      Cat Videos and #MeToo

      From the moment I first picked this book up to the moment I slowly put it down some time later I was ... I don't think "captivated" is the word I want but maybe it will have to do for the time being.So, we get pages of people dancing with their cats photos with accompanying text of new age dross. I am rather embarrassed to admit that it took me a long time to determine that it was satire.

      Science, superstition or whimsy? Whatever it is, I love it--and yes, I do dance with my three cats (Ace is the lead of the three)...

      Um... yea... I don't know exactly what to say about this book. I picked it up because I thought what the heck it's about cats might as well read it. It is completely silly and crazy. I'm sorry but I don't feel all tingly when I'm around my cats. I'm lucky if my cats stay in my room for more than 2 minutes and you think they are going to dance with me and mimic my dancing? Um... no. I'm at a loss for words with this book.

      I adore my cats and have been known to hop around the house with ours, quick at my heals, hopping and skittering around; however, Dancing with Cats by Burton Silver and Heather Busch is a weird little book. The strange thing is that three different people have given me this book. The title says it all. It was amusing to glance through, but I do not need a copy. The book has the same tongue-and-cheek feel of [Painting with Cats]. It's funny, but strange too. It's got entries by purported spiritual healers and shows a bunch of people 'dancing' around with their cats. I could have gone an entire lifetime without seeing the photograph on page 28. Wait a moment--scratch that. I could have done without not only the photograph on page 28, but also those on pages 88 through 94. If you are my friend, please don't give me this book a fourth time or I will be tempted to count you an enemy. I'm already going to have nightmares about page 28.

      Another deft satire of self-involved artiness, with clever pictures. Consider this warning about the power of dancing with your cat: "...sometimes the energy is so powerful I worry about overstimulating my aura. At those levels, an unstable etheric oscillation could collapse into an astral vortex and suck my spiritual reserves into a state of negative sub-matter." Yeah, I hate when that happens.

      Beautiful photographs of dancing cats and their dancing human partners.
