Despite World Cup loss, England takes home another prize — Dave the cat

England may have been knocked out of the World Cup, but that doesn't mean the team is going home empty-handed. Dave, a stray cat befriended by some of the players at the hotel they were staying at, is headed to the U.K., where he will be rehomed, the Qatar Animal Welfare Society said.

Football player John Stones said that he met Dave when the team first got to the Souq Al-Wakra hotel in the Qatari capital of Doha. Stones said that, after feeding the new feline friend dinner, Dave kept coming back. Eventually, the team named him their unofficial mascot.

"Then, every night, he's there sat waiting for his food," Stones wore on Instagram.
