This was amazing. Did anyone else watch this and was like totally completely amazed that they trained cats to perform like this?
I am so amazed!!!!! And, realize how bad my clicker training is really going...This was amazing. Did anyone else watch this and was like totally completely amazed that they trained cats to perform like this?
Sure they do. Lots of people have done it. Cats usually don't respond to things like shock collars; pain just makes them hide. Though I suppose it is possible for some people to find a way to make a cat perform using pain. That's very sad if the allegations are true. But cats are definitely capable of performing without being shocked or otherwise hurt.Cats don't perform like this unless they are being tortured.
hmmm sounds a bit like a conspiracy...The Savitsky cats are being cruelly treated with shock collars. If you watch closely, you can see them adjust the collar (voltage strength, how much they need to "shock" them, very apparent when the cat wanted to groom himself, voltage adjusted, and suddenly the cat is meowing wildly and doing the stupid dancing trick. You can see the remote device in the mom's back pocket. They are also holding a device hidden in their hands. The shock collars are disguised with bow ties around the cats neck. Cats don't perform like this unless they are being tortured. The Savitsky's are using old, outdated and outlawed zoo techniques to make the cats do unnatural things. Shock collars are deadly to cats. Probably why they now have a new brood of cats they are training. Very sad. This isn't talent, this act should be boycotted.
I watched the video three times in a row and I couldn't see any evidence of a shock collar. And I don't see anything of what C Casper's mom says. I don't see them adjusting the collar. You don't adjust the actual collars that go on the animal. I have e-collars for my dog. I use the vibration settings, not the shock setting, and you pick what you want to do and set the level of intensity on the remote. Nothing is adjusted on the collar. I also didn't see any part where the cat tried to groom himself and then "meowed wildly" .Is there evidence of the shock collars? I watched the video and saw almost no hesitation from the cats, and when the black cat jumped down they simply brought him back up to complete the trick. I didn’t see any indication that the cats were discomforted.

I think it's just hard for people to believe that cats can be trained to perform tricks. Everything the cats are doing are things that they do naturally. Nothing is unnatural. They are jumping, climbing, and that's about it. Different variations of jumping and climbing- nothing unnatural about it.
No, they are not. A lion will eat you if you zap him. A zoo will lose its accreditation if they use shock collars on the animals. Do you have any further information about these allegations?Of course these training techniques are employed with large animals.
