Riddles

Confused Dogs GIF by MOODMAN
 
Tip #2:

There is one word in the riddle that is a well known term used in a common leisure activity. Some other words, terms or phrases in the riddle relate to that and have double meanings too which will solve the riddle.

Next riddle:

There once lived a cool cat above the alley.
that loved taking daily a food tally.
"A turkey on day one, that is so neat,"
the next morn, "a wild one, day two, that is so sweet."
The next afternoon, "a ham-turkey dinner, so yummy"
And jotting down the best for last, a golden bird, I now see.

What is it?

Is it Tally McNally the Cat keeping math fun? I know that is the wrong answer and I am all out of guess. And somehow random searches of parts of your riddle led me to this kids book.

No, but I like the fact you are thinking deeper and out of the box . My final Clue is this:

Close, you are beginning to go down the right alley.
But, one more strike and you all will be out,
count them all and that will be the tally.

Three for a turkey, six if it is wild.
Seven for that dinner, even if mild.
And if you knock down ten times nine,
A golden turkey for you, almost perfectly fine.
 
And if you are looking for "A bowler" I'm going to have to pick The Dude who is the best fictional bowler from the movie The Big Lebowski. The Dude abides.
 
@DrBadStrings. I am going to give you the win, as it was so close, being bowling related. The reason I will give the answer is because I do not think even most casual bowlers may know the "specific" answer from those clues..

Riddle explanation:

The cat was sitting above the bowling alley, not a city alley.
She was counting strikes.
It is called a turkey in bowling if one rolls three strikes in a row,
A ham bone if four in a row,
A wild turkey if six in a row,
A ham-turkey dinner (4+3) in a row,
And a golden turkey if nine strikes in a row.

I did not list them all.

So, an acceptable answer would have been bowling or strikes. I did not expect the answer golden turkey at the end of the riddle. The key words in the riddle were alley and tally. Bowling, and counting strikes in reference to, as most would not have picked up on the bird and food terms, in relation to bowling.

That was a good one. I'll let you come up with the next. I had thought bowling from the beginning but then I got thrown by the clues and some of the guesses.
 
I would have never guessed. My knowledge of bowling is so limited that I don't even know for sure if the objective is to knock all the pegs down or to get the ball though without knocking any of them down.

The goal is to knock them down every time. A strike is when you knock them all down, preferably in one shot. A perfect game is 300. And I am absolutely terrible at it. That is the sum total of my bowling knowledge.
 
New riddle:

I am mostly black and white,
have a beginning, middle and end
Sometimes on the attack, sometimes I will defend.
I can move at slow, moderate or rapid speed ,
I can trap you to finally concede.

What am I?
 
@DrBadStrings Yes, we understand. In my case, I just took a day off in case another wanted to post a riddle before me. I usually do that if I posted one just prior.

Next riddle:

This might be a sleeper, or a throw down to you all,
when I tell some of you here:
If I do not rock the baby if he wails,
I will resort to a breakaway without fear
and around the corner I may go too,
unless walking my dog for you will do.

What is it?
