5. Most Tricks Performed by a Cat in One Minute
In June 2020, a highly intelligent tortoiseshell cat named Alexis made waves in Austria when she demonstrated an incredible talent: performing 26 tricks in just one minute! Among the impressive tricks were high fives, waving paws, and even shaking her head, all executed with impressive precision and speed. Alexis’ impressive performance not only showcased her innate abilities but also the remarkable bond she shares with her owner, Anika Moritz.
Moritz, who adopted Alexis as a kitten, began training her just a few weeks after bringing her home. By utilizing positive reinforcement techniques, Moritz was able to encourage Alexis to master a wide range of tricks, turning their training sessions into a fun and rewarding experience for both of them.
Alexis’ astonishing feat earned her a spot in the record books and solidified her status as one of the smartest cats around. You can watch Alexis in action here and also read Moritz’s inspiring story about her training journey and the power of positive reinforcement. It’s a beautiful reminder of the strong connection between pets and their owners—and the incredible things they can achieve together!
