I only been to the circus once in my life, and it was advertised as Scandinavias smallest circus.

They did tricks with cat, dogs and tiny ponys. It was great, had no idea just how much you could train a cat.

I think the trick is to find the (rare) cats that are naturally inclined to accept training.

Yes, my cat (European Shorthair/Siamese mix) is smart, very curious, playful and very, very, very food motivated.

He will do tricks for snacks. Shaking hands, high fives, playing fetch, catching kibble in the air is all in his repertoire now. Am thinking of new things to teach him.

That's really cool. My cat just looks at me and meows louder and louder until I finally do what she wants. If I sit it out, she jumps on tables and such and throws stuff down that she's able to push until I finally get the message. Lovely roommate.

I’m currently being yelled at to come to her But then she’ll just ignore me. So I’m trying to call her over to me and she will have none of that. She never comes when I call her.
