How come animals don't dance?

[humpbackmaniac]

There I am working away when, The Clash comes on the radio "Rock the Casbar" so I get up and have a little jiggle round the home office.

Sam, my cat, is completely indifferent. Not even an appreciative nodding head. Do they not hear music or are they just not the dancing types? Cant be that cats dont like The Clash.

Are dogs different, I dont have one, but even so have never seen an actual dancing dog.





Humpback, not doing a great deal of work this afternoon.

I've seen plenty of dogs dancing on a Saturday night!

Cat's DO dance. They just do it in their heads.

so thats what they get up to in the Home office

Au contraire, we had a chicken that would only sing to Dean Martin or Sinatra. My little Jack Russell does back flips if we are dancing about like loons!

I don't think their brains are wired up for music. What is a 'beat' to you is probably just an irritating noise to them, like a pneumatic drill.

My dog (see profile pic) dances if he's particualrly happy about anything - imminet walks or a juicy bit of scran. He does a sort of jigging about on the spot and wiggles a bit. Very endearing.









He's also happy to wipe the floor with any dogs who upset him, like the two mastiffs last night...

Our lab will try his damnedest to slip you a portion if you dance about. There's not a lot of dancing done in our house now.

Animals don't dance because they know they look a fool when trying to.

Waste of time, should be banned and punishable by being deaded to death. Only allowed at weddings.

It's got to be the right music - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smKEfjNLUN8

Editted to add I meant my home office, not The Home Office, I dont imagine they are allowed cats in the work place and would hope James Bond types are not into the Clash. Sorry for confusion.

I believe the bird was dancing for it's life as there was an ak47 just to the right of it.

What is he? Looks like some sort of Doberman cross something? Nice hound though.

We got him from B'ham Dog's Home so we don't really know, but best guess is Rottie/Staffie cross. Certainly Staffie in there because of the brindle markings.

He's a great character and good with kids and pups, but can be very 'alpha' with other dogs.

Yep, vigorous, rapid, explosive, exuberant, but never dull. Needs plenty of excercise - which helps me to work the pies off.

That's not a real badger.

It's a penguin in disguise.
