Several minutes passed before Rock realized he had never seen a housecat play in a high school football game. Nevertheless, he had seen one the night before who looked exactly like his cat Joe. This cat wore No. 5 on his jersey, and Rock watched as he rushed for thirty-five yards on seven carries. Rock tried to interview him after the game, but the cat couldn't speak. Instead, he licked Rock, who knew then the cat indeed was his roommate, Joe. Suddenly, Rock was in some sort of haywire conflict of interest. He wondered whether he could write a story about a cat named Joe Perkins who had just run for thirty-five yards in a high school football game.
