This Michigan Baseball Team is About to Host Its First Ever Cat-Friendly Game
If you know me, you know I am a proud crazy cat lady. I have three rescued kitties living inside and multiple friendly strays I care for around the yard. So when I heard that feline friends are FINALLY getting a perk dogs have enjoyed for decades, I was intrigued!
Cats Take Center Stage at Dow Diamond
Bark in the Park nights have been a staple of summer baseball forever, but our cats are finally getting their turn in the spotlight. Midland's Great Lakes Loons just announced a historic first for Dow Diamond: a cat-friendly ballgame on Wednesday, August 12, delightfully dubbed "Meow at the Dow."

The game starts at 7:05 p.m and the Loons are taking on the South Bend Cubs. Fans can bring their furry companions out to the lawn for a fun night out. I am already picturing the photo ops with some of my own cats, brothers Emmett and Ezra. Just imagining them lounging on a picnic blanket while we watch baseball sounds like purrfection.
Event Details and Admission Rules
If you want to bring your adventure cat along, human tickets range between $12 and $21, and cats get in totally free. Just make sure to pack a lawn chair or blanket, and keep in mind that all cats must stay on a leash or inside a carrier at all times for safety.
