes.

If you're thinking, "This sounds like a terrible idea," you're not alone. After we wrote about the event, I had several people say the same thing. To be clear, this isn't an event for every cat. My cat, Mowgli, loves riding in cars, being outside and cuddling with strangers, but even he had a little bit of anxiety when we arrived at the stadium. But like most of the cats there, he calmed down after getting comfortable with his surroundings and relaxed on the grass among other crazy cat people and their pets.
