Panthers' Cat Lovers Defy Tough Guy Stereotypes | Carolina Panthers News

In a surprising twist, the Panthers’ tough-guy image is being softened by their cat-loving stars—defensive end K.J.

Phillips’ Ragdoll cats Pat and Bean are more interested in naps and snacks than baby pics, while Scourton’s Maine Coons are big, independent, and cuddly when they choose. Even the stoic GM, who adopted a hairless E.T.-looking cat named Gus, found unexpected comfort in feline affection. It turns out, being a “dawg” and a cat person aren’t mutually exclusive—NFL toughness and purr-fect pets can coexist.
