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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fur people are more creative than you imagine.
Review: Great fun! As clever as Why Cats Paint and (almost) more believeable. Wonderful action shots of cats dancing with their people. If you liked Why Cats Paint, you'll love this also.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Laughing in the Aisles
Review: I don't think this book was meant to be humorous, or maybe it was, but I nearly messed my pants when I looked at it. It was so funny I had to buy it. The pictures were hilarity at its best, and the accompanying script was even better. Truly a comedic genius that I highly recommend, whether you are a cat lover or not.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Buy this book for the pictures!
Review: I have a weakness for cats, I admit that freely, and it leaves me predisposed to a book like "Dancing with Cats," which is crammed with photographs of cats (and their humans) leaping, stretching and "dancing" with abandon.

Is the dancing real? Well, I don't knowm and judging by some of the other reviews, there is room for doubt...but I defy any cat to resist some of the visual stimuli directed towards the cats in this book (a swishing faux-"tail," scarves, etc.).

Some of the new age psycho-babble spouted by the human subjects made my eyes glaze, so I ultimately chose to largely ignore the text and instead focus on the pictures themselves. Since the pictures, and not the text, are what made me buy the book in the first place, this was probably a wise move.

"Dancing with Cats" is a very enjoyable book, full of delightful photos that are sure to appeal to cat lovers everywhere.

Summary: Five stars for hilarity
Review: I have never laughed so long or hard in public as I did while thumbing through this book in the local bookstore. There are probably two kinds of people in this world: those who read this book and go home and try to dance with their cats in a similar manner, and those who fall down in uncontrollable hysterics at the sight of overweight trippy-hippy yahoos flinging themselves and their cats into the air. If you are feeling depressed or are taking the world too seriously, I highly recommend taking a quick look at this book. If you really believe cats can dance and communicate spiritually through such an activity with their owners, then you deserve to lose your well-earned money to these idiotic publishers.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Inspiring, beautifully illustrated...
Review: I love to play around with my cat and we often do something very akin to dancing but until I discovered this wonderful book, I thought I was the only one. Cats are amazingly graceful and they love to interact with their owners, so of course others do it! It's time cat lovers came "out of the closet" and discussed the fun of dancing with cats. Thanks to the authors for creating this book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I can't believe this book exists!
Review: I saw the skit on Comedy Central with Burton Silver, and came to Amazon to make sure that the book was for real! Hilarious! Sign me up for a class, asap-just so I can meet the people who really are dancing with their cats.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: How were some of the pictures made?
Review: I share the concern of the reader from "Cat Spring, Texas" regarding how some of the pictures may have been made. Were some of the "dancing" cats in fact being bounced up and down on a trampoline? The people who enjoy books about animals are also concerned about the treatment of animals. I hope the next in this series of books is along the lines of "Why Cats Meditate" rather than, "Why Cats Waterski."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love Dancing With Cats!
Review: I've been dancing with my cats ever since my next door neighbor told me that her cat loved it when she played her Barry Manilow records. My cat, Fredrica's, taste is a little more refined-she prefers to caterwaul along and bounce her little paws to my well-worn copy of the Rolling Stones album Sticky Fingers. Musical tastes aside, it's long been a well-known fact among cat lovers that feline movement is only enhanced by a little human help-whether it be through turning on the stereo or putting on your own dancing shoes. Heather and Burton hit the nail on the head with this one-although Fredrica hasn't shown any proclivity in the visual arts, I might have to get Why Cats Paint just in case she does!
