Cat Circus

3/16/2016

From the title of this blog entry, many of you may think that I am talking about my house and my life with my three cats. While that is often a circus--especially when they decided to chase each other over the bed while we are sleeping or when Nabor and Sonny just don't get along--this is NOT about them. This is actually about a "real" cat circus.

Recently, I saw this car at a local eating establishment and upon investigation found out that the Acro-Cats were in town and having a show at a local playhouse.

I asked Cindy and Stacy if they wanted to come along and be part of a night they would "never forget," they said that they had to go for fear that I would run away with the circus. So tickets purchased....I was both excited and a little embarrassed. Come on, it is an event where I paid money to see cats perform--but gotta start working on that bucket list at some point

I do not even know how to explain it. When we arrived they "stamped our paws" directed us to where the "litter box" could be found and told us that we were in for a "purr-fect" evening. There were 17 cats in the show and it was apparent that TUNA was the star. The big cat on top of the van is in his likeness. He rang a bell, he gave high fives but wait until you hear about his role with The Rock Cats (Saving that for the end--best for last--lol)

Cats walked tight ropes, pushed carts, jumped through hoops as well as often got "off script" and wandered into the audience. The fun part is that audience was made up of like minded souls who thought every "failed attempt" was just as cute as the successful ones.

Then they finally brought on The Rock Cats. And remember Tuna...he played the cowbell. They even sold shirts that said "More Cowbell, Tuna." Ok, yes, I bought one. Damn, this is feeling more like a confessional than a blog-spot! Regardless, it was precious. Here are The Rock Cats and of course Tuna, on cowbell.

I didn't put anything on Facebook because it just sounded so silly. So don't even ask me why I would blog about it. Maybe it is the side effects from cat scratch fever.
