John, prepare to catch hell.
Yup, feed them fish and they will follow you anywhere.
who did say that?
these arent the most impressive tricks tho
# 3. I don’t believe for a second that the cat at the end twirled that fire stick around with his feet. If a cat could really do that, it would be more impressive if they wouldn’t turn off the lights so quickly.
Put those sea kittens back in the water!
@4 HUH? u never been to circus or something? Bears do that, dogs etc. Whats so different about a cat? Its a show thats why lights out. Its not a magic show where illusionist hides his trick.
Thanks for cancelling out all that PETA crap! Really, thanks. 😀
At the end of the last trick they take some kind of tiny pole from the cat. Looks like it was resting on the cat’s belly, perpendicular to the fire stick.
Probably some kind of helicopter device so the cat can spin the firestick while not actually ‘balancing’ it with its paws.
It may be balancing that little pole, though.
Still extremely impressive.
Oh jeez, the ‘helicopter’ pole is on a strap that snaps to the sides of the box, holding the cat in place.
Still, to get a cat that close to fire…
Very cool, saw everything except the fire twirl live when the Moscow Cats Theatre was in NYC 🙂
I tried to do that fire-stick thing with my cat, and after the bandages came off he looks like Mr. Bigglesworth.
Notice that each cat can do exactly one trick.
My cat can do all those tricks too.
He just doesn’t want to.
Not cats. Miniature Siberian tiger, product of superior Soviet scientific.
Russians will pay for ANY entertainment.
Where was the guy in the stands selling vodka?
Those cats are obviously STATISTS. Since they are from Russia they are also probably STALINISTS.
Cats were cool but would have been better if one attacked the little boy in the front row who wouldn’t stop opening and closing the seat next to him… crowd near him would have applauded wildly…..
Absolutely purrrrfect. (ducks, hides)…LOL!!
yeah exactly… great stuff. no matter if cats (or bears, dogs, lions whatever – you name it-) like to do it. that’s the way it is in RUssia. They do, what people want to see, not taking care if the creature likes it or not.
Yeah, I know. I am one of those PETA guys, huh? This is fucking bad stuff, I personally hate this Russian circus crap and the people who promote it
#13 LOL
Pretty lame, Milhouse…
Do fool your self sir. I think it’s apparent that the cats trained them. It’s the cats performing with the humans fetch their props for them to do their feats of agility and balance.
Since the days of the Interstate and the combustion engine, it’s the only way cats can travel the world safely these days.
Wow… Angela from “The Office” really let herself go…
I can’t even my cat to stop scratching my couch.
Cat – the other white meat.
Actually I love cats. They sit around when they get older because they burnt themselves out as kittens. Just a data point though, if you die in a room with a cat and the cat gets hungry – it will eat you. Dogs won’t do that.
I’d like to see that chick do some tricks.
I was especially impressed by the thunderous applause at the end.
Me Likey!!!
I am not a peta lover in the least (hate them in fact). But it is well know in the “Russian” circus they use electric prods etc to train these cats (bears too), absolutely disgusting.
Those aren’t cats, they’re “Land Fish”.
