Dear George,
I got so encouraged and inspired by your
answer and, of course by the comments made by other feline friends in reference
to my last letter that I felt it was my duty to up-date you on the latest
development of training my humans.
Between your advice to train them without them
“knowing” and CAT Victoria’s mentioning of “Dance me to the end of love”
(which, by the way…it is a Leonard Cohen’s song) I came up with this brilliant
idea…I’ll teach them “tango”!
Why tango? Because it’s passionate! It’s
dramatic! It has the “wow”…the “joie de vivre”! I’ll teach my female human how
to tango! She’ll love the passion. She’ll love the rose between my teeth (as
you can see in the picture). I’ll make my male human jealous! I’ll make him
forget about Bach! I’ll make him change the “tune”. I’ll make him love tango!
Good plan? What do you think George?
Tango…..anyone?
Lenny
Dear Lenny,
After a bad week, having lost my cool with Toby's boast about his whiskers, your letter came like an inspiration. What a caring cat you are. And what a truly wild idea - teaching your human to tango. And that photo! So romantic!
Do you in Canada by any chance have a TV programme called Strictly Dancing? We do and it shows human celebrities competing for a dancing trophy. If your idea catches on we could have cat celebrities teaching humans to dance? Here in the UK we could start with Larry the Downing St cat teaching David Cameron to dance human cheek to feline cheek.
Over the pond it's probably too late to get Socks, the former White House cat, involved. He retired from politics altogether, though I always thought that President Clinton would have avoided a lot of trouble if he had spent more time with Socks and less with interns.
But there is one problem. Are humans capable of learning a pas de deux with cats? I have my gravest doubts about President Clinton or David Cameron. Nor do I think your Canadian mayor Rob Ford would manage too well: he'd probably fall over.
Keep us informed on our progress, Lenny. This could be the beginning of something big.
Yours
George

I would have never guessed that you are so much into politics George!
ReplyDeleteYes, we do have a show called "Dancing with the stars".
I doubt that Mayor Ford has a cat but the Prime Minister, Mr. Harper, has more than one (his wife is saving cats from the shelters).
And, Lenny.....very well done!
Bravo!
Diego
Lenny, I'm so happy I inspired you! Yes, I can't wait to tango with you :-)

Some humans are more gifted than others. And mine are ...more gifted :-)
ReplyDeleteLenny, I'm sure your humans are gifted too. You can tango with the whole family!
Mummy used to dance with me and my late sister since we were 6 weeks old. Now....she still does with me (but I know she misses Cayenne very much)
Love
Fluffy
I don't think my Peep #1 is graceful enough to do the Tango or any other dance with me.
