I'm not sure where to post this, it fits in pets, sports, regional VA (Falls Church VA). I don't follow sports much, but I'm happy I read this article from the Washington Post, because it is adorable and heartwarming. Here is a link that doesn't need a subscription.

If you haven’t figured it out by now, Jordan Poole is a cat guy. More like a cat daddy, as he tends to say. Though Poole’s shooting a career-best mark from the three-point line (40.1 percent) and ranks in the top 10 in the league with 141 triples made, he might be better known as the lead crusader of the Secret Society of NBA Cat Dads, a small but growing contingent to which Poole personally has recruited new members
“Listen! Every time!” Poole responds. “Every time I come, it’s: ‘Let me leave with all of them! Give me 14 of them right now!’”.

“There are a lot of people in the league, I think, who have pets and have cats. It’s just, you know, I don’t think we go out of our way to express the fact that we have cats,” Poole says. “It’s sort of a cool community. Like a cool cat community. We just kind of keep it in-house. You’ve got to knock a couple times for us to let you in. Secret code.”

So much more at the link, along with some pics.
