The question to ask is not "Will my cat dance with me?" but rather "Will I dance with my cat?"

In my internet surfing this a.m. (don't ask, because I'm not sure how), I was struck with the strange desire to relive memories of Dancing with Cats, that book we used to laugh at A LOT in college. So here are some pictures and some frequently asked questions, just for your future reference, when wanting to dance with your cat. And who wouldn't want to do that, I ask you?

What if my cat won't dance with me?

Well you have to accept that some cats, like some humans, just don't dance. But a lot of the time cats won't dance because people expect almost instantaneous results. They think they can stroke their cat a bit, then put on the music and puss cat will be boogieing with them in no time. It's not that easy. You have to put hours of time in to the pre-dance energy alignment exercises, like mirroring, remote stroking, mutual purring and so on, before most cats will dain to join you in the dance — and then it's often for only a brief moment. The other problem people have is not being able to relax and let go of their doubts. Cats are extremely sensitive to our moods and people who are even slightly skeptical can easily put the cat off.

Does catnip help cats to dance?

Some people claim that drugs like catnip or valerian really get their cat going, while others claim they have the opposite effect. Detractors say the cat may indulge in some initial high energy activity but it tends to be short lived and it will very quickly end up flopping about and going to sleep. I think it depends on the cat, and provided you have no ethical objection to your cat taking performance enhancing drugs, I definitely think they're worth a try.

....It appears to me that some of these people have also indulged in some "catnip" as well, yes?
