Zappa the Family Cat lives in New Haven, Conn., but he roots for the Princeton Tigers instead of the Yale Bulldogs because of the Tigers' nickname (actually, unlike ESPN, we are not based in Connecticut).
Here is a look at ten schools with feline nicknames and the names of the mascots, not all of these teams made the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.
1) Pittsburgh Panthers. Roz the Panther*
2) Auburn Tigers. Audie the Tiger (pictured top)
3) BYU Cougars. Cosmo the Cougar (pictured center)*
4) Cincinnati Bearcats. (pictured bottom)
5) Villanova Wildcats. Will D. Cat.
6) High Point Panthers. Prowler the Panther.^
7) Princeton Tigers.
8) Kentucky Wildcats. Blue the Wildcat*
9) Arizona Wildcats. Wilbur and Wilma Wildcat.*
10) Houston Cougars. Shasta the Cougar.
