She's got game

Meera attacks the balled-up scrap of brown paper bag. She darts right, she darts left. She smacks it into left-field. Before it lands, she's in left-field. She scoops it up in her paw, bites it hard, tosses it high in the air. In a dazzling display of skill and agility she uses her right paw to slide the ball under her left arm, shifts her weight, and uses the left paw to slide the ball under the right arm. She's a WNBA champion dribbling down the court, a feline Mia Hamm toeing the ball across the field, a young skater punk with three years' experience shoe-scuffing a hacky-sack.

Wow! Excellent sports writing - Since there is actually an award given for fantasy sports writing, I think we should start one for cat (and kitten) sports literature...
