Now, at first I was a skeptic of felines being able to paint, but as I delved deeper in to the book I became more convinced that cats really could paint. I was amazed and overjoyed at the thought of living in a magical world where cats (who don't even have opposable thumbs) can create beautiful works of art. Bootsie (seen below) described as a "trans-expressionist", was clearly the star of the book with his flamboyant flair for the dramatic painting as he would soar through the air while creating a masterpiece on his canvas.
Boy, was I duped. I was played and I wish now that I didn't research the book. I feel like the wind has been let out of my cat artist loving sails. It's like learning there is no Santa Claus, or that thunder really isn't God bowling, or worst of all, that you're never getting that baby brother you always wanted. It appears that it is one of three fictional cat art books, including Why Paint Cats and Dancing with Cats.

I'd still like to be a believer though, I mean there is something so majestic and beautiful about a cat who can paint, be painted or dance.

You probably already checked out some of the inside of "Dancing with Cats" through amazon.com, but if you haven't you should. There are some priceless pictures.
The description of the author is incredible as well:
"Burton Silver has written several books on cats including, Why Cats Paint. He lives in New Zealand but travels extensively to lecture on feline energy-field dynamics."
At least i now know that there is one person sicker about cats then you are!!!!
