ROCKY THE CAT


I LIKE TO THINK THAT I NAMED MY CAT THE CORRECT NAME WHEN I GOT HIM. WHEN I BROUGHT HIM HOME INTO MY HOME THE FIRST TIME AFTER RESCUEING HIM FROM A COUNTRY ROAD(LAYING DOWN RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT) THE FIRST THING HE DID WAS LEAP ON MY PIT BULL DOG NATE WHO WAS ALREADY PUSSY WHIPPED BY THE OTHER TWO CATS I HAD AT THE TIME...HE GREW UP A PUPPY WITH THE GROWN CATS AND THEY RAISED HIM TO BE RESPECTFUL AND TO FEAR THEM...HE WEIGHED 100 LBS, AND THEY TOPPED OFF AT ABOUT 8LBS A PIECE, BUT THEY WERE THE BOSS AND NEVER LET HIM FORGET IT...AFTER I CALMED NATE DOWN FROM THE ATTACK BY THE NEW WHITE CAT WITH THE TAIL WITH YELLOW RINGS AROUND IT I FED WATERED AND SHOWED HIM WHERE THE LITER BOX WAS..HE THEN POUNCED ON THE OTHER TWO CATS...CHUCK AND AL..WHO IMMEDIATELY KICKED THE SHIT OUT OF HIM...TO LET HIM TOO KNOW WHO WAS BOSS. AFTER THE DUST SETTLED AND THINGS STARTED TO RETURN TO NORMAL I NOTICED THAT THE NEW CAT HAD FUNNY COLORED EYES AND JUST KIND OF LOOKED WEIRD..WHEN I WOULD COME UP TO HIM HE WOULD TURN HIS HEAD AROUND, BACK AND FORTH LIKE HE WAS TRYING TO FIND OUT WHERE THE VOICE WAS COMING FROM...FOUND OUT HE HAS A SERVER VISION PROBLEM..HE''S NOT BLIND BUT HE DOESNT SEE THINGS LIKE HE SHOULD...HE WILL TRACE MY VOICE WITH HIS HEAD AND I HAVE TO STICK HIS HEAD INTO HIS FOOD BOWL AS HE CANT FIND IT HALF THE TIME...
WELL THE OTHER TWO CATS WENT THE WAY OF MOST CATS...AL DIED FROM SOME CAT DESEASE AND BLESSED OLD CHUCK DIED FROM OLD AGE...WAS ALMOST 17 YEARS OLD...AND NATE TRIED TO ATTACK A PICKUP TRUCK THAT WAS GOING 50 MILES AN HOUR...BUT OLD ROCKY IS STILL WITH ME...HE IS ABOUT 8 YEARS OLD AND HAVE DECEIDED THAT WHILE ROCKY IS A GOOD NAME FOR A CAT THAT LIKES TO FIGHT...SHOULD HAVE NAMED HIM "CANT FIGHT FOR SHIT"...AS HE IS CONSTANTLY GETTING HIS ASS KICKED....CAME HOME LAST NIGHT AND HIS NECK IS ALL CHEWED UP, HIS HEAD LOOKS LIKE A PIN CUSHION, AND BIG GASH IN HIS SIDE...DOCTORED HIM UP AND TRIED TO KEEP HIM IN BUT HE SLIPPED OUT WHEN TROOPER WHEN OUT SIDE...
SO STAY TUNED FOR NEXT CHAPTER IN THE MANY ASSKICKINGS OF ROCKY....
