Jump-Roping Cat Breaks Guinness World Record

A 13-year-old Missouri cat showed off his jump-roping skills and broke a Guinness World Record by skipping nine times in 1 minute.

Kit Kat, working together with owner Trisha Seifried, vaulted over the rope nine times to break the record for most skips by a cat in 1 minute.

"By 6 months old Kit Kat was jumping rope in front of huge crowds of people at the farm, helping to bust myths that cats can't be trained," Seifried told GWR.

Seifried runs an animal talent agency, and Kit Kat's showbiz resume includes a social media campaign for Friskies cat food and an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

"Jumping rope is definitely his most impressive trick, however because of his age we do keep his jumping to a minimum. I would say his favorite trick now is high five, he loves high-fiving all his fans at events," Seifried said.

Cats are better trainers than trainees.

Missing my Ernest T Cat. Ernie loved to play fetch with a little rubber ball. Stand in the kitchen, Bounce the ball downstairs. Ernie would fetch, run back up the stairs and drop the ball at your feet. Over and over again. Visitors loved to play fetch with Ernie too.

My husband is definitely our cats’ Person. I can call Leroy, and he’ll run straight to the man, not me.

I’m just a less than ideal substitute functionary...

I had a female cat who loved to fetch. Then we got a male cat, then another, and she stopped fetching. I guess she had more important missions, then.

I’ll bet she spent most of her time keeping the male cats in line.

LOL! I once had a kitten who thought the squirt bottle was a game. He’d hunker down, tail thumping, squint his eyes and DARE me.
