Meanwhile, Liverpool FC said the cat bore an uncanny resemblance to Moglet, an abandoned cat which became the club's unofficial mascot in the 80s.

Moglet was adopted by the club's ground staff after being left outside the stadium gates and was considered a lucky omen by the players and staff. A spokesman for the club was reported as saying: "With King Kenny's men back at Wembley in the Carling Cup final this year, is this new cat a long-lost relative of Moglet?"
