With Pelini and his furry friend leading the charge, the head coach then did one better and raised the cat in the air in a scene reminiscent of “The Lion King.”

No, the Cornhuskers aren’t becoming the Cathuskers anytime soon, but this strange situation can actually be somewhat explained. The parody account — @FauxPelini — features an avatar of Pelini posing for what looks like an embarrassing school picture while holding a cat.

But even the immensely popular Twitter account had to give props to Pelini’s decision to bust out his feline companion.
