the kitten chronicles - part 35

Add Rooney to the list of names of those glad that England has been knocked out of the World Cup by Germany. It's not that he doesn't love soccer - his dribbling skills are unmatched by even the finest German players (or Brazilian for that matter). Of course, he happens to use a Midnight Crazy as a ball. It's just that the other Rooney on the British team was making my kitten crazy.
The announcers kept yelling his name at the top of their lungs during the game on Saturday, "ROOOOOOOONEY with a shot...
OOOOOOOOHH!" And this woke him up from his peaceful sleep on my lap repeatedly for the 2 and a half hour duration of the match. And don't think his little furry ears weren't stinging with the harsh criticism he kept hearing. "Rooney fumbled it bit there,
Rooney with a bad miss, Rooney seems a little off, today". With each rebuke of the fabled English striker, the poor little kitten
cringed thinking he'd done something terribly wrong. But England has gone home with their tail between their legs - I told this to my Rooney, thinking he'd find it hilarious, but he just muttered, "Eek".
