Can a grandmaster beat Mittens?

Mittens, most of us know who it is by now. A horrifying, ferocious, and condescending mechanical feline with a very misleading rating of 1 ELO. Before playing a chess match with it, those who are uninformed of its sheer power would think something along the lines of "Wow, what a super weak bot" and then proceed to get absolutely blown off the board with its legendary play. But my question is: Do you think it is possible for a grandmaster to beat Mittens? If not, could they at least be able to get a draw? Without engine assistance of course, I just want to know if its humanly possible to beat it.

About 50% of its moves were suboptimal vs stockfish, sometimes even giving itself a bad position. In a long time control format I assume strong GMs could win.

I played it vs stockfish 13 at depth 30 and stockfish won easily.

Hikaru drew it in blitz, so yeah, in a long time control a strong GM could do even better.

lol A friend on here just told me about the bot, probably just the Chess.com staff trolling haha......the bot probably really has a rating of 2800+ under the guise of "1", which isn't even possible any way lol.  I wouldn't worry about it or even try to beat it.

Eric Rosen (IM) has a video up on YT where he played it twice, not only got crushed, but never saw the 16 ton weights before they dropped on him.
