Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2008Dante on the hardwood
Any basketball fans around here? Well, Dante's been doing his best to re-enact the NCAA tournament on the living-and dining room floors. But his physique and style of play doesn't really remind me of any of the young players on the courts these days. No, Dante rolling down the floor, crashing his compact, massive little body into everything in sight reminds me of Sir Charles. Charles Barkley, the Round Mound of Rebound. http://www.nba.com/media/suns/barkley_220_feature.jpg And of course, Dante, like Charles off the court, is very civilized: ;) http://www.ciadvertising.org/sa/spring_04/adv382j/libbyg/mytheory/charles%20bark ley.jpg  SignatureTheresa, Stinky and Dante drtmuirATearthlink.net Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh > Any basketball fans around here?

Thanks for the giggle, I now have a mental video of cats playing basket ball to contend with. Pam S. who is glad that it wasn't an earworm >> Any basketball fans around here?

SignatureTheresa, Stinky and Dante drtmuirATearthlink.net Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh Willow does football. She found somewhere in the house a tiny football, baby size. She grabs it and runs with O T chasing her. Then he gets it and the chase in on again. > Any basketball fans around here?

My childhood cat, Charcoal, was a football player. When my brother and I were little, my dad used to play Nerf football with us in the living room (much to my mother's chagrin). Charcoal was a defensive lineman. No matter who had the ball, he would blitz and sack the quarterback. ;) >> Theresa, Stinky and Dante >> drtmuirATearthlink.net >> >> Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh > > Willow does football.

Charcoal was a defensive lineman. No matter > who had the ball, he would blitz and sack the quarterback. ;) Our cats, mostly Missy and her recently RB brother Winnie, are more hockey players than football or basketball. The game mostly involves one of our dog Bear's beloved tennis balls and kicking it around until Bear got so excited that he would join in. He is cat-friendly but so big and out of control in his movements that they quickly call the game due to hazardous conditions. WooToo plays a similar game with scrap paper and sometimes Maggy May will join her. I have had two d*gs over the years, Snowball and BD, both RB, who were pass rushers by trade. However, Snowball would only run in and jump for the ball. BD would knock you down. -- Will in New Haven > > -- > >> Theresa, Stinky and Dante [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > - Show quoted text - > "Granby" <spaz@joink.com> wrote in message > news:65kcugF2gb62bU1@mid.individual.net... > > Willow does football.

He bats a ball, chases it, catches up and bats it again, rinse and repeat. Not being a big sports fan, I don't know who the current stars are, so I hope I don't sound hopelessly out of date if I call him Licky Beckham or Pele. :) SignatureJoyce ^..^ To email me, remove the triple-X from my user name. > Any basketball fans around here?

I gather (from my friends back home) I should be watching again. Memphis is apparently putting on a very good show this season. Go Dante! :) Jill |
