These books are some of the creepiest most messed up things I have ever seen. They are all by the same two people, Burton Silver & Heather Busch. For whatever reason, they are located in the “Humor” section at the store. But they are anything but funny. In fact, to me, they seem twistedly serious with a vengeance.

As you might guess, “Dancing with Cats” is about, well, just that. Its full of pictures of seemingly utterly insane people dancing around with their cats, while wearing absurd costumes. Sometimes the cats wear costumes too. And then text is all about becoming one with feline consciousness and energies and stuff. Totally crazy, and it just gives you this really sick feeling in the pit of your stomach.

“Why cats paint” is weird, but not as weird. Its just a bunch of pictures of cats painting pictures, and of the pictures they painted. It’s like all seriously written, but seems more intentionally jokey. I guess. I don’t know. I don’t know what to make of it all.

“Why Paint Cats” really took the cake, in my eyes, for the most messed up torturous of all three of the books. Its basically a book full of pictures of people who somehow apply paint to the bodies of their cats, to make them look all weird. Its totally fucking weird looking, and we leafed through it really quickly, because we were both really weirded out by it. Anyway, the last page of the book, was a picture of a cats butt, with its tail pointing in the air, and all around the cat’s butt was painted this bust of a man. it was just such an abomination. It really left a messed up jumble of crap in my mind afterwards, and sort of spaced me out.
