Kirk Cousins is living with Stacy S., one of Fancy Cats’ volunteer foster moms, who preferred not to give her last name. He came from the Washington Humane Society along with four brothers, all of whom were also named, by the shelter, after Redskins players. Jordan Reed and Josh Norman have since been adopted as a pair, as have Ryan Kerrigan and DeSean Jackson, leaving Kirk Cousins — adorable Kitten QB1 — without his favorite receivers.

“He’s the last Redskin in my house,” said Stacy, who is fostering six other kittens. “He is anxiously awaiting a new, loving family.”

Given the rookie scouting report on Kirk Cousins’s adoption page, it’s a wonder the tuxedo cat hasn’t yet found a forever home. He comes a lot cheaper than $20 million a year.

Kirk Cousins and his siblings from the Redskins team were born on April 22, 2016, and are ready to be adopted now. This quarterback does his job well — he leads his whole “team” in a romping round of mischief. He loves to chase and to wrestle, and he recently discovered the never-ending game of chasing his tail — he can see it, but he just can’t catch it!

“He was kind of the real leader of the litter,” Stacy, who always roots for the home team to the extent she watches football, said this week. “He is the most playful kitten in my house. He plays with everybody. Once one cat tires out, he finds somebody else. He goes through everybody’s energy, and then he finds a toy that he can play with on his own.”

While QB Kirk Cousins has said he needs to continue to improve his situational awareness, Cat Kirk Cousins is still developing his self-awareness. Almost 9 months old, he still chases his tail.

“He doesn’t play with his tail quite as much as he did when he first discovered that game, but he does still do it,” Stacy said. “The funniest thing about it is you can just see in his head he doesn’t understand what it is. He doesn’t get that it’s something that’s attached to him.”
