Excerpt from:
My favorite act is still the Catman of Key West. His real name is Dominique Lefort, and if you’ve never seen him or his “flying house cats” before, you’ll swear he’s just cracked a box of psychedelic mushrooms (his French accent also makes him sound rather eccentric). Whether the fabulous felines are leaping through fiery hoops or being urged to “Hurry up, take your time,” LeFort makes herding cats look easy. |
“Well, but they love to play. And they love to tease!” LeFort said with a laugh. “I pick the cats by the fact that they wag their tail when they are little ones because they are more alert. Chopin is my most intelligent. When he looks at you and he turns like this, he is trying to understand what is going on in your mind. He really is an amazing cat.” |
