Moscow Cat Theatre

Directed by Marilyn Agrelo. You'€™ll be hard-pressed to find a more unusual circus, or father-daughter performing duo. The Moscow Cat Theatre is just that: a travelling show of cats that perform amazing tricks for the owners who love and train them. Everybody in Russia may be used to seeing cats perform tricks, as the theatre’s manager explains in this funny, charming film, but felines walking tightropes, crossing the stage on giant balls and walking upside down is not a common sight in most countries. As balalaika and accordion circus score plays in the background, Creative Director Vladimir and daughter Maria combine their love of cats and stage to create a captivating act and illustrate the tricks of the trade – giving new meaning to the expression '€˜herding cats'€™.

@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!!

@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.

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.

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

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.
