We humans have done some pretty amazing things in our time: We’ve built temples and walls and giant pyramids that seemingly defy engineering principles; we’ve created technologies that allow us to see and interact with friends and family on the other side of the planet; and scientists have mapped out many of the secrets held in our genes. Now we have another achievement to add to the list: cats that perform circus tricks. OK, so The Amazing Acro-Cats won’t be up for a Nobel anytime soon, but come on. These trainers have persuaded cats — the most surly and conniving of all beasts, the type of animal that will identify the thing you love most, and then claw it to shreds and piss and vomit on it — to do things that please you. Their kitties ride skateboards, roll barrels and play guitars, making your feline friend look like a box-crapping imbicile. It’s a collection of furry feats you won’t want to miss. See it live at Fort Worth’s Stage West Theatre (821 W. Vickery Blvd., Fort Worth) Friday through Sunday. Shows are at 8 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays; 5 and 8 p.m. on Saturdays; and 2 and 5 p.m. on Sundays. Tickets are $19 at circuscats.com
Thursdays, Fridays, 8 p.m.; Saturdays, Sundays, 5 p.m. Starts: Jan. 30. Continues through Feb. 8, 2015
