I think I saw this at the circus in Moscow about 10 years ago. It was fantastic! It made up for a lot of things I didn't care for. I'm sure these cat were trained with lots of food and other positive reinforcement.
Impressive! Cats are very hard to train and these felines were obviously given extensive training that probably took many years. You can see how receptive they are to their trainers. They know what to do and are aware of the rewards they'll get for a job well done. Hats off to these two! They care deeply for their cats. :)
Whoaa impressive! For anyone saying this is animal cruelty, from what im seeing, they are being threated with respect and cats look like theyre enjoying the show too! their body language looked to me, excited to do some action! They also look healthy! I say, instead of them to be at home just getting fat and not doing a thing, being part of this show can be beneficial for them! =D
Hello, I am a veterinarian specialized in cats, these cats are forced to perform these tasks, make them hungry and then during the circus function they are fed. Only you need to have a little empathy.
I'm going to say that the negative comments for the most part are from people who have never either A. Owned a cat or B. Trained a cat. Unlike many animals you cannot get them to put on a performance and do tricks by any sort of abuse. The only way to do it is through positive reinforcement (treats). You can't punish them in any way. I had a cat trained many years ago to do all sorts of tricks and he was a great leash walker too. These animals' body language says excited and alert and TREAT.
It just dawned on me why most of the cats are white...all white cats are often profoundly deaf from birth. The trainers are using visual and touch cues, and the cats probably can't hear all the music and crowd noise, which is why they are so calm and focused. Cat trainers will usually watch the cat to see what it does naturally, and then give it treats to do it again...and again. I did this with my cat...she decided to sit up and beg, like a dog, once, and I started giving her a command and a treat to do it again. Now she does "pretty please" with all enthusiasm, because she knows she'll get a treat for it. It was *her* idea at first. No mistreatment there. (The ones that run off stage at the end are probably "in training". They are being accustomed to the ring and audience, and allowed to "run away" to safety, which would be their natural first instinct. Once one gets used to it well enough to stop for a minute, out of curiosity, the trainers will know it is ready for further training.)
Wow! I really enjoyed reading your comment :-) it made a lot of sense and was very well written and informative. Thank you very much. I looked this cat circus up after watching it on The Travel Man with Richard Ayoade & Greg Davies in Moscow- very funny but I was curious as to whether the cats were enjoying this!! But I know from my own two cats- they don't do ANYTHING unless they WANT TO! He he!
Athena Wilson I worked for veterinarians for years, so I have to disagree with your statement about deafness in white cats. You can condition cats to tolerate the noise.
The cats are most likely deaf and are breed specifically to be deaf cats so that they can perform in shows. There is plenty of ample evidence to support this. Here is a source for starters en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_sensorineural_deafness_in_cats
To train a cat to do tricks takes a lot of time to build trust between the person and animal, cats by nature can be very skittish. any form of abuse wouldn't work on a house cat since there natural reaction is to run or flee form abuse. many times animals have shown with the right amount of love and trust animals can perform a lot of interesting tricks but its getting past the trust level and a lot of positive reinforcement to do a trick.
True story. All these are actually rescue kitties :) www.comedypet.com/aboutgreg.html It's not cruel at all. These cats love what they do. You can't "command" a cat to do anything, they only do it if they like you and they want to do it. This isn't animal abuse. This is just entertaining.
If you pay attention, you can see that the girl actually gives the cats back to the person behind stage, which implies that they keep swapping out different cats.
i agree with you, but considering the homeless and suffering cats around the world, if they can be adopted and trained humanely to do stuff like this and raise appreciation, maybe it can be a good thing.
cats do not respond to punishment based training. they only respond to positive reinforcement its the only way you can teach them. not to mention their tales looked like they were pretty happy.
BS I've had cats most of my life, and I can tell you that even if you leave food out for them all the time, giving them no reason to be hungry, it's not hard at all to get them interested in treats. Even if you just fed your cat you'll find that they become -incredibly- motivated if, say, a can of tuna comes out.
I wasnt talking about the beam, i was talking about that pole in the end that is lifted up around 15 ft in the air or more. Also, ive never heard of a cat falling 30 feet without being at least injured.
Abuse? The body language of these cats sure doesn't show that. Tails up, ears pointed forward, excited and attentive. They also look very well fed. Cats like different things. They may even have try outs for cats that seem more into it. One of my cats loves to be chased down hallways. It's her favorite game. My other cat, not so much. These cats seem pretty happy. I wouldn't call it abuse.
I love the way the cats run out from offstage like gladiators.
The greatest show on earth.
The best gladiators ever!!!
Кошки для больше друзья чем люди..! Кошки не предадут ни при каких обстоятельствах...!!!

животные вытворяют чудеса а мужики в доме ничего сделать не могут
Except for the high dive.
The speed of the tricks was too fast, the cats must be deadly tired afterwards

Слишком потребительски,котики их любят, надеюсь что и они их
The cats on the show are amazing.
I love watching domestic house cats doing tricks 'n' stuff; it's a lot cuter and way more endearing than watching lions and tigers.
WOW! This is AWESOME! I love this video. Such wonderful cats.
шикарное шоу
I like this show and music its remind me football World cup 98
Supertalent
отличный номер! а уж какой труд за этим стоит, кто бы знал.
I cant get enough of this!!!!!

Astute observation! I'll bet you're absolutely right. (I also bet you're surprised to see a reply to your comment from over a year ago. :D)

Мои ж вы умнички пушистые!
As long as the cats r having fun & not being mistreated im ok with this.
Yes
Cats are humans best friends, but love and friendship is free.
Nomer s Koshkami v ochen' bystrom tempe....mnogo triukov...

Agreed. Also, notice how the cats are munching through the show. They are getting soooo many treats.
Look at their tails rising up, they’re so happy!
This has got to be the most amusing thing ive seen in a long time.
It's very hard to train cats. If you look closely you can see the cats eating during several parts of the show.
Very Very Nice CAT Playing Show.
:) These cats are well treated for sure.

I never thought i would see the day a house cat had to work for its food xD
just narrate to yourself what the trainers are saying. It makes the video all that better.
Jeez, even the cats in Russia are gymnasts.
CAT: after this show I better be getting my golden sofa and that expensive caviar.
замечательно
I LOVE CATS SO MUCH THIS IS AWESOME I HOPE U DON'T ABUSE THEM!
They don't look abused at all
That was "Amazing".

Wow, A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall Lines up perfectly with this video on mute.
That cat has the dexterity of a young Stalin.
Impressive!

I know what you mean, I'm also not fearing for the trainers life every minute I'm watching :)
Um gracioso espetáculo!! Belos gatos

This should be made into a documentary.
Прикольно
I have a big, juicy, friendly tom and he's bored to tears; he'd LOVE to be doing this stuff.
this should be in every pre-nup
I totally agree with you but sadly most people don't see that.
Well I'm impressed
