We live in Maine, hence our home is part of Red Sox Nation. We’re loyal and devoted fans, though the team breaks our hearts more often than not. And while we tend to think of Lord Dudley Mountcatten as a full fledged member of the family, until recently we were unaware of his affection for David Ortiz.

Case in point –

The other night my husband was watching an interview with one of the most beloved players in Boston history and as soon as Dudley heard David’s voice?

.

.

The silly cat was mesmerized.

Up on the television stand (where he’s not allowed) for a closer look.

.

.

He even checked around back searching for his (heretofore unknown) favorite player.

.

.

When the show went to commercial and David disappeared?

So did Lord Dudley.
