  • WOW!!!! What great cats!!!

  • just respect them and do not use them!

  • this happens only in one place.... SOVIET RUSSIA!!!!

  • If the cat is elderly with arthritis and can't climb in the cat box you may want to fix up other arrangements. If the cat is mad at you because you don't love it, it will pee on the floor. If the cat loves you and pees on the floor, it is because of insecurity and wants to mark the territory so it feels safer. In that case you will assist the cat by putting "rescue remedy" drops into his water dish or in the wet cat food. Never raise your hand to an animal and you will gain a lot of trust.

  • Internet Fuel

  • DAM that is amazing

  • Just because they "look" healthy and happy, don't assume that means there isn't abuse. That's like saying because a child is well fed and seems happy there's no way she could be abused at home. The accusations of abuse against the circus are things that would never show physically and wouldn't register as abuse because they are trained since birth.They're performing cats, they can't have them looking unhealthy or unhappy.

  • @Cheekss1825 If you know the fist thing about cats, you know you can't make a cat do anything.

    These cats obviously want to do what they are doing. Otherwise they wouldn't do it!!

    I LOVE seeing the joy these cats are portraying!!

  • BRILLIANT

  • This is brilliant!

    I trained my cat to sit and lay and stand on it's back feet and that was quite hard! But this is amazing!

  • Tulsa's Hottest New Theatre!

  • As a cat owner, I'm amazed. Training our cats to do what we want instead of what they want and have trained us to do for them would be a huge consciousness challenge. I have always maintained that cats can't be trained!!!! Now I'll have to change that to "cats can be trained but only if they want to be trained!"

  • In America, cat trains you!

  • He Did already...

  • This guy should go on America's got talent.

  • i believe that these cats were very well taken care of. cats go by their instincts. i've seen abused cats and they looked nothing like these cats. if these circus cats were abused, they wouldn't be rubbing themselves up on the people. they'd be running away from them instead. that's how cats roll. i've had cats since i was 5 or 6 years old and i'd like to think that i now understand how cats think.. :D

  • This circus is not associated with cruelty. The cats are their livelihood and to have healthy cats is most important for the show. In fact, I'm betting that a few sleep with the handlers. They aren't lions. I'm a cat trainer and the cats love every bit of it.

  • OJALA VENGAN A LIMA PRONTO!... I ♥ CATS

  • This circus is associated with cruelty, just see the timeforchange information about Kuklachev. It will break your heart.

  • Comment removed

  • I had read alot of blogs about how these cats were abused.. but as a cat owner myself- I see big, bright eyes, tails straight up, etc.. these cats appear to be very very happy to me.

  • @Freshbrood or conditionned. if u think about it what incentive do they use so that cats do these very elaborate tricks...me im thinking pain

  • Lol that was a good show. My cat is starting to get the hoop trick done but I have a long way to go before I can even get him to do when he isnt hungry for a treat XD.

  • I really enjoyed watching that...

  • Awesome, thanks.

  • GAAAAWWWWW WOOK AT ALL THE WITTLE KITTEHS!!!!!

  • Pretty cool theatre! We recently performed Jennifer Haley's Neighborhood 3 - Requisition of Doom, I've posted the videos on my profile if your interested. Cheers!

  • cats are gay

  • @atakan5909 What a silly thing to say.

  • @TheAlabasterSlim ha my cat is clean from the first day on....you have to clean the cat toilette everyday perhaps two times a day ;)

  • Well for all the sceptics out there... guess you don't need any more proof than this. Atheists 0 cathaholics 1

    God doesn't send much clearer messages than this and if you still dont believe... get a fucking grip we have science to prove things like this now.

    No more need be said

    So dont say anything more

    Its all been said

    And i'll tell you that for free

    richard dorkins 0 christova hitachins 5(+1) LBW (L = ITS, B = ALL BEEN, W = SAID)

  • @romanianskill what....are you actually trying to say that this cat circus is proof of god? O_O

  • @kawaiiqiao eeeeerm like... yah?

  • @romanianskill God is a silly subject to discuss on a cat video's comment board, but honestly, you're saying science can prove the existence of God? That's a heap of rubbish. Science in no way supports any mythological creature...

  • @FriendlyShadow1 obviously you missed the amazing feats of impossible genious gifted to this cat BY THE G-O-D! if god isn't real then how could we be here? it's simple maths, god = 3 (god, father, holey sun and ghost aka spirit god) and we equal 1 and the universe = 6000 (aka in years?) so 3 + 1 + - / x = 6000f.... debunk that athiest idiots.... read em an weap richard dorkings.

    1up on the scoreboard to religion

    score so far- religion 6000f, athiests 0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    eat my shorts....

  • @romanianskill Probably anyone reading this will know that your comment, being so silly, merits no reply. But I will do so anyway out of consideration for you, as I was once a silly creationist as well. That isn't scientific in the least. Those are just arbitrary numbers that you see because you want to see them. It doesn't even make sense, and the universe is quite a bit older than 6000 years. You seem very insecure, insulting Dawkins (as if he'd care) and telling me to eat your shorts.

  • @FriendlyShadow1 you used to be a creationist?! hHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH! what an idiot, if you read through my comments you will see that they are obviously ridiculous jokes, you are so dull in the mind that you failed to see that. i was actually taking the piss out of creationists irrational thinking... i was actually taking the piss out of you. idiot.

  • @romanianskill You had me convinced that you are a creationist, because many of them really say things like that. And I am content to talk with a creationist, but not with someone with such an uncivil demeanor as you have just displayed. Incivility is as toxic to society (and the individual) as creationism.

  • @FriendlyShadow1 satire is toxic to society? you're just angry because you didn't get it, but that's ok, you used to believe there was a big giant man who made everything for some reason, you're obviously not right in the head.

    "god = 3 (god, father, holey sun and ghost aka spirit god) and we equal 1 and the universe = 6000 (aka in years?) so 3 + 1 + - / x = 6000f.... " it was at this point you should have realized it was a joke...

  • look at all those cats

  • pussies will rule the world

  • Do you really think a cat likes been told what to do?No. Its abuse and anyone who think this is ethical is ignorant. This is disgusting. He says he uses love but thats bullocks. Anyone can give there cats 'love' but that does not mean they will obey you. Interestingly enough youtube doesn't let me post a link. The website time for change will tell you all about it. Or type in google moscow cat theatre abuse.

  • @KarinaJ1989 you're lame. this shits cool. and you don't know that they abuse the cats. they could have like a cat mansion for all of them. and give them lots of toys. and fancy feast. so calm the fuck down.

  • @jessicavannote Um you don't know that they don't abuse cats. Have you tried researching it? In Iran they are trying to ban them from touring in their country again and same in germany. Theres face book petitions and other petitions online. Do your research before calling me lame.

  • @KarinaJ1989

    Not to make you feel any smarter, but why the hell would anyone care what Iran does and does not ban in their country? Next time use a better country to try and prove your point, because that example is terrible and holds no merit. Where women are abused daily and you're worried about hem banning a cat circus....good grief.

  • @Jokaell Sorry i did actually mean to type Israel. . .

  • Where did you get the music? I love it.

  • Meanwhile, in normal Russia.

  • atleast your cats wont turn off the tv!!

  • Anyone else notice the amazing lengths cats will go for food?

  • About video this cats wont do what they cant do and you people can be sure they wont do that if they werent well treated but lots of cats :D even millions of people watchin just cat sleeping videos :D

  • OMG PAUSE AT 1:06

    ITS THE ORIGINAL LOLCAT!

  • In Soviet Russa, kitteh katz do tricks

  • they are treated well and are cared for, cant you tell? they rub up against the ppl wanting more love, theyre well fed by the looks of and if they didn't want to do it they wouldn't, cats do what they want. Can i get an AMEN!?

  • @THE00SHINY00 Absolutely. Couldn't agree more.

  • @THE00SHINY00 absolutely,i've owned cats all my life and i know for sure that u can't force them to do what they don't want to do.not even with force

  • @THE00SHINY00 AMEN!!!

  • O_O

  • i like it, just wish those cats are happy

  • i like it, but wish those cats are well treated and cared if

  • WTF did they promise the kittens in return?! World domination? Human enslavement?

  • i think i missed my calling!!!

  • That's really cool!

    The cats look so happy getting to mess around on a stage with owners who love to be around them.

    :)

  • Cats... obeying commands..? I think my mind just imploded... I can't even teach my cat to stop crapping on the floor, while these guys are walking tightropes and juggling and flying and God knows what else! They must be bribing these cats, or maybe they're secretly cat whisperers or something. And yes, I'll agree that this Maria girl is quite the looker.

  • ALL OF YOU WHO SAY CATS ARE DUMB COMPARED TO DOGS....EAT THIS VIDEO!

  • This is... SO AWESOME!

  • I'll bet the training isn't pretty.

  • I just want my cat to stop pissing on the floor.

  • @TheAlabasterSlim

    Clean the catbox every now and then... Or do what I did. Teach your cat o go outside and come back.

  • @TheAlabasterSlim Your cat has a physical problem, take him to the vet. Most cats have urinary incontinence as they get older, not unlike many humans.

  • This has to be CGI. No one can train a cat. NO ONE.

  • @MrMuddToYou

    It's a compromise, the cat allows you to live and see some of the cool stuff they can do in exchange for food, fame, and a warm home kept at exactly 75.6 degrees.

  • @MrMuddToYou I trained my Lil Shebes to fetch and to climb me without clawing me (clothes on) ... It's all about rapport, and getting them young. You can do it.

  • Yeah, the tricks are cool and stuff, but that girl is hella cute. That's what really got my attention in this video.

  • Daughter's hot!

  • @Andrexthor Totally

  • I can only imagine how their house smells.

  • when that cat jumped down from that high the cat trusts the owners so i guess its not abuse

  • Don't let peta know about this!!!!!

  • I suppose the backstage gossip COULD get a little.... catty!

  • @SwankyCub ZING!

  • Wow--I loved this video and watched many times getting ideas for my own (100% positively trained!) performing cat. Another comment mentioned searching on "cruelty at the Moscow Cat Circus," and they're right. I found out the cats are "trained" through choking and burning their feet, as verified by their vet. Every female is forced to have a litter, and when cats are no longer needed for the act, they're euthanized. I have no more love for the MCC.

  • I am a cat lover and anyone like me knows that a cat does not obey orders from an abuser.

    Thanks Yuri for this magical show.

  • @Mondbaerchen The Moscow Cat Theatre treats their cats very well, they're like part of the family. There's not any sort of abuse in any way, I bet they're even enjoying it.

  • BOYCOTT THE MOSCOW CAT CIRCUS! The abuse and cruelty that goes on in this circus has finally been revealed. Dont believe me? Google: "Cruelty at the Moscow Cat Theatre".

  • Este adiestramiento se logra con una disciplina pero por sobre todo con MUCHO AMOR, éllos responden a quien mucho los ama. Hacen cosas increibles por amor-

    Si este vínculo no existiera, los gatitos serian rebeldes no obedecerían. Felicito a los maestros sovieticos. Lina

  • ive just seen a you tube video about the cruelty to the animal in a circus.......i really love cats and i really hope the trainers are treating them as they say.......im afraid of not knowing there side of the story.....i sure hope the trainer is saying the truth

  • i kind of feel bad for the cats.

    but they're so awesome. * O*

  • Those cats traded in their dignity for sheer awesomeness.

  • Wow so many opinions :-).... almost as amazing as the cats tricks.

  • Showtime does look pretty innocent -.-

  • theses cats are obviously in constant anxiaty during the show. Notice how the trainer holds the cats tail when he walk down the thin line - so the knows that if he falls, he will be hanged by his tail (It hurts!)

    the same method is applied when the black cat is is walking on his forehands - she supports him by holding a finger to his groin. During the show this is sufficient, but during training - which is a complete secret (I wonder why!) - they would squeeze his balls to encourage him to move

  • @pinkasey

    que ganas de decir boludeces yanki. Si fueran irakies no decías nada.

  • poor cats...

  • I have trained my cats and doing tricks is the high point of their day!

    Besides, I would rather have a hungry cat than a fat cat!

    Check my cats at Wehojoshua on youtube. You can tell that they are happy and healthy.

  • Cats wouldn't do things like this if they didn't think it was fun. You can tell that they are enjoying themselves. :P

  • They don't think this is fun, they are just hungry :'(

  • They're healthy looking cats to me.

  • While I am against circuses in general, I don't feel that a cat circus is hurting the animals, unless of course the animals are obviously being abused. From what I see here, these cats love what they do, and I'm sure they're treated very well for it.

  • caritochoa--

    The cats seem to enjoy it!

    Not every cat is cut out to be a performer, no more then any human is; cats love us just as much as we love them.

  • Thees is why we do not kake eating ov cat in Russia. Not even meat cat usually.

  • dear sfdgrsfgberbesrt, I'm ready to chop off my breasts, I'm less likely to get breast cancer. How many poor unneutered cats are you responsible for? You seem a little too concerned with their sexuality. The males don't make good pets, they are all hormonal and pee everywhere and fight. Females in heat are miserable and they'll keep cycling into heat until they are bred. Both females and males are healthier and live longer if they are neutered. You sound like you would too.

  • Lol, but you're not thinking about their feelings!

    What a great video, a well deserved 5 stars!

  • que lindo. Esapero que no hayan sido maltratados al entrenarlos...

  • all cats should be that well exercised

  • i think that the guy should spay and neuter all of the cats, and instede of waiting for the next litter, adopt cats from the russian animal shelter or teach strays becasue every day a lot of cats die becasue no one wants them and he is just waiting for new kittens to teach.

  • a good point

  • But I expect he has to start the training almost immediately.

  • @saratasic oh, shut up

  • @saratasic

    Cat =/= Dog

    Training a cat is -very- difficult, and has to be done from a really early age. Its about trust and recognition in a way that is nearly impossible to do even with adoption age kittens. Friends of mine run a shelter and having spent a lot of time around newborns (they often get in pregnant strays) the difference between a stray kitten's behavior and one that's been with their owner since birth is -totally- different.

  • Wonderfull!!,Cats are truly Fabulous

  • Comment removed

  • me encantaron los gatitos pero odio ke trabajen con animales sabra dios como los obligan a aser ese tip de cosasy lo ultimo pobres gatitos para mi ke tubieron ke subrir mucho para poder aser eso por eso mala calificacion a este video malditos T_T pobres animalitos

  • oh q lindos gatos (=^.^=)

  • Klacno! I love this video! Its very cute too!

  • Ridiculously adorable and cool.

  • This is SO CUTE!! I can't believe they can train cats to do these things!! Amazing!!

  • Love cats! This would be, indeed, a great job. This and working at the cat-café in Osaka.

  • Cats are Gods

  • haha awesome

  • it wasn't until 2:34 that I realised that she actually has a nice pair of tits

    but then again the cats are funny

  • OMG-Ddesse!

    The chubycheeked Russian Blue is overly cute!!!

  • is a grey british short hair

    not a russian blue

    get that into ur head

  • This has to be the coolest job on the planet.

    "So what do you do?"

    "Oh, I own a cat circus."

    "OMGWTF"

  • Lol I lol'd hard

  • Notice he's saying it while he's playing a character in the theatre performance, not part of the interview. That's probably one of the messages of the show.

  • That's awesome!

  • I wanna be the cat in 2:12 !!! WEEEE!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @EnclosedSilence hahah yeah thats so awesome

  • Whoaa. I didn't know they could do that... amazinggg.

  • Arguing on the internet is so productive! and in the stack of comments on a video about cat tricks?? priceless.

    I can't even bring myself to scroll down and see how this crap started.

    Great video!

  • translation to English is way off

  • Чудесно!!!

  • NOtice how many of these cats were siamese?

    Speeking as a former compainion of a 'meezer I can say they're some of the mos inteltgent kities I've ever expeirenced sharing time with.

  • Seeing your writing, I can't say that is a very ringing endorsement for the intelligence of Siamese cats.

  • Oh what a biting and scathing rebuke. I am so wounded I must kill myself forthwith.

    Nice trolling. Now let's see you comment coherently when you haven't slept in over 20 hours.

  • I wouldn't comment if I couldn't comment coherently. This is just evidence that you lack quality judgment and therefore still not a ringing endorsement for the intelligence of Siamese cats.

  • And I'm going to show my judgment here. STFU please.

    And I'm just going to ignore anything else you have to say.

  • You first post complete nonsense, then reply with sarcasm and a very poor excuse for the nonsense, then tell the world you're showing judgment by responding consistently with what you've called a troll. I'm not making you look stupid. You are.

  • Screw PETA.

  • When the cat jumps from that high in the air and the girl catches her.. how AWESOME IS THAT?!

    That's absolute trust there. The woman trusts the cat will jump on the platform (and not on her head) and the cat trusts that she will catch him when he jumps. You have to spend a LOT of time with an animal to establish that kind of trust

  • What is the name of the background music?

  • It's Traditional from The Russian Folk Ensemble Balalaikia .

    Best

  • @zoemou7 the song is called "valenki", though this sounds like a more faster version played with a balalaika

  • Thanks a bunch! (To both of you.)

  • If these perfomers ever came to Canada or the USA they would a lot of money

  • They would also have PETA throwing a fit, even though these cats are obviously well cared for.

  • @SailorV85 That's PETA's problem.

  • @hollywoodhottie19 no offence but why would they want to come to america? theres nothing for them here. they will prob make 10 times the money in europe than in america.

  • I saw this show, and it was funny, cute and well choreographed. I should have bought a T-Shirt though.

  • If I went to see that in person, my head would probably explode into candy! XD

  • Another little known attraction of the Moscow Cat Theater: The last known functioning crimping iron!

    Very enjoyable and yes the daughter is quite attractive :).

    5 stars.

  • man that was so awesome i love cats!

  • what a show; so many cute cats with (I must respectfully add) such a lovely and talented daughter - hope a DVD is forthcoming...

  • Way cool! I can't believe that cat jumped at the end!

  • so much win

  • id love to see this one day!

  • I can't believe they can actually train them. Those Russians are really something when it comes to their animals.

  • Aw that was a complement even to me! First of all, Im Russian, second of all, when I now this girl persinaly and can tell her whatever you think about her!

  • i was going to see them last april but the show was cancelled.

  • I wish they would put this on DVD. but they haven't because I haven't been able to find one

  • Очень люблю кошек!!! They're amazing. =D

  • Mooi filmpje.

    Zo zie je maar dat katten intelligent zijn en dat mag gezien worden.

  • Say this show in Vegas.

    Excellent.!!

    The daughter lost weight and is even finer looking.

    After the show they sign autographs and you can pet her,,, ahhh,,, kitty.

  • LOL xD awesome!
