Miranda Lambert and boyfriend Anderson East added a clowder of cats to their family with the adoption of three new furry felines named Bobbi [sic] McGee, Nick Saban and Bear Bryant. Miranda and Anderson adopted the cats from the Maury County Animal Shelter in Columbia, Tenn., about 45 miles south of Nashville.
If you’re wondering about the names Nick Saban and Bear Bryant, you’re obviously not a football fan. Nick Saban is the current coach at the University of Alabama, while Bear Bryant, also a former Bama coach, is widely regarded as the greatest college football coach in history. Anderson is an Alabama native.
Miranda posted the news on Instagram yesterday (March 1) with the message: “The cat’s outta the bag…We have 3 new feline farm hands! Bobbi McGee (the kitten), Nick Saban and the big boy, Bear Bryant. So happy to have new farm friends. Thanks to the Maury County Animal Shelter in Columbia TN for being so kind and helping us adopt 3 new shelter pets! You guys were super and your shelter was so nice. Go check them out. And don’t forget, love a shelter pet!! #bamaboynamedthem #dontforgetloveashelterpet #rolltide #muttnation #adoptlocally #felinefarmhands”
