Several Twitter sites claiming to be the real deal sprung up within hours of the moggy's dash across the pitch during the first half.
One, @AnfieldCat, has already attracted almost 19,000 followers while video footage of the feline's antics are proving popular on the web.
One post on the Twitter site had a gentle dig at Liverpool's city rivals: "Everton rumoured to be interested in signing me, Bill Kenwright too paw to stump up the money."
Liverpool fans serenaded the tabby on the night with the chant: "A cat, a cat...a cat, a cat, a cat." It was sung to the tune of the battle cry "Attack..Attack".
The cat was eventually taken away in the arms of an Anfield steward.
