When A Quarter Cup Isn't A Quarter Cup!
Hi faithfull readers!
As you all know, ol' Roo isn't one to complain, but today I do have a beef!
You see, I am on a new food and I do like it very much. Of course it is more expensive but I do like the finer things in life! The problem you ask? Well me and Misses Hiney are fed 1/4 of a cup of food each morning and late afternoon. No problem there, or at least there wasn't. With the Meow Mix, which I also liked, I would eat some and save some for later. After all they say eating several small meals a day is better than a couple of large meals. That's probably how Roo had been keeping his svelte physique lately.
Anyway, with the new food I get my usual 1/4 cup, but man, I just rip through it and it is gone. I've even heard dad taliking about how I don't leave any food any more. So I got to thinking and I wonder if 1/4 cup of Meow Mix is heavier and in turn more filling than my new food. I overheard dad discussing it with mom and she dismissed the idea, but I think dad is concerned. He even called me skinny this morning. He wants to do some diagnostic tests on my food to see if I am still getting enough food. I can't beleive that I like this food so much that I just go crazy and eat it all so fast. I think the volume is there, but not the weight and if that is the case, then that is unfair, and you know how I hate all things unfair.
I'll keep you posted on how dad's diagnostics come out and let you know if ol' Roo will be getting more food.
Later days,
Puparoo

Of Panthers, Lions, Pepper and More!
Hi gang!
How about them Panthers!! Wow, what a run they are having! This week they'll complete the end of the Giants run and should get home field advantag throughout the playoffs. I am just so excited!! Being part panther I hope to be able to score some Super Bowl tickets and head out to see the big game. Dad says I can't go, but he can't stop me!
As for my other teams, well, the damn Colts beat up my Lions last week, but this week look for the Jags to complete the season sweep of the stupid Colts. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if dads team doesn't drop a pair of games and miss the playoffs altogether.
I see our old friend Pepper weighed in last week. Pepper, you are such an a-hole it is just unbeleivable! Are you just a hater or are you really stupid? Ah, who cares? You are nothing but a turd in the poophut of life! Jerk!
Hope you all have a great day and hope you are enjoying the holiday season. I know things are kind of lean this year with the economy and all, so all I really want for Christmas is a few more Panther wins!
Peace and love to all, but Pepper!

Roo's Triumphant Return!
Hi everyone! I am really sorry to be away for so long, but I meant to take some R&R after the big Halloween holiday then when i was ready to come back I started feeling a bit under the weather and really just now feel back to my old weevelish self!
Hope everyone had a great Halloween and a real nice Thanksgiving. I ate a little turkey this year, but not a whole lot. Didn't really feel like it. It looks like the US has elected a black cat as its new President and I couldn't be happier. Black cats are so smart and dedicated that this new cat can't miss! I'm not sure what his name is but dad usually says a bad word when he talks about him. I guess he's just jealous.
As for me not feeling well, well, it was kind of bad and then it got really bad over the weekend. A while back I was having trouble peeing and sometimes I went outside of the poophut. I had dad conviced it was Misses Hiney doing it, but I knew something wasn't right. I tried to ride it out and see if it got better, but it eventually took me down.
A couple of weeks ago I was really down for a day and couldn't pee or poop. I wasn't hungry and when mom or dad touched me it hurt. It passed in a few hours, but I knew things were getting worse.
Saturday I didn't feel very good, but I was making the most of things and managed to eat, but I couldn't go to the poophut and be productive. Sunday morning I ate my food but dad caught me out of the hut acting like I was going to go. He shooed me away and I went into the living room and just laid down. I knew I was sick.
Mom and dad came home and I was still just laying in one place and in some pretty severe pain. It hurt just to move and I wanted to be comforted, but I sure didn't want to be touched. I could tell dad was worried about me and he kept a close eye on me. Mom kept puttng papers under me to throw up on, but I couldn't even do that. Eventually I did puke a couple of times, but not much. Nothing was moving. That night I slipped under the bed to sleep, but I was up most of the night worried. I didn't even go on my usual reign of terror that night.
When dad got up and saw I was still curled up and not moving he was really worried and I thought he was going to cry. When mom got up he told her he thought I needed to go to the vet ASAFP! Mom looked me over and decided he was right and this time I was willing to go!
Mom loaded me up on a towel in a laundry basket and drove me to a new vet. I cried, but mostly because I was in pain and not just because I hate the vet! Apparently ol Roo had some kind of bladder blockage and my bladder was huge and full. The blockage was some kind of crystalline formation and would have to be loosened and I would have to be juiced. They took xray's of me and eventually with all of their handling the blockage was freed and Roo peed freely! Talk about feeling better!
I stayed at the doctor's that day and mom picked me up later in the afternoon. The doctor game me some new food for me to eat and thankfully it's pretty good! Mom and dad are weaning me off of the old food and onto the special diet food and I am to have no people food! I don't eat too much of that kind of stuff anyway so that's okay.
I really thought dad might be posting my obit on here this week the way I felt on Sunday, but rest assured, Roo is back!
I haven't seen any remarks from any of my friends so I hope they are all okay and I hope they come back to visit again, now that I'm back.
Peace and love to all!!

My Week!
Well it's Halloween week and you all know that it is Pup's big holiday! People put out statues and pictures of black cats and reall make a Puparro feel good!
On another note the back room has once again been opened. Mom and dad got a new table to put in there and Roo has been enjoying himself sitting on the new chairs. It's not much but it's something!
Well that's all for now. Roo'll have some more football picks Sunday morning!
Lov you all,
Roo

Pigskin Picks Etc.
Hi everyone and welcome to Roo's picks. A few housekeeping items before we get started.
No, Roo didn't catch the mouse. Pup's dad said he saw it run into the furnace closet and Roo hasn't seen it since. Dad told Roo he thought it probably went back outside. If it knows what's good for it, it will stay outside!
Roo was watching the Colt game last week and the roof was open at the new stadium. When Roo's dad got home he asked his dad how he liked it with said roof open. Roo's dad said he loved it, but he had heard a lot of complaints about the sun being in peoples' eyes, that it was too hot and that, OMG, their beers were getting warm too quick! Dad said some people will complain about anything. They bitch if the roof is closed, open or whatever. He said they should dress accordingly and wear sunglasses and drink their beer faster! Roo told dad it looked pretty cool on TV and he agreed it did in person as well!
Now on to the picks. Just three this week.
First up Roo's Panther's (-3) host the Saints. Coming off a drubbing last week in Tampa the Panther's look to be pissed and will take it out on the Aint's. Give the points and take the cats!
Pup's Lions (+9.5) are a mess and things probably won't get better anytime soon. That said, the Lions are at Houston today against a weak Texan team. While Roo seriously doubts the team wins, take the Lions and the points and laugh all the way to the bank!
Finally dad's Colts (-1) travel to the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field. It probably won't be frozen and these ain't your daddy's Packers. One point isn't enough and the Colts will win by at least a TD.
That's it for now. Roo'll have more this week.
Peace to all of Roo's friends!

Roo Picks Again!
Well Mr. Puparoo finally had a good week last week and is recharged and ready to go this week! Roo won't waste any time, let's get right to the picks!
Roo's Lions (+13) are a disaster and things don't look good for a win this week. However, Roo does think 13 is too many against a mediocre Viking team on a short week. Take the Lions and the points.
Mr. Pup's Panthers (+1.5) travel to Tampa today. This should go a long way to helping shape the future of this division. Take the points and expect a cat win.
The Jags (+3.5) travel to the Mile High city today to face the Broncos. Roo thinks the Broncs are a fraud and will wilt under the defensive pressure of his Jags. Take the points and again, expect a big cat win!
Roo's dads' Colts (-4) take on the Ravens today here in Indianapolis. Black is beautiful, but horses are too much for stupid birds. Take the Colts and give the points.
That's it for now. There's some things going on here at the house that Rooney will comment on this week. Plus Pup has a new mouse friend here at home. Will the mouse make it through the week? Roo's dad doesn't think he is much of a mouser, but Roo begs to differ. Tune in to find out!
Peace to all but Pepper!

He's Back!
I told you it was just a one week layoff! Fearless Roo is back with his NFL picks for week 5. Let's get right to them!
My Panters (-9.5) host the Chefs today. Last week the Chefs surpised everyone with their beatdown of the Broncos. That was then, this is now. Panter's roll in this one and cover easily.
Unfortunately my Lions (+3.5) aren't very good and while they are at home today they will struggle again and lose by a TD to the Bears (suck).
In Houston, the Texans (+3) host the Colts. I don't like the Colts, but I have a feeling they get it rolling today and kick the Texans around. Colts big.
Finally, my Jaguars (-4) host the Steelers. The Steelers are as beat up as my guys, but they just aren't good enough to go to JAX and do much. Just like last year's playoffs, Jags win and cover!
That's it for now!! See ya soon!

Week Off
Whew, the Puparoo was stinking the place up so he decided to take a week off of his picks. Rest assured the picks will return, and be better this week!
Nothing else much new here. Just thought I'd pop in here and say hi! Dad is in the shower and he left his computer on so I should break into his page and hack it, but I won't since he does let me use his computer.
Well that's about it for now. Check back in for my picks later in the week!

Pup's Pigskin Prognostications!
Whew! Pup is sucking out loud at these picks, (season record 4-5) but i suspect I'll come back this week with a vengeance!
I have to tell you, I'm really worried about my Jags (+5). They are beat to hell and today they play the Colts. I was listening to Hockey Bob call the Colts game last week and it seems like they have finally caught fire. With all the decimation to the Jags today could be a long day for my team. Colts by a TD.
On the other hand, the Panthers (+3) are in championship form and I look for that to continue. They travel to the hapless Vikings today and should smash them. My cats by 14!
In the bif AFC East matchup the Patriots (-12.5) host the Dolphins. Fish are too stupid to win in this game even without Tom Brady for the Pats.
Dad works with a guy who is a Bills (-9.5) fan and thinks they are a shoe-in for the title this year. Sure they are 2-0, but today the rejuvinated Raiders come to town and will smack the Bills around. Raiders by a FG.
In the Sunday nighter Dallas (-3) travels to the Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field to face the red hot Packers. Why are the Cowboys giving up 3? Who knows, but I'll take them even if I don't need them. Pack by 10.
Well here we are at the Autumnal equinox. Summer seemed like it just flew by. So many things I wanted to get done and just didn'tr get to. Maybe I'll have a great Fall. Hope you all do as well and keep tuning in for those pics.

Uggh!
Week one didn't go so well for the Puparoon, and I have taken a rash of shit from my dad about the picks. But never fear, Roo will not be deterred from posting this weeks picks!
It was a good week for my Panther's but my Jags may be in real trouble with all of their injuries. The Lions, well they look to suck again!
The Colts (-1.5) visit the Vikings where one of the teams expected to do well will come out of this one 0-2. It ain't going to be the Colts. As much as I don't like them, the Vikings looked stinky on Monday night against the Packers. Colts by 7.
The Bears (+3) go to Charlotte to play my Panthers. Sorry Bears, this isn't the Colts. The Panthers rolled the Chargers last week and will go to 2-0 this week with a double digit win.
It's a pickem between Denver and San Diego, but Roo really likes the Broncos in this one. San Diego wasn't good last week and the Broncos destroyed the hapless Raiders. Denver by 10.
Monday night it's the Cowboys (-6.5) hosting the Eagles. Birds are stupid and they will lose big in Big D.
Enjoy the games.
Oh and Pepper, you suck!

Hi Y'all!
Hey gang, how about that slick new pic of the Puparoo? Pretty neat eh?
Well the football season is here and you all know I have a feeling that I am going to be happy come season end when the Panthers wrap up the whole enchilada. Mmmm, enchilada!
Well it's a long time until the Super Bowl so I may pop in here and make some weekly picks to pass the time and hopefully help you make some money!
So here are Roo's picks for week 1.
The Jets (-3) are at Miami with Brett Favre leading the way against their old QB and the Dolphins. I just don't think the Dolphins have much and will drop this one big time. Jets by 15.
My Jags (-3) are at Tennessee for a big divisional matchup. It should be hard fought, but the more talented Jags will win this one by a TD.
The Cowboys (-6) are the Browns today. While conventional wisdom says the Cowboys will walk in this one Roo thinks that not only will they not cover the spread, but may just lose outright!
The Colts (-9.5) are at home tonight to the Bears at the new stadium, but I think the Colts will no longer enjoy the homefield advantage of noise and will not cover a large spread. Too many question marks surround this team and I don't believe in them.
For some reason the Packers (-2) are favored over the very talented Vikings. The Vikes will roll the hapless Packers who will be hating life without Brett Favre by halftime!
Have a great day and enjoy the games!

A Lesbian No More!
That got your attention didn't it? Actually it should be a tough guy no more. Mom and dad are back and I couldn't be happier. I usually go into cold shoulder mode when they get in, but I just couldn't this time. I was really happy to see them. It seemed like they were gone a long time. Oh, it was nice seeing Amy and Greg everyday but nothing like those morning feedings as well!
Dad knew I was happy so he picked me up about a million times yesterday, but I didn't put up too much of a fight!
Well, that's all for now. I just wanted to get on here and say welcome home! And no dad, I am not just sucking up!

Hi guys,
Well it's certainly has been quiet around here without mom and dad. It's been nice to see Amy and Greg but I miss the folks. Just thought I'd pop on here and say so!
Peace out!

The Weevilish One!
Hi gang!
Roo here. Just thought I'd pop in and say hey. Hope everyone's summer is going great. It's almost over now. Mom and dad are heading out for their annual trip to the beach although I've been hearing dad bellyaching about some hurricane. Serves him right for the lockouts and holding me against my will.
Me and Misses Hiney are going to tough it out here at home. I think Amy and Greg are going to feed us. Not sure if the snot noses will be coming by or not.
Looks like football is right around the corner. Watch for my Panthers to rebound this season and win it all, probably against my Jaguars. Dad's Colt's look like they will be pretty pathetic this season.
That's all for now. Sorry I haven't been on much, but dad has changed his password and I have to sneak on when he has it up and running.
Peace out,
Roo
Roo here. Just thought I'd pop in and say hey. Hope everyone's summer is going great. It's almost over now. Mom and dad are heading out for their annual trip to the beach although I've been hearing dad bellyaching about some hurricane. Serves him right for the lockouts and holding me against my will.

Nothing Much
Meow everyone,
Just me Roo here. Nothing much going on. It's been kind of a crazy summer. Me and dad were doing some things for a while so I wasn't on here much. Now he's back to work, but I just haven't been motivated to write much lately. Actually the only reason I snuck in here today was to assure that a-hole Pepper that I was not in hiding!
As an update, the back room is still off limits to me and Misses Hiney. I've been trying to steal some of her food, but I keep getting caught and everything else is pretty much status quo.
Well that's all for now. I'll have some more real soon. Have a great day!

Roo Returns!
Hi gang!
Sorry to have been away for so long. Thanks for checking in Smokey! Nothing much new here. Dad has been home so we have been doing some things together which has been kind of nice. Sounds like he is going back to work tomorrow though so maybe I can get back to more posting.
Some bad news, Misses Hiney pooped in the back room and I got blames so the door is closed permanently for us. I'll get her for this one!
Of course today is Brickyard day. I'm sure you all know that I think the Cat car will win, but realistically it looks like Jimmie Johnson will probably win. I hate to see that!
Love to all, except Pepper!

Hi Gang!
Wow! Dad finally cleaned up his computer room! I barely had a path to the keyboard for a while. Now I have all kinds of room to not only post, but I can wander all over the place on the desk and behind the TV and desk! It's great!
I'm still enjoying the back room with the flannel sheets. I guess because it's warm out that mom and dad aren't washing them, but I'm not going to push the issue as long as I can lay on them! But still, it's fun to be able to go back into dad's room and hang around. On top of that, I get plenty of tail pulls when I go in there and he is in there!
Well that's all from Rooland for now.
Peace and love to all!

Happy Days!
Roo is happy to report that the back room door has now been open for three days and I have been in there enjoying life! There is a really comfy chair and some flannel sheets that are getting ready for the laundry in there that are so nice to sleep on!
So far I've avoided getting in trouble in there and I make sure Misses Hiney doesn't come in and ruin for me.
I don't have much else today. Dad has been home this week so I get messed with a little more than normal, but that's okay!!

The Weevilish One Strikes Again!
Is it me or does it seem like I am on here apologizing as much as anything else? Well I have to go again.
The past few mornings I have been trying to steal Misses Hiney's food again. After dad feeds us I eat a few morsels and then when he leaves the room I hop down and try to nose into her bowl and get her food. It's not like my bowl is empty, but I still want hers.
For her part, Misses Hiney won't really let me get her food. She's eating so hard I'm almost afraid to stick my head in there lest I lose it. But dad still takes a few of my morsels and gives them to her. I think that is really unfair, but he does it anyway.
I don't know why I'm doing this again, but I obviously need help!!

Looks Like I'm Staying!
Hi everyone!
Some of you may have been wondering what my last post was all about, and thanks to Smokey for asking. Well I was a little ashamed to post the details, but now that it looks like everything is under control I can reveal the story.
Last week, and for some unknown reason, I was doing my normal tour into the back room. I always liked going in there and just hanging around. Well I accidentally pooped in there one day instead of heading to my poop hut. Like I said I don't know why I did it, but I did. Well once I did it, it just seemed normal so I did it again. A few times.
Wednesday evening dad was starting some laundry and he smelled the turds. When he found them he was pissed and I thought I was going to be kicked out right then and there. He told me I was acting guilty and I probably was. When mom got home he told her what happened and she said that if it kept up I was gone.
Well the door to the back room was closed to me. Dad watched me like a hawk for a couple of days to see if I'd poop elsewhere, but I was going in the poop hut. Mom took the door off so my tail wouldn't get caught in it.
Finally on Saturday dad saw me in the hut. He evntually let me go in the back room and scout around. I went in and came out without incident. He let me in again yesterday and again, no incident.
So it looks like I am okay now. I was a little mad at dad for locking me out of that room, but once he let me in I warmed up a little.
It looks like all is well now and we can move past this ugly incident and Roo can stay at home!

OMFG!
Friends, I was just sent an anonymous email with a picture reported to be our good friend Pepper. Now I have no way of knowing if it is him for sure, but is sure fits my idea of what he looks like! I'll let you all decide for youselves.

Yikes!
Wow, what a crappy weekend of racing for ol' Roo. I heard dad complaining about his boys as well.
First off at Texas, Vitor was leading late into the race but had to pit and ended up well back. I'm beginning to think Panther Racing needs to hire someone who might actually win. And it was Marco again causing a big crash at the end. If he isn't the biggest menace on the track I don't know who is. He's a DNF waiting to happen. Granted his wreck with Ryan Hunter-Rhey may not have been all of his fault, but he certainly came down awfully low after running a high line through that turn all day. He's just sloppy out there and they seem unwilling to do anything about him.
Meanwhile up in Canada, Lewis apparently didn't see a red light and slammed into the back of Dad's boy Kimi. As soon as it happened I ran under the bed because I knew dad would come looking for me since he knows I'm a Hamilton fan. Hard to shift any blame on that one!
Finally, at Pocono, the Buckeye Bullet was having a nice run and was in to the top 10 when he was busted for speeding on pit lane. The resulting penalty dropped him way back.
It was just an awful weekend for me on the track! Guess we'll just press on and hope things get better in a couple of weeks!

Dumbass Marco!
I didn't get to see it, but dad told me that that idiot Marco Andretti caused another wreck yesterday this time sending Vitor flying and into the wall. When are the powers that be going to open their eyes and park that danger? He's one of the "Golden Boys" so I guess he can be as much of a menace as he wants and nothing will happen. And you know he isn't going to lose his job since he's the team owner's boy.
By the time he gets around to really hurting someone it'll be too late.

Hi everyone. Not much today, but I am feeling pretty good after an awesome run by Vitor of Panther Racing last week at the 500! Wow, I really thought he was going to win it. Well it's on to Milwaukee and I think this will be his week.
Other than that I just have a new pic of me. I've had a lot of requests for some new pics of me. In this one I am just tooling through the kitchen and dad snapped the shot. Enjoy!

Snot Noses!
Well it happened. I now have a couple of "nephews" and the snot nosed little brats came over and tried to take over. To top it off I have been chided for not being nice to them. So what, I growled a little. Sue me! This is my house and I will not let it be overrun by some snot nosed little twerps!
Oh and thanks dad and Misses Hiney. Dad was on the floor playing with them and Misses Hiney just hung around. She could have shown some unity, but oh no. Mom doted over them too so I gave her the cold shoulder yesterday morning and got yelled at again.
I guess I'm just yesterday's news. It's all about the new kittens and ol' Roo, who has been a good cat lo these many years is just pushed aside. Well you can have your kittens but just think what you'll be missing. You won't have Rooney to kick around any more.

Proof Sucks!
Well me and Misses Hiney had a couple of weigh-ins last night and as dad is fond of saying, the proof is in the pudding. I guess that means our diets are working. Well dad, the proof sucks and so does being on an involuntary diet!
The good news is that I am down to 13.4 pounds. Dad even said I looked skinny this morning when he was pulling my tail. Of course he also asks me all of the time if I am getting taller so who knows what the F he is saying. Misses Hiney is down to 16.2 pounds and mom and dad are real rpoud of her.
The bad news is that we are still on diets and Misses Hiney just can't get used to it. I see dad measuring our food and he has been serious about us not getting too much to eat. Misses Hiney devours hers and then whines for the next 12 hours until it is time to eat again. I like Misses Hiney, but her whining does get irritating. Oh well, as they say!
Well I guess I am back in fighting shape, but once again, I have no idea who I am fighting!
Love you all!

Happy May!
Hi everyone! Hope everyone is doing well. I've been enjoying a few days off of writing and been pretty much acting a fool and messing with mom and dad! Oh I've been up to all of it. Knocking stuff around, eating Misses Hiney's food, jumping on mom and dad when they're sleeping and a new one, sneaking out into the garage when they open the door just a crack!
That's about all that's new around here. Dad is all agog since May is here. I guess he'll be out at the Speedway as much as possible this month. You know I'll be rooting for Panther Racing!!
That's about it for now. Oh, one last thing, I heard it was Sue's birthday yesterday, so Happy Birthday Sue!!!
Peace and love to all!

Double Lockouts!
I don't know what the hell we did, but all of the sudden we are being locked out of the bedroom twice a day. Once before it is time for dad to get up and then today, after he showered he locked us out when he went back to sleep. Yesterday I went in the bedroom after dad went in there and mom ran me out and locked me out. Look guys, if you don't want me, someone does. My feelings are really hurt right now.
Someone owes Roo an apology and maybe an extra bowl of food for this!

LMAO!!
Last night I pulled a good one, and one of my all time faves! I let mom and dad get to bed and then I made sure dad was fast asleep. Then I got a head of steam up running down the hall and leapt into their bed right on top of dad!
He popped right up and wondered what the heck happened. By then I was out of his reach at the far corner of the bed so he couldn't even swing a pillow at me. I had a hard time getting to sleep I was laughing to my self so much!!

Mama Mia!
Sorry about the water thing this morning mom. It really was an accident. It wasn't like me knocking things over when I'm hungry.
For those of you wondering, I was walking into the bathroom to lay by the register and I knocked mom's opne bottle of water over. Normally I don't think that would be all that bad, but it fell into her purse soaking everything in it. Mom has them fancy schmancy purses too so that makes it worse. But it really was an accident. Unfortunately I'm in the, and God how I hate this, doghouse. Guess I better behave tonight when mom gets home!

Hi There!
Howdy everyone!
Hope everyone is having a great day. Me, I've decided to tough it out and stay here and go to the vets in a couple of weeks. Thanks to my friend Smokey who offered to let me come over. Same to Greg and Amy. Dad just doesn't get it, but he will!!!
I don't really have too much else. I did catch some of a movie the other night called Best In Show. What the F is up with that? A movie about a damn dog show? Dog shows are so lame. If you want real excitement go to your local cat fanciers show.
Well take care. It's been nice weather here the past few days so mom has had some windows open. It's been really nice, except for last night. I had kind of a sour stomach so I just kind of laid around. Dad came in and watched Jeopardy! with me. I heard him tell mom that he kicked my ass at it, but I let him win. He's such a dork!
Later gators!

I'm Out Of Here
It's been some tough days for ol roo. First off, the Tigers lost the big game last night because they can't hit free throws. Dad said it would catch up to them and it did. But mainly, bad days are here because it is truly vet time. Well, I am not going to just sit here and take it.
No, I've decided I hate it so much that I am planning my escape. It's not that I want to leave home, but I just can't handle going to the vet again. On top of shots I have to have a physical this time around. It's going to hurt so much that I have just decided not to go.
So if any of you see a beautiful black cat with his hobo pack strolling down the road, that'll be me heading for greener pastures and ones where there is no vet. As for the blog, I'll catch you up when I get a chance.
Bye for now!

I'll Earthquake You!
More earthquake's last night eh dad? You are going to get it this time. I was really tired last night after you made me sit with you for about five hours. You know how that stresses me out. Then you pull your earthquake crap while I am trying to sleep.
You better sleep with one eye open tonight because I am going on the offensive and I will get my payback. You close that eye and I'll pounce right on top of you, or maybe I'll bite you while you are sleeping, but revenge will be mine.
There's nothing you can do so you better just be on the lookout!

A New Way!
Faithful readers of this blog know it's been a while since I really had dad on the run, but today I am happy to report that there is a new way and to paraphrase the song, I won't be fooled again!
You all know about me and Misses Hiney being locked out of the bedroom in the mornings before it is time to be fed. We get hungry at 3:30 or 4:00 but dad won't feed us until 5:00. That is when I start my reign of terror. This results in dad getting out of bed, acting like he is going to feed us. Then when me and Hiney head for the kitchen he locks us out of the bedroom. I know I'm a dope for falling for it every day, but that shit is over!
Today I got going about 4:00 and mom told dad to lock me out. When he got up Misses Hiney did her usual move to the kitchen, but not ol' Roo. No sir! I went under the bed and dad locked the door. But as he went back to bed I jingled my collar just a little so he would know I was still in there. He was pissed! So he got back up and went to the kitchen and rattled the food canister. I came running. I didn't get fed, but I made him work harder just for a lockout.
The bottom line is that I can outlast him in a battle of wills and soon I will be fed when I want, not when it is convenient for him. I got you good on this one dad! I told you I'd win this war and now it looks like the end is near!

I Thought Spring Was Here and the NCAA
Is it ever going to stop raining? God this sucks. It has been raining for more than 24 straight hours. Am I in Seattle? It even looks cold out there. I know it rains in the spring, but cold and rain. I even heard dad say it might snow tonight! Winter, I'm over it!
Tomorrow is the start of the big college basketball tournament. Dad is all geeked up about it. Of course, he is a geek! I'm not that big of a basketball fan, but there does seem to be more of a charge in the air this time of year for the sport.
So I was looking at the tournament and filling my brackets out and I noticed there are only 10 cat teams in the damn thing. But what is cool is that the team that is going to win IS a cat team. The Pittsburgh Panthers are the strongest team going in and I can't see how anyone can beat them. Look for the Panthers to beat North Carolina for the whole enchilada. Duke and Kansas will round out your Final Four.
The Indiana teams you ask? Well the Hoosiers (non-cat) will lose their first game. Boilermakers (non-cat) will probably win 2 at the most. Butler (I won't even put their name on here) is a one and done at best and the Fighting Irish (non-cat) might win 2. Pretty sad year for the state. IUPUI got jobbed by not getting in. They are a cat team and would have done the state proud!
There you have it. Now go enjoy the games, if not the weather!

I Am So Sorry!
Dad,
I am so sorry I acted like a baby yesterday. I know I hurt your feelings and I know you are mad at me. I was just feeling a little off and I just wanted to lay around. But I know you like me and just want to hold me and have me sit on your lap. I know you're not going to hurt me. I don't know why I was acting all scared, but I know you were hurt.
You didn't say two words to me this morning, even when I was yelling when you fed me and you didn't pull my tail when I came in your room. You didn't even say bye to me this morning. I'd be hurt by all of this, but I know it is my fault.
I promise that I will try to be less of a wuss. I don't want you mad at me and I hope we can still be friends.
Sincerely,
Rooney

Outrage
I don't do too many serious pieces on here, but today I am just outraged. For those who have not heard some drunk in Muncie forced his kids to kill thier pet cat. "Boots" was stabbed and strangled because this piece of human debris "wanted his kids to learn how to kill."
The complete story can be found here http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080314/LOCAL/803140459
What kind of sick moron, drunk or not, forces his kids to kill anything, let alone a cat. And rest assured that I would be equally outraged if it was any pet. I poke fun at dogs on here because dogs are kind of dumb and they make an easy target, but I would never condone killing a dog in this manner.
Sometimes I wonder how people have even survived on this planet as long as they have the way they act. They war, they kill each other over the littlest things and they basically hate. It's just so sad.

Is That Really Spring?
Roo here!
Man what a day it looks like out there, and even though I'm stuck inside I can lay in the window and soak up all the sun and just bask in the warmth! Hopefully this'll mean I get to at least go out in the garage a little more. On the downside it means that my trip to the vet can't be far off. I heard mom talking about getting the notice last week. That kind of sucks, but hey, who can be mad on a day like this?
Well I'm gonna bop out of here for now and head back to the window. Maybe I'll see my squirell friend and maybe I'll even see mean old Bob across the street and shake my paw at him!!
Peace and love!!

Happy Anniversary!
To me! That's right, the Box Cat, Mr. Pup, Rooney or what have you has been blogging for a year tomorrow. I'm taking the day off in my honor and to think of new ways to drive dad crazy.
I was in a foul mood last week and it kept up through the weekend! I was knocking stuff around, being anti-social and generally being ornery. I loved it! Dad earthquaked me a couple of times and he now knows that he will pay!
Well I really don't have much new for this milestone post, but I just wanted to pop in and let everyone know that I hope you have had as much fun reading this blog as I have had writing it. Dad did say he was proud of me for keeping it going and that most people who start blogs stop posting to them within a couple of weeks.
Well, back to my paper ball box!!! Catch ya soon!

Where the F is Spring?
Really, that's all I got! I'm just sick and tired of this gloomy, crappy, cold weather.
Oh, and dad, stop earthquaking me when you get up to go to the bathroom at night and I am in the chair. If you don't I'm gonna have a special surprise for you!
Can you tell I'm in a shitty mood?
Later,
Rooney

What A Week I'm Having!
Really, it's not all that great.
Mom and dad are painting Amy's room and it's no longer those cool dark colors. Plus when I go in there I nearly get painted. One good thing is that mom moved the coasts out of the closet and put them on the couch. Now I have a gret new vantage point to sit. Dad was going to make me move, but I was on his 8 coat and I don't think he really cared since it was his driver's old number.
Saturday I was mean again during the day and as such we were fed about 15 minutes late. It kind of sucked but I was having fun knocking stuff to the ground. Yesterday I almost knocked the drill off of the table but dad caught me and yelled at me.
Also, mom and dad tried to sleep in yesterday, but I fixed them. Dad got up and fed us at 5:15. Then he went back to sleep but left their door open. So about 8:00 I headed in there to knock stuff around and basically wake them up. Then I decided to lay right on top of mom until she woke up. That was the end of her sleeping. I think dad had a hangover so he slept a little longer.
All in all it was a pretty good week and weekend for ol' Roo! Today I'm just hanging out waiting for the race to start. Sometimes mom comes home early when the race is on a Monday, but she didn't say anything about it this morning.
That's about it for now. Have a great day!!

Good Morning Race Fans!
Hi, it's me Roo to talk about today's running of the Daytona 500!
First of all it looks like dad's driver is poised to capture his second 500. Junior seems to have the car and the desire to win. That douchebag Stewart also looks strong in the Toyota, but you know I like the Cat car of Dave Blaney for the Toy's.
It looks like a nice day there so anyof you who are there I hope you enjoy it. Mom and dad are heading out to a viewing party so I'll be here in the chair taking in the action!!
So go Buckeye Bullet!!!

Diet
Misses Hiney is on a strict diet again, and since she is, so am I and it sucks.
Look, I know most of my posts are about food or lack thereof, but this really is hitting below the belt. We are down to a strick quarter of a cup of food per meal and even dad is keeping to it. Well it's just not enough so I am back to stealing Misses Hiney's food whe I can. Unfortunately I was caught Sunday morning and dad was pissed. He even game me a bit of a spanking the second time around.
I just don't know what to do. Mom did give us a little Super Bowl treat last night before bed, but it didn't make up for it and I was starving again at 5:00. I gave dad an earful and he took another swing at me. Then I headed down to Misses Hiney's bowl again.
I want to be good, but I just can't. Can anyone help me? Please!

Super Bowl Weekend
Well the big game is almost here. Admittedly I don't have as much interest in it as I might have, had the Jags, Panthers or Lions been in it, but I think it will be a good game. I do think the Patriots will prevail, but I think the game will be fun to watch.
Dad is kind of bummed since his Dolts aren't in, but they pretty much sucked anyway so he had to know he wouldn't be in there.
Well, that's about it for now. We were supposed to have a big snow storm last night and I thought mom and dad may have been able to stay home with me and Misses Hiney today, but alas it didn't do much and they both went to work. Guess it's back to nap time for Roo!

Brrrrrrr!
Is it cold or what? Holy hole in the donut! It's a frigid 2 degrees out there this morning and it doesn't feel a whole lot warmer in the house.
I was so nice and toasty warm this mornign and then mom got up at about 3:00 and locked me out of the bedroom. I thought I was going to freeze my tuckus off!! I just couldn't find a warm place in the house. I went to the vent in Amy's room, but it wasn't very warm. Then I went in front of the love seat and again, it was just cold. Misses Hiney had the recliner so that wasn't an option. I finally went in mom's computer room and curled up on the chair, but I was cold.
When dad got up he even remarked that it was cold. Luckily he turned the heat up a tad and fed me so between burning the fuel and the added degree I felt a little better.
Now that mom and dad are gone I think I'll go curl up in their bed under the covers. They have the flannel sheets and they are so soft and warm! But really, I'd like to see it warm up outside, so the house will be a littel warmer as well!
Love you all!

The Rooney Rule
I was watching the NFL Network this morning and they were talking about Tony Dungy staying on as coach of the Colts and speculating whether or not Mike Holmgren would stay on as coach of the Seahawks. I also heard something about The Rooney Rule. I do like to make up rules, but I don't know what the Rooney Rule is. I don't recall making up any such rule.
I did a search and apparently it has something to do with NFL teams having to consider black cats to be coaches before they can actually hire someone. I think it's a great rule now! Who is better than a black cat to run a football team. We're smart, competititve and level-headed. Dad says I am very stoic and after looking that up I think my even-keeledness can be an asset as well. Not only for me but any black cat.
So for now, I urge any NFL owners to hire black cats to run their teams! They won't be sorry.

I Just Couldn't Watch!
I tried, I really did, but I just couldn't watch the second half of the game Saturday night. I had to turn away. I even tried levaing the room several times, but dad kept bringing me back in. He said it would build character!
The Jags suck and I hate football right now!!!

All Quiet On the Mitchner Front!
Whew!
It looks like I have dodged yet another bullet! I was worried last night that when dad got home he would still be mad at me. Especially after reading his comment on this blog. But other than a couple of fingers and an evil glare he was fine. In fact he and I made a pact this morning that if I root for his Colts on Sunday he will root for the Jags on Saturday. It's not much for him since he hates the Pats a lot, but it's a start. Plus, you know how weevilish I am, I might just renege on it when Sunday rolls around!!
Just kidding dad!
Well anyway, I do think my Jaguars will win against the Patriots. I also think his Colts will win, but it will be a claw biter. In the NFC I like the Cowboys to finally cut the Giants down to size and the Packers to beat the Seahawks. Just like last week I'll be tuned in for all of the action. Below you can see me watching last weeks beatdown of the Steelers....
Have a great weekend and enjoy the games!!
Love you all!

Uh-oh!
Hi gang;
Well I may have really cooked my goose this morning. I was oh so hungry at 3:00 that I thought I would die if I didn’t eat. I think mom gave us less food last night since Misses Hiney is on a diet again. But I guess I have to join her. Well it was just too much and I had to have food. Stat!
Well dad has been a bit under the weather the past few days and he has been sleeping in the living room chair. I was asleep in mom and dad’s room when the hunger pangs started. I tried to behave but I just couldn’t. I swear I’m trying to be a better cat, but old habits are hard to break!
Well I went in to the living room and jumped up on the end table, which I know is a no-no. It was about 3:00. Dad woke up and shooed me down and promptly went back to sleep. Well I was dying. So a little while later I jumped back up there and when dad didn’t wake up I knocked over the silver picture frame that sits on the silver platter and it made a terrible racket. Dad woke up then and swung a pillow at me and cussed me. Then he looked like he was going to go back to sleep so I went back up on the end table. He cussed me again and got up and fed me.
That is the good news. The bad news is that dad is really mad at me this morning and now we have to wait even longer to eat today. I’m sorry about doing it, but I was so hungry. But I am going to have to make it up to dad. I don’t want him mad at me. I know he loves me, but still, I don’t want the cold shoulder treatment I have been getting this morning.
I guess I will have to be on special good behavior for a while till the storm blows over. Wish me luck!

Football Season Recap
Ugh! That's about all I can say about the season.
What started as a season with so much promise only yielded one cat team into the playoffs. The Lions and Panthers really sucked the second half of the season and only the Jaguars are in. It really tweaks my melon what happened.
Well at least there is one team to root for. Dad can kiss my backend if he thinks I will root for those damn Colts.
As for other things it was a pretty quiet New Years around the house. Amy is gone so that makes things a little quieter. Dad cut his hair in her room on Sunday and made a mess. I hung out in there a little, but it is kind of cold so I have been more in the other part of the house.
I did help dad with cleaning his room on Saturday and Sunday. What a mess, but we got through it. You should see how many paperballs I have now. If the box gets knocked over mom will kill me!
Well I hope you are all getting along fine here in the new year. It's really cold here so I better hop back into bed and curl up and stay warm.
Love you all!!
