Further OT... Another bit of feline-inspired humor. I wrote and posted
this back in the Jurassic age of usenet. It has since been copied onto
many web pages. And if you have ever had cats, you will probably
recognize this game.

Kibble Soccer

Any number of cats can play. The game begins when the referees go to
bed. The player runs to the bowl where the dry cat food is kept and
executes a "place-kick." The player does this by attempting to kick one
kibble from the bowl with a paw. Using the nose and tongue is allowed,
but this is considered bad form. Often the bowl must be tipped, rocked,
or rattled. Once the kibble is out of the bowl and in play, the player
proceeds to bat it around the room as quickly as possible. This is
accomplished with short alternating swipes with the front paws and
running behind it as it moves. This is also known as the "kibble
dribble". If the kibble gets stuck at the intersection of two walls, the
player must attempt to put it back into play with a "corner kick."

If the kibble is still on the playing field after 30 seconds, the player
is awarded a point. That player is then allowed to eat the kibble, after
which one returns to the bowl to put the next piece into play. No points
are awarded for kibbles that are kicked out of the playing area (under
the stove, behind the refrigerator, etc.). These are left for the
cockroaches and other spectators. The player must put a new kibble into
play.

For equipment, any dry kibble will work, although round ones roll
particularly well. The referees control the pace of the game by waking
up (usually after the first few points have been scored) and imposing
obstacles between the player and the kibbles. The referees do this by
placing covers on top of the bowl, placing the bowl on a counter top or
shelf, or otherwise hiding it. An advanced player is measured by the
degree of ingenuity displayed in overcoming the obstacles between self
and the kibbles and resuming the game. The game ends when all the
kibbles are eaten, are out of the playing field, or when a referee puts
the player in the penalty box.
