It looks like he's faring a bit better than you are.

I'm not going to lie, I sit near him and he kind of rubs me the wrong way. My boy is fascinated with him and wanted me to get him a picture next to him, the man basically didn't even respond to me while I am standing next to him. Props to being a superfan and perhaps he was having an off day but it bummed my boy out

I met him after teh game once. It does get a little tiresome. he told me it takes him 2 hours to leave the stadium.

I went to my first game last year and I saw a couple get his pic with him, he did it but he didn't look happy.

it almost seems like he is being burdened honestly and I don't know why

Then stop dressing up like it's Halloween.

How much must it suck having the seat behind his hair? Down n front!

Yeah he almost has the same exposure as the players, without the benefit of showers, media time, team meetings, and a separate exit after the game to protect him from adoring fans. In other words, he's like you and me, but has to deal with the same attention a minor player does. That's a lot of stress. The one time I met Catman, he was very accomodating. Gave me a signature and a photo smiling the whole time

His gofundme says that he has had health problems, that could play a part in it..

Won't lie.          Would love to see our unofficial mascot Catman in the stands,  in the SB.

I've heard mixed reviews about him

If you're gonna be an attention whore, don't be upset when you draw attention.

Why are people giving their hard earned money to send someone who has front row season tickets to the Super Bowl? Kind of strange. Donate to charity or something.

I was going to say the same thing.  I thought he got really sick there for a while...not sure what his illness was, they didn't say or I honestly can't remember.  I think he missed a few games because of it?  Again I could be mistaken.  In either case, if he was not feeling well that particular day, it may be the reason.  I have to imagine being the Panthers "#1 Fan" would be tiresome after so many years of doing it.  At this point, it's almost like he just can not stop doing it and would get even more attention if he suddenly stopped.  Kinda one of them thing's you gotta hang on to your life once you have done it so long.  I would honestly hate it after doing it for so long...especially good years like this, you would have all these new fans wanting to take picture, sign autograph's constantly.  I could understand why some days, if he did not feel well, he would respond in this way.

If it crosses your mind to donate to somebody who wants to attend the Super Bowl, find a worthy charity to support instead.

Thankfully I'm not being persuaded to donate to a beggar on an online offramp from the freeway to send them to a game.
