Museum Cats 09/23/2004 11:35 AM

The Art of Cats:
The Katte nkabinet (Cat Cabinet, the Cat Museum) of Amsterdam: a collection of objects d'art wholly centered around the theme of the cat, among which you will find a wonderful gallery including Picasso. Controversial social taboos are not avoided. Malaysia's Cat City of Kuching has a Cat Museum; more info on the Museum of Meows he re (Ancient Egyptians shaved their eyebrows in mourning when the family cat died. Malays attached superstitions to cats believing they possessed supernatural powers...) The scullery of Kathleen Mann's Antiques in London's High Street has a "Purrfect Museum" too, with 250 exhibits from all over the world going back to the 1770s, founded by Kathleen and her mother ... Kitty. Not to be outdone, Lith uania and Russia have cat museums as well.

Watching Cats 06/22/2004 02:41 AM
I Like To Watch: A photographic record of cats transfixed; self-referential cats; cat Witnesses of Our Time; cat onlookers; cats gazing stupidly at infinity; lightly hypnotized brainpan-fried cats; feline couch potatoes; cats afflicted by the staring disease; briefly and easily amused cats; UN observer cats; guilty bystander cats. All in all, an extremely important investigation into the perennial question of how to hold a cat's attention. [Click on "Cats", funnily enough.]

Dancing With Cats


Dancing With Cats 06/09/2004 01:01 AM
I just got home from having coffee with a friend at my favorite cafe in West Hollywood. There's a zany new age bookstore down the street. Sometimes I pop in for the sole purpose of sneering at book titles like Tantric Sex for Dummies and Is Your Pet Psychic?

But tonight was no ordinary night of snorting and hiding my face in the Feng Shui soy candle display. A little paperback gem was hiding on the shelf below that black velvet UFO portrait of The High Eck Master. I found a very special large-format book called Dancing With Cats (Chronicle Books, 1999). It's filled with pictures of humans fannying about in tights, striking "I-Wish-I-Were-Baryshnikov" poses -- together with cats who doing the same thing. The text is equally rich. Straightfaced talk of "multicat" interspecies dance ensembles as a tool for enlightenment, think Busby Berkeley with hairballs and chakras. What's so awesome about this book: (a) 100% irony-free, and (b) it HAS to be Photoshoppery. It's, like, straight out of Worth. As if someone positions the humans, shoots them, then goes back, someone else hurls a cat accross the room and photographs that, then everything's composited in a terpsichorean orgy of catpixels.

There's a website for this book with a teaser thumbnail gallery, some awesome MPEG movies, and online tips for would-be "catdancers" (The question to ask is not "Will my cat dance with me?" but rather "Will I dance with my cat?"). Dig the pre-dance exercises:

Before we can begin dancing with our cats, we must first make contact with them. We can't simply put on music and expect that our cats will dance with us. We have to first align our dynamic vibration systems with theirs and bring those systems into a kind of confluence before we can build the energy levels through the dance that are necessary to attain the higher vibrationary states which enable us to channel the infinite power of the universe.

You see, human beings and cats are not simply physical bodies confined within a barrier of skin or fur. We are also made up of dynamic energy systems which extend out, and interact with, every other energy system around us.

There's a simple exercise you can try right now as you sit in front of your computer. It's one of a number of what we call mirroring exercises that will allow you to bring your body into an energy-centered relationship with your cat and prepare you to dance with it... a simple purring technique. Remember that purring is the way a cat modulates its energy reserves in order to restore its psychic equilibrium.

So, roll yourself a catnip fattie and smoke this: Link

Women prefer cats to men


Women prefer cats to men 03/17/2005 03:24 AM

After three weeks of hanging around like an unwelcome in-law, the filthy grey snow banks are finally melting here in Boston.  With the advent of warmth and sunshine I would have expected everyonealong Alex's Harvard Yard/Square dog walking route to be grinning with happiness.  Yet people did not seem any happier than usual.  To explain this phenomenon it is necessary to turn to TIME magazine's January 17, 2005 "The Science of Happiness" issue.  According to TIME, "sunny days [do not make us happy though] a 1998 study showed that Midwesterners think folks living in balmy California are happier and that Californians incorrectly believe this about themselves too."

Friends and family make people happy as does "contributing to the lives of others" (tough for folks in Vero Beach, FL given that it is tough to find anyone within a gated community facing a more important decision than whether to play golf or tennis).  When asked "do you often do any of the following to improve your mood?", TIME's own poll revealed that 38 percent of women checked off "playing with pet"; only 18 percent checked "have sex".  As the favored pet among America's ladies is the cat, from this we can conclude that cats are more satisfying to women than men are.

Furry Robot Cats and Chrome Robosapiens


Furry Robot Cats and Chrome Robosapiens 08/30/2004 11:40 AM
Don't want a robot dog? Sega is introducing a fur-covered robot cat with the odd name of "near me". From the photos it looks a bit like robot zombie cat but it's an improvement over last year's Omron Necoro robot cat which looked like it had been hit by a truck. Even better than fur-bearing robots, Sharper Image has announced a special edition Robosapien available in chrome or metallic blue. Both versions include Mark W. Tilden's signature tattooed on the leg.
