There’s a theater in Russia where all the actors are cats


The Moscow Cat Theater is a traveling circus that showcases cats.
Creative  director Vladimir and his daughter, Maria, train the cats from birth. They have  one cat who continually has litters, yielding them an abundant amount of cats to  work with.
The circus travels around Russia showcasing cats walking on  tightropes, walking across the stage balancing on balls, and walking upside  down.
Vladimir says his wife hates all the cats running around, but he and his  daughter love them.
Maria learns under her father who trains the cats and comes  up with the tricks. Often times they simply get to know the cat, who does  something crazy, and they then train it to continue to do it.
In Russia, the cat theater is a common thing to see, but elsewhere it is very  rare. It is a common misconception that cats are not trainable, and this theater  just proves it’s wrong.

I would hate to have to train a cat. That is hard.
