WELCOME To The Wonderful World of Cat Waltzing
Are you a cat lady who is mysteriously drawn to music in 3/4 time?
Does your cat purr every time he hears the word Vienna?
When you hear the Boston Pops break into a Strauss waltz do you have the urge to pick up your cat and sashay about the living room?
Is "The Waltzing Cat" by Leroy Anderson (see below) always first on your play list?
Then you've come to the right place. Welcome to the information page for the Society for the Preservation and Advancement of Waltzing with Cats! You'll find music, dance instruction, Official Cat Waltzing Apparel,
my whimsical watercolor illustrations of some devoted Cat Waltzers, plus much, much more to enhance your Cat Waltzing experience.
Enjoy!

The PURR-fect Music For Cat Waltzing
"The Waltzing Cat" by Composer Leroy Anderson
This fun little waltz was the inspiration for this lens. It was written in 1950. Be sure to check out the oh-so-charming lyrics, which appear below...Singing out loud while waltzing is purely optional, but highly recommended. Your cat will adore you. Click on the arrow to play the waltz.

Lyrics To "The Waltzing Cat"
Written by Mitchell Parish
Many people don't know that there are lyrics to this waltz, written in 1950 by Mitchell Parish:There once was a tomcat, a wonderful tomcat,
who had all the usual faults,
But this cat was different, what made him so different
was his inclination to waltz.
Each night this feline Sir to his lady fair would purr:
(CHORUS)
I love to waltz (meow)
On a night like this with stars in the skies,
Come, let us waltz (meow)
While I look into your lovely green eyes.
I never knew what a little waltz could do,
Till the night I danced with you,
Lightly as a feather, let us pussy foot together,
I'd love to spend (meow) all my nine lives just waltzing with you.

My PURRsonal Favorite Tune For Cat Waltzing
Bink's Waltz by Scott Joplin
Most of you know Scott Joplin (1868 - 1917), black pianist and composer, as the King Of Ragtime. But did you know that he also wrote incredibly beautiful and wistful waltzes? They include: Bethena Waltz, Harmony Club Waltz , Pleasant Moments, and this one called Bink's waltz.

- I used to dance with the cats. I also made them some songs. Nobody else liked them, just the cats.
