How do people actually dance with their cats?
Well they don’t dance with them in the normally accepted way. That is, they don’t jig up and down with them for minutes at a time. I know that some of the photographs in the book can give that impression, but ‘dancing’ is really the best term we have available to describe an interaction between a human and a cat or between two cats where they move synchronistically with one another, often for only a brief period of time. It seems to result from a build up of energy between them. Biologists say that the cat is simply releasing energy while cat dancers claim that it’s a very powerful form of interaction. I guess the jury is still out on this one.
