Cat Dancers (HBO)

This is bloody awful, I didn't know what I was getting into, I thought it was going to be fur and giggles. It was just so tragic, the three Ron and Joy Holiday and Chuck Lizza, train wild cats to do tricks etc. And are also in a unorthodox sexual but apparently very happy relationship with one another. One dies when one of the white siberian tigers gets frightened, accidentally ripping his throat leaving the other two grief stricken. Joy, the lady, becomes depressed and through a strange incident also gets killed by the same tiger. I'm pretty sure she wanted to die. The tiger ends up being inbred which explains its violent tendencies after so much training. But tragically leaving Roy, who later has his land taken away from him which means he's forced to put down his remaining cats. And these animals are gorgeous, it is quite impressive how relaxed they are when they handle them, I felt quite envious, only a few remarkable people are given that opportunity and in this case they made it for themselves.


fucking hell, I was in tears, it was quite difficult not to like the guy, he was pretty camp, candid, thoughtful and clearly in a lot of pain, and can you believe he was 70.
