Summary: Very funny book, no matter what "Cat Spring, Texas" says.
Review: ...by the way, there is NO "Cat Spring, Texas", in case you were wondering. Obvioulsy "Cat Spring" did not take their Prozac that day as they were making WAY too many ASSUMPTIONS as to how things are made. All I'll say is that if you are a cat owner (and have a sense of humour) this is a MUST read. Wild and wacky "analysis" is just great humour. You will just love it!

Summary: Whoa...
Review: A quote from a cat dancer: "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." Any author who can publish that sentence with a straight face deserves to sell as many books as they can.

Summary: Get a life!
Review: Anyone who buys this book must seriously question their membership in the human race. People who dance with their cats have obviously left the sane world and have joined a sick world of feline-human relations. I thumbed through this book after laughing hysterically at the title, not knowing that I would nearly double over laughing at the absurdity of someone creating such a work. Whoever was sucked into funding this piece of garbage is an even bigger idiot than its creators. The absurdity of the book's concept is illustrated in one of many assinine photos, in which a man appears in a cat body paint costume with a giant cat tail strapped to his buttocks in what must be a repulsing attempt to seduce the cat into sexual relations. Truly disgusting!!! Both of them are in midair, but I must say it honestly appears as though the cat was thrown or kicked to reach its height (someone call PETA!). This book belongs at the bottom of a cat's litterbox.

Summary: Great Fun!
Review: Anyone who loves cats will just love this book. It is such great fun. I've spent a lifetime watching many cats play in such unforgettable ways, but I've never seen a cat book that had so much fun with playing with cats! Wild an Whacky! Great photography!

Summary: My most prized possession...
Review: As the name implies, this book has pictures of people...uhm, dancing with cats. That's pretty much it. If you are a fan of performance art and/or a cat lover, this book will have some appeal to you. However, if neither of these things appeal to you (or if you are like me, where those topics not only do not appeal to you, but cause nausea upon sight), handle it like nuclear waste: use gloves, and tongs, and have it incinerated - otherwise, you will flip through it in about two seconds and wonder, "What the **** did I just buy?"

Summary: Study and testimonies of people who dance with cats
Review: Dancing with Cats is another well-researched study of feline modern dance by the same researchers who brought us Why Cats Paint. We are treated to the same extensive photographic evidence. In the case of dance, the felines invite human participation but the felines remain in full artistic control.The cats are very non-discrimatory (in human terms) in selecting their dance partners - a full range of age, gender and skin color participate in the dance. Can anyone be unmoved by Selena, dressed as a fairy, dancing with Zoot and Oscar, declaring "they want to fly like fairies. Cats never ever eat fairies, except sometimes, by mistake."? One of the best dance comedy or feline comedy books you'll every encounter.

Summary: Dancing With Cats is hilarious!
Review: Dancing With Cats is hilarious! The claim that the cats were tortured is kind of pushing it, especially considering that of the 4 cats I've had as pets in my life, 3 of them were prone to leaping out of 2nd story windows in hot pursuit of squirrels! I learned when I was still quite young that my cat loved it when I held her in my arms and twirled in circles. It was only a short while before we were actually dancing together-cheek to whisker-just like Fred and Ginger. I didn't think it could get any better than Why Cats Paint, but when I saw that this book was on its way, I danced for joy! Thank you Burton Silver and Heather Busch, for the wonderful photographs and the incredibly entertaining text!

Summary: Such wonderfully whimsical pictures of dancing cats!
Review: Despite the whole mumbo-jumbo of spirituality nonsense about human-cat relations, I nevertheless enjoyed those delightful photos of cats actually standing up on their hind legs to dance with their equally agile owners. What gives this very artful book a great whimsicality is how those humans all dressed up in such colorful costumes like a little girl clad in a fairy garb, a veiled harem dancer, black-lipped Gothic actors, and the like, including a heavyset lady in purple tatters very gracefully twirling about with her very shaggy Persian kitty named Boots. Would be a great addition to your coffee table especially for somebody who loves cats and dancing!

Summary: Simply Ridiculous
Review: First off, I think the authors' choice for pseudonyms is telling. Get real: Burt on Silver and Heat her Busch. Very offensive. Secondly, this book is nothing more than some ridiculous pictures of crazy cat-lovin' fools dancing with their (no doubt laughing on the inside) idiotic felines. What makes this a real trip to loonyville, is this is not a joke. My current spouse was given this book by one of the nattering fools in her cat club and has been dancing around the house dressed up like Alice in Wonderland with her annoying tabby, Bobo. It is about all I can stand (I have phoned my lawyer). "Dancing With Cats" has taken over my home. The only thing Bessie wants to do is dance with Bobo. Instead of making my meals and keeping the house clean (and let's not even talk about her appearance), she's busy knitting costumes (she refers to them as catumes) for Bobo and dancing arond the house like Isadora Duncan on a bender. I'm warning you: if this book finds its way into your home, you're in for some hard times. I can't tell you how many times I have launched "Dancing With Cats" into the trash bin, fireplace, out the automobile window, and upside Bobo's puny head. And each time another appears. It must be good for sales, but it is very frustrating for me. Crazy catlovers seem to like this book. Normal, humans, even those who can tolerate cats will find it one of those ridiculous things that points out just how many crazy fools there are in this world.
