Ballet Cat Dances Like Nobody’s Watching

Ballet Cat Dances Like Nobody’s Watching

ADVERTISEMENT

Ever wondered what your cat gets up to when you’re not at home? Well, wonder no more because Bored Panda is here to expose the truth about our feline friends. Far from chilling on the couch or watching birds from the window, cats are actually a lot more active when they think that humans aren’t looking. And by active we mean that they dance. Ballet, to be precise.

I know, we didn’t believe it either at first. But then we saw the photographs and now there can be no doubt. We always knew that cats were one of the animal kingdom’s more graceful creatures but this cat takes graceful to a whole new level. Look at the aplomb! Look at that allegro! And look at that Superman! Cats might hate us humans, but they clearly love their ballet

My cat does the same thing. He goes after the cat-toy and twists and leaps and bounds. This is my idea of it.

My cat sleeps when I am at home. I'm now suspicious as to what she gets up to when I'm not around.

Cats are actually very capable of dancing. It's been documented historically that cats can do synchronized dancing with humans with a fine level of artistry and grace. A booked titled "Dancing With Cats" details this phenomenon: https://www.amazon.ca/Dancing-Cats-Creators-International-Seller/dp/1452128332

All cats dance, some are more graceful than others. My male has the soul of a tap dancer and the female likes to waltz.

Nice photo shots! That can be challenging to catch such shots..... could be fun to set this up in studio blank background and add tutu! or if time and resources permitted base it off some famous ballets... ;)

Exquisite photography to capture these moments so perfectly! Cats can indeed be the epitome of grace (when they are not being total klutzes LOL) but these pics are a stunning tribute ;-)

When it comes to grace, power and sheer athleticism, we humans are definitely second-stringers!

It doesn't look photoshopped to me! And it had to be still photos to capture the different "poses," since he/she is just being a cat.

So, if cats only do this when humans aren't around...Who took the pics? Still impressive. I know humans that don't move that well. ;) #JustSayin
