The Catman of Key West

This is for all of you out there who think that cats cannot be trained. I found the web site of Dominique and his flying household cats. If you will be visiting Key West in the near future, you can see their show at sunset each day.

Here's what the Boston Globe wrote about the show:

The "lions," of course, are his tiny domestic cats, with names like Sara, Sharky, and Piggy. Together·, Dominique and his kitties offer a unique show that's as sensational as it is silly. Sometimes the cats charge out of their cages, then leap up to Dominque's tall circus stands, or onto the Frenchman himself. Sometimes they execute jumps, skips, and turns, or leap through flaming hoops, eliciting ooohs and aaahs from the packed circle of onlookers. Sometimes the cats do absolutely nothing at all. In which case, Dominique, a well-seasoned ham with a flair for theatrics, performs figurative headstands while waiting for them to do their stuff.
