Remember Dave the Cat? The stray cat befriended the English football team during FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, making frequent appearances on their social media and becoming something of a regular fan during their team practice.<\/p>\n

Dave the Cat was dubbed the ‘unofficial mascot’ of the UK team<\/h2>\n

Until now…<\/p>\n

Apparently, the team followed through on their promise, and Dave was still given the chance to travel to the UK and was rehomed by the Football Association’s media operations manager Anna Bush and her family.<\/p>\n
