An Evening With the Acro-Cats

March 10, 2014 By: Sparkle Cat44 Comments

The Acro-Cats have been in our town for a couple of weeks, and my human finally was able to break away from everything she is doing to see them! The last time they were here was two years ago so she was really excited.

This is Nue!

This trip to Los Angeles has not been the best for them. On opening night, their SUV was vandalized and a $2000 fiberglass replica of the show’s star, Tuna, was badly damaged. I snagged this image off the troupe’s Facebook page — isn’t that disgusting?

Post by Tuna and The “Rock-cats”.

But that did not keep the cats down! They have continued to wow audiences throughout their run, and they will be doing more shows around California and the western United States for the next few months. You can see their upcoming schedule here.

My human brought her camera to the show she attended, of course. The Acro-Cats welcome photographers.

This is Buggles!

That does not mean that she got good pictures, though! She has lots of photos of blurry cats because the performers were always in motion!

Binga only wishes she could jump through hoops so well!

I bet I could do this! Just not in public.

This was a show stopper!

Kitties walked on balls!

Prepping for her performance!

This is Jax!

There was even dinner! Oops, I mean, a chicken performer.

I still think she looks tasty

And of course — the Rock-Cats!

They were having some guitar issues

And as always, Tuna played cowbell.

She always plays MORE cowbell!

You want to know the best part of the show? It’s not all the awesome tricks, total cuteness or the purple props — it’s that all the feline performers are rescued cats. And the troupe’s head human, Samantha Martin, fosters. In fact, she has some month-old kittens on the road with her right now. They will probably be adoptable by the time they hit the northern West Coast. If the Acro-Cats come to your town, make sure you see them!

    That’s terrible that some jerky person would vandalize the Acro-Cats stuff. What is wrong with some people?

    We are glad your human got to experience them again — what a treat!

    We’d love to see them! But there are thousands of miles between us. We did check the schedule to see if they were in Vegas during the week of BlogPaws, but it wasn’t meant to be. Maybe they will come east sometime. We know their kitties are all rescues and that is just awesome!

    This looks like so much fun to see in person! Sorry we missed them when they were in Boston. I can’t believe someone did that to their vehicle 🙁 but like true cats…the show must go on and it looked like it was PAWSOME. I wish Wubbikins could play the cowbell. On second thought…

    we have heard of this from tv and was wondering if they go on tour. thanks for the tip sparkle. we’ll keep our eyes out for them when they come our way.

    btw, we received the treats over the weekend. but the humans said we can’t have them just yet. apparently she’s going to set up the treat eating so she can blog about it. thanks a bunch!

    Amazing!! Who says cats can’t be trained! But maybe the humans were trained to set up the trick so the cats could do it. LOL Loved the photos.

    I’ve never heard of the Acrocats! But they look fantastic and super talented. Too bad about the vandalism though…some people suck. I’m going to have to check and see if they’re going to ever be near us!

    How fun. The calico and black & white look just like our Lily and Lisbeth. We can’t imagine trying to train either of them to do any tricks no matter how many treats were offered. Mom wishes she still lived on the West Coast so she could see the show. Purrs and paw-pats, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

    How awesome is that, that the cats are all rescues? Pretty amazing. Ditto the comment that it would take a lot of patience (and love…and maybe a lot of treats too–lol) to train them.

    That is so terrific. Sparkle, your Mom is so lucky to see them. That is just amazing what they do. And what a wonderful thing for those rescued cats get to do. And look how well they have their humans trained. Take care and have a good day.

    How absolutely amazing. I just wish they could visit here as I’d love to see them. Cats are amazing and can be trained, to a degree(!) but they totally work on trust rather than blind loyalty so for rescue cats to develop that trust says something very special.

    We were so surprised that the cats were rescued and it must have taken extra patience to get them to do all those things like walking on a ball. Amazing.
