Russian-born Gregory Popovich, formerly with the Moscow Circus, has created an adorable show called Comedy Pet Theater, featuring a cast of talented cats and dogs, now running at the V Theater in Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas. You may remember them from the second season of America’s Got Talent when they were one of the top 20 contestants.

Popovich has rescued all of the animals from shelters and trained them to do amazing tricks. Ordinary house cats can be seen jumping hurdles, climbing tall posts and balancing on thin beams. One even catches a ride on the back of a dog.

Watch the video for clips from the show and learn how Gregory Popovich has very patiently trained these talented kitties.
