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
