Dancing with Cats

By Vernon Felton

WHAT: Dancing with Cats HOW MUCH: $16.95 WHERE: Garden-variety, left-leaning bookstore

I’m struggling to find the words. Groping and bumping my head against a thousand walls. How, exactly, can I relay just how disturbing Dancing with Cats truly is? For instance, I was planning to use that as my first sentence: Dancing with Cats is truly the most disturbing book I’ve laid eyes on….but nah, still doesn’t convey it.

I guess I’ll just back up and explain the book’s premise. I’m going to rely heavily on the book’s own text here, because, honestly I still don’t have a fuckin’ clue as to what the authors were trying to do here. So, let me re-print a snippet from the inside leaf .Ahem….

”While researching their groundbreaking book, Why Cats Paint, Burton Silver and Heather Busch discovered another phenomenon that seemed to merit further investigation—people who dance with their cats. Or, more accurately, cats who dance with their people. All around the world today, people are rediscovering the ancient practice of cat dancing, tapping into this remarkable method of channeling feline energy… A brave leap forward in the history of human-feline relations, Dancing with Cats will have you and your cat jumping for joy—and cutting a rug—in no time.”

"When Ralph dances with two cats, the energy fields can become confused. Instead of power being released through well-controlled movements, one cat makes sudden mad dashes and leaps. Cats who do this on their own are often good dancers."

Point Number One: I have a hard time getting publishers to bite off on sensible, marketable book ideas, and some jack ass has gotten a publisher to pony up the cash (4-color throughout, heavy card-stock pages…this thing must have cost a bundle to produce) for not just one, but two, books with utterly insane premises (cats who paint and cats who dance). Okay, I’ll admit this is pure envy on my part. My grudge here, as the hip hop crowd would say, is just pure hating. I’ll move on.

Point Number Two: There is no world-wide trend of cat dancing. If there was, the nightly news would play reels of it non-stop. We’d never see another shark or pitbull attack again. No more coverage of the war in Iraq. There’d be no Brad Pitt-just-knocked-up-Angelina Jolie coverage. Just lots of manx and tabbies fox trotting into TV eternity. If Ted Turner and the combined satanic forces of NBC, ABC and CBS haven’t already fabricated this story, it simply doesn’t exist. Seriously.

Dancing with a tail of his own, Fred becomes a psychic extension of the cat. 'I share its grace, power and oneness with the universe. I relate to Fluff andthe whole spectrum of feline physicality on a profound level. I even regard birds differently.'"

Point Number Three: There is no such thing as “the history of human-feline relations”. There is no relationship with a cat—if by the word “relationship” we mean a give and take between two partners who either care for each other or provide one another with services. Here’s the deal: cats are the Ike Turners of the animal kingdom. They use you for food and shelter. They ride on your coat tails. They don’t love or even like you.

Yes, cat owners, try hard to construe certain actions as signs of affection, but the same cat owners invariably come into work every other week with a gash on their face or arm, blubbering “I must have done something wrong. I was cuddling with Mr. Paws and suddenly he got up and flayed open my cheek. Now I have tetanus and the doctor is going to have to cut off half of my jaw. I’m so worried about Mr. Paws! Why did I have to anger him? Why didn’t I give him more space?” Something along those lines.

Cats don’t love people. They are just biding their time. Eating your food, fucking the neighbors Siamese, spraying your favorite couch because, shit, why the hell not? It’s not like they care about you. The moment you grow weak, they’re on top of you. Eating you alive. I’m dead serious here.

True story: when my wife was doing her ER residency in Buffalo they brought a woman into the hospital whose toes had been nibbled clean off by her four cats. The old lady suffered some kind of stroke while on the crapper and sat there for two days, with her pants around her ankles and her cats gnawing on her feet. It wasn’t like it took a month for the cats to turn on her—we’re talking about less than 48 friggin’ hours! Think about it.

You may take my ranting as just pure cat-hating rhetoric. While it’s true that I’m a fan of dogs, it’s not that I actually hate cats. I just respect the fact that they’ve never allowed themselves to become entirely domesticated. They’re basically small versions of mountain lions. If they could take you down, they would. Minus the opportunity, they’ll just eat your food and destroy your house. I’ve got in-laws like that. I don’t hate them for it; I just don’t invite them to live with me. Know what I mean?

"Helen believes that Boots dances so well because they share a lot in common. 'He's a Scorpio and I have the sun in Pisces, so there's a good deal of karmic support. Also our auras usually match, and numerologically we're both Eights, which makes for a strong psychic bond.'

But I’ve strayed again from the topic. This book. Well, let’s just say it’s got some of the most disturbing images this side of German fecal porn. It’s tough stuff to look at, though I’ll admit that the production values and photographic lighting are absolutely top-notch (which only rubs salt to the wounds, so to speak).

I’ve seen several copies in local bookstores, but I live in a place where colonics and oxygen bars do a brisk trade, despite the fact that 30 percent of the population is in-debt or flat-out broke. I think Howard Dean would have made a great president and I’m considered to the right of Ghengis Khan in this town. Accordingly, you might have to head for the absolute hippiest/new age town in your state to find the book. Consider yourself warned.

Finally, you could argue that this book is intended to be humorous and that I'm just being a bit dense about the whole thing. Yes, yes...I've considered that possibility, but I've scoured each page for the slightest hint of tongue-in-cheek. While the contents are ludicrous, I think this is, in fact, an earnest enterprise--some people are just that f-ed up in the head.
If this book is meant to be humorous, then it is the most subtle, ingenius work written to date. A strange conclusion, yeah, I know. Sort of like thinking, "That's either the next mother of my children or that's the most beautiful man I've ever met." Odd. Disturbing. There you have it.

The sad thing about your review is... you're a biased person. You're not giving an objective review. Just screaming your pointless opinion all over the place. Is your review so I guess you can say whatever it pleases you. I got to admit, I'm not a cat person. I'm a dog lover, but all my life I've live with cats since my mother loves them. We always got more than six at any period of time. Neither of these cats have ever scratched my mother or me (and like I said, I'm NOT a cat person). Cats do show love. They can be scary loyal as well. Very possesive with their humans. They are different than dogs, so their love is different as well. And just for the record, one of the youngests cats in the house can paint. Mom discovered this when she left some unsupervised acrilic paints on one of the tables. Now she and Snow spend time doing crazy painting in canvas. Whatever. Just because is not in CBS doesn't mean is less real. Your reviw, your biased opinion.

If cats can dance, so can dogs, so where is the dancing with dogs book? Dogs are probably better dancers anyway, since they let thier owners do about anything with them as long as they get a treat at the end....

I just have to say, this is by far the definition of 'flake'. I am a cat lover, but I hereby repeat what I have said all along: "I prefer to be known as a dog person because cat people are unable to fully relate to society in a healthy way." Yep, disturbing. And I share your feelings about publishers...how does one go about getting published? write a book that appeals to socially inept people whose life revolves around--not helping others, or giving their time and resources to those in need--but dancing... with cats. sad. sad. sad.

ps:whoever wrote this is a retard. cats love their owners if their owners are good to them. my cat loves me so much that he memerized when i get up in the morning so he can greet me at that time AND he puts up with me when i tease/scare him half to death all the time. and hes still sticking around. if he was just using me for food then he would be gone by now because there is a lady up the street that feeds strays.

I've seen news about a woman who's been hospitalized because her dogs ate her hands off, though, she was still defending them, saying they didn't understand, etc, - on national TV. Cats and dogs are - animals. Period. There is a spiritual realm with its beings. It's quite possible, since the hippy-type was always targeted by demons, since they're so naive, and will easily believe any "spiritual-y" stuff without much thinking and checking the possible source, that - by performing the "preparation" (a ritual) to dance with cats, they let demons to access theirs and cats' minds. I bet if I were to command in the name of Jesus Christ for any evil spirits to leave my presence, with a dancing cat around - all the "dancing" would have stopped, - instantly. And I know what I'm talking about. ;). Yoga, also employs certain exercises that will eventually help your soul come out of your body. Then a man in white robe(a demon) will start coming to you at nig

ht to "comfort" you.. One of my "relatives" had it. Sometimes, one's soul does not return back into the body, that happened to one famous yoga practionairs. I can tell you a lot of other kooky stuff. And it's all very real, especially when it happens to you. Have you ever awaken at night with a sudden very sharp sense of fear and of someone's presence in the room when no one's there? Yep. That's them. And the fear they instill - it's one of the scariest things you'll ever experience. Though, if you're a christian and they have nothing on you - just tell them in Jesus Christ's name to go away - and they will. But if you're not a christian, - you're pretty much screwed. Yeah.. Dancing with cats...

I don't know where to start about your opinion. Cat's have had a symbiotic relationship with man for eons. They are excellent mousers to guard the grain storage. In Europe, its been recorded that superstition prevented the cat from being welcome and the rat population got out of control and spread the plague. The Jews survived because they welcomed cats. They have been part of religious practices and rituals and found adorned and mummified as well as famous sculptures in Egyptian times. My cat used to go upstairs, turn on the faucet with her paw, put her head under the dripping water, drink... Then, she would hop down and wash her face. She didn't meow, she made syllibic noises and would sit by my side in bead when I was severely sick. Lived 22 years. If a cat ate a womans toes, then lets talk about dogs ripping people's faces off. Was it neglect or just their nature? Think about it. You are biased.

I own 2 cats - amusing & affectionate animals. Please don't prejudge me to be some kind of f*ckwitted, needy emotional retard because I enjoy owning pets. There is a worrying amount of hate being shown in the comments here..... anyway... the book is, I suspect, a cynical money-maker. Some publishers will print anything they think will make a few bucks, no matter how oddball, as there is always someone who will relate to the subject matter. So what's the big problem if some people think their pet dances with them? It's not harming anyone, it's not illegal and it's not offensive. Just different from how I live my life. What is so bad about different? Leave 'em alone - I'm sure they get enough unsolicited mocking from their neighbours. BTW, it IS allowed to like both cats and dogs, you don't have to take sides - it's called bipetual. ;-)

Of course it's tongue in cheek. Read the snopes page: http://www.snopes.com/photos/arts/paintedcats.asp Or for those too lazy to click the link, I'll quote the most relevant part. 'Their pans are dead and perfectly composed; no hint of actual intention is allowed; all is surface. Well, perhaps one little hint. At the very front of the book is the notation "Why Cats Paint is a registered international experiment in inter-species morphic resonance and is designed to test the hypothesis of formative causation." 'In other words: If you describe a phenomenon, perhaps it will come to exist.' Ah, how gullible is society...

hey. so, i saw this at a used book store, for like four bucks and yeah i bought it. part of me wants to either show this to my philosophy prof. because the passages are just as juicy as the pictures, and at the end, the last guy explains how dancing with cats is beneficial to everyone, to the universe lol. the other part wants to drop this on my psyc prof's desk and be like EXPLAIN. i have never laughed so hard in my life. i mean fuck, maybe it's legit, because the cats actually look like they're dancing with them, or they're being flung into the air. this book DOES benefit everyone because it shows people what beasteality really looks like. it will also make anyones darkest thought seem precious in comparison. thanks. the end.

I have two cats who love me, but if Daddy did not feed them those suckers would be eating my face off.....hell, I'd fry them up if the world ran out of food. Tastes like chicken right?

It was so worth the 5.99 I paid! The reason i got it for her, though, was that she did have her own version of cat dancing... she used to do a dance in front of one of our cats and it would look at her and get all playful and start biting the rug... just like it was thinking about biting her....really funny.

You dont understand the psychology of cats, you are too primitively simple to get a grasp on the sensitive and healing abilities of these animals (I am a holistic practitioner). You even ignore how cats are proven to get people out of depression, reduce blood pressure and hearth problems. They comfort the elders and teach the youth to connect with the animal kingdom with respect. Cats even got people out bed while their house was burning. They refuse to eat and take care of themselves when abandoned even if they still have food and a warm pillow. They are amazing beings, and gift those that can connect to them, the love that most humans cant even give each others. Study some cat behaviorism before degrading what you ignore. Obviously you dont deserve cats, of the rare dancing variety or not, so let these felines and those that know how to relate to them alone.

Apparently some neanderthals envy the connection the kindred souls feel toward the animal kingdom. A natural ability that is forcefully repressed by society until removal from awareness and with it a subjugation of the abilities of the right brain such as intuition, art and mysticism. Remove yourself from sensitivity, fit the stereotype of harshness so you will fit dissociated, in the common dysfunction and supporting oppression do the game of the system. This is pressure on us since childhood and if you maintain the heart relation to the Earth and her Inhabitants you are weird.. and you go for it.. without reflecting, afraid to feel and diminishing those that are full human beings. You do perceive subconsciously this cut off part of your self and you can only resent those few harmonic individuals that are still able to empathize to the essence of animals. Because of people like you, disconnected, self absorbed, insensitive, the world is facing the present problems.

Not to rain on the parade, but Dancing with Cats is a big joke. A completely satirical book. The author is a comedian from New Zealand. All you have to do is wikipedia Burton Silver. Gotta love those Kiwi's humor. He duped everyone on here including myself. The real joke, however is on the people that are DEFENDING the book. Crazy cat ladies!

It is not even a matter of believing in the book or not, it a DEFENSE agains the arrongant ideology of degrading our connection, love and appreciation of animals that is so arrogantly prevalent in our barbaric society and need to be reastablished as our right.

Humans believe to be the most intelligent animal and instead they are the real beast! If animals could name the devil they would think it has taken a human form.
