Cat won't let soccer player get to practice on time

Former Chelsea striker Mikael Forssell, who now plays for VfL Bochum in Germany, just wanted to get to practice the other day. All he wanted to do was go to work like every other normal human being in the world, but he just couldn't. Because of a cat.

Explaining his tardiness to his coach must have been interesting. It's one thing to say a dog ate your homework, but saying a cat has taken your car hostage is a whole other story.
