 The Amazing Acro-Cats circus cats of Chicago will be celebrating
Christmas (or "Catmas") by jumping through wreaths, rolling an
ornament, pushing a sleigh and performing an array of other seasonal
tricks.There will also be a special appearance by the Rock Cats
playing seasonal carol selections such as "A Cat in a Manger,"
"Catnip Roasting on an Open Fire" and "God Rest Ye Merry Kittens."
These special performances have a holiday twist on what has
already proven to be a fun-filled and one-of-a-kind show for
audiences and cat lovers of all ages. Watch these "not so ordinary"
Santa's kittens disprove the notion that "cats can't be trained," as
they perform a variety of Christmas-themed tricks.
The festive felines all live with Ms. Martin, owner of Amazing
Animals by Samantha. The little "Kat Kringles" spend their days
playing and training in rooms converted from a human's habitat into
a cat playground of props, perches and platforms. Most of the Acro-Cat
performers are former shelter kitties that Martin has adopted and
clicker-trained, a method that uses only positive reinforcement.
Martin and her Acro-Cats have worked with several animal
shelters. She has routinely fostered cats and helped them find the
right home.
The Acro-Cats have appeared in international documentaries, on
TMZ, BBC, PBS, Pet Star and Animal Planet.
