If you’re confused about this video, trust us. You’re not alone.

Apparently, a stray cat got into Hard Rock Stadium in Miami during Miami’s game against Appalachian State. It got up to the upper deck and was hanging on to a wire.

Don’t worry, this story has a happy ending. Some fans stood underneath with an American flag and caught the cat.

You have to see it to believe it.

We agree. This might be one of the craziest things we’ve seen at a college football game.

As for the game itself, Miami leads Appalachian State 19-14 in the 3rd quarter. As for the cat, its whereabouts are unknown at this time.

But we do know that it survived the fall thanks to the good samaritans with the flag.
