Meanwhile

In Rupert Can Dance, Mandy, the dancer in Feiffer's Village Voice cartoons as a young girl, and her cat Rupert discover a shared passion. From the front flap:

"Mandy loved, loved, loved to dance.
She danced all day long, every minute she could.

What Mandy didn't know was that once she fell asleep,
Rupert, her cat, put on her dancing shoes and danced,
danced, danced till morning.

But one night Mandy woke up and caught Rupert in the act.
And this changed them both forever."
