Boxing Cat

So, I'm not ashamed to admit that I am a sucker for animal videos. This one in particular made me laugh.

My dad was a former Golden Glove-er who later turned pro. Very early in his career, a hand injury took him out of the ring forever. But he remained a boxing enthusiast through the end of his life. As such, if there was a boxing match to be found on television, dad was watching it. Actually, "watching" is too passive a term. His involvement with these matches was a decidedly more active affair. He would sit upright on the front of the recliner cushion and yell at the T.V. while involuntarily bobbing, weaving and throwing his own shadow-jabs. I would often have to explain what was happening when I had friends over and they'd hear the old man in the next room screaming "GET IN ON 'IM! USE YOUR LEFT, YOU SONOFABITCH!"

This cat made me think of him...
