Japanese photographer Hisakata Hiroyuki has created a wonderful photo series in which very playful cats reach for a fishing rod toy right above their head and in doings so, appear to be practicing defensive martial arts of some sort or perhaps performing the meditative movements of Tai Chi or maybe just dancing for joy. The toy is almost always kept out of shot, so as to show off the incredible grace and body strength of these amazing felines.
