Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2005Purrrrrr, finally a human celebration we kitties understand!
Finally! A human tradition that makes sense to kitties! All over the USA, humans are holding Supper Bowl parties as even as we type. Purr-sonally, we love the idea. We celebrate OUR supper bowls every day, especially when Meowmy puts cat food into them. We think it's high time that humans a-purr-eciated the glorious SUPPER BOWL for what it is and what it stands for. Supper Bowls deserve, not only a countrywide celebration full of parties, but their own worldwide holiday, in our humble opinions. In fact, we'd like to propose a parade for... What's that you're saying? It's NOT a bunch of parties for Supper Bowls? It's about some human game called football, and their champtionship called the SUPER Bowl? Oh. That's different. Never mind.

A SUPPER bowl is much more celebration worthy than that other thing!!! >Finally! A human tradition that makes sense to kitties! > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > >Captain and Stanley > Finally!

As someone who finished a book and played computer games while DH watched large men attempting to do bodily injury to one another, I heartily agree that a celebration of the supper bowl would be much more appropriate. I have my theories about football. It seems to largely be a chess game with human pieces, and it's amazing to me the injuries that people will suffer just to play it. Given how *hard* it is to become a professional athlete as opposed to making a decent living otherwise, it seems to me that it's likely that the only people who would do this for a living are those who don't have better prospects -- ie, they can't afford to go to college without a football scholarship, or maybe they're not bright enough to be successful in a more traditional line of work. Maybe I'm completely off-base, but as a whole, the sport worries me. Signaturemonique, roommate of Oscar the (female) grouch ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eros was adopted!

No, the thing about it that worries me is that there are people who believe that God is paying attention to their Friday night high school football game. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com > No, the thing about it that worries me is that there are people who believe > that God is paying attention to their Friday night high school football > game. ;) You mean God isn't a fan of the Robinson Rams? *gasp* Signaturemonique, roommate of Oscar the (female) grouch ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eros was adopted!

We tried to watch the game with Meowmy and Paw because everyone said that the EAGLES were playing. But we didn't see any eagles in the game. Just lots of humans. Of course, the humans were chasing a ball, running around, and pouncing on each other. So maybe they DO know how to play properly, like we cats do. That's as close as we've seen to a bunch of humans getting the zoomies. Tell us, is there any game that involves humans chasing a string? We might like to watch that one next. :3 Captain and Stanley > And another problem. We tried to watch the game with Meowmy and Paw because > everyone said that the EAGLES were playing.

It looks an awful lot like a cat toy. Signaturemonique, roommate of Oscar the (female) grouch ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eros was adopted!

WE know how to do both things without hurting one another too much, and we are far more entertaining and graceful in the process. I just wish I'd thought of the idea myself years ago. Sincerely, Panther. |
