Spinning Cats

Introducing, the fine and noble sport of cat-spinning. It is a performance-oriented team sport, consisting of the cat, who spins, and the facilitator, who assists in the spinning motion.

There are multiple subsets of rules. The two main versions are known as the "chair" version, and the "floor" version.

Zayna as the cat and a human of her choice as the facilitator are demonstrating these two versions in the video below.



Zayna has all the features of a champion cat for cat-spinning. Two of those enviable qualities are long fur to reduce floor friction for the floor type of cat-spinning and the ability to attract a qualified facilitator.

As not one of the top cat-spinning players myself, I am hardly qualified to judge the performance, but from my humble view, I would give this team an 8. They do very well at keeping the spin, but the motions are somewhat jerky. More fluidity could catapult this team straight to the pinnacle of the cat-spinning world.
