“Mr. Polydactyl Cat” by Levitation Room sounds like some kind of 1960s garage rock lounge song and surreal enough on its own. But the video with a human-sized cat in a suit and early in the video bogarting a joint only to run to escape and get hit by a car and knocked right into animated cat Heaven?In that section we see the cat as can of cat food and the full range of cat evolution. But hey, guess what? Our scallywag hero wakes up and makes off with the car like a boss who discovers a bag of cash on the front seat. And gold coins. Some cats merely have nine lives, this cat is luckier than that until he wrecks the car on someone’s lawn and collapses on his porch. But maybe it was all the musings of the cat at the end of the video watching a mysterious being on television calling him back to the homeworld. What is the exact nature of Mssr. Polydactyl Cat? Is it just the extra toes that gives him the preternatural ability to dodge out of trouble like an interdimensional trickster traveler? We may never find out but maybe Levitation Room will clue us into more of the hijinks when its album Headspace comes out on Oct 4, 2019 through Greenway Records.
