Hi, Vicky,
This is really cute. It reminds me of when my former brother-in-law Mike
Harrington told me about a golden retriever who was taught how to surf. It's
amazing what dogs and cats can learn to do.

Adding to the cat discussion:
Skateboarding cat shreds her way into Guinness Book of World Records
TWEED HEADS, Australia (UPI) -- A talented Australian cat famous for her
skateboarding
prowess shredded her way into the Guinness Book of World Records by performing
20
tricks in one minute.
Didga, a rescue cat belonging to trailer nobert Dollwet, was accepted into the
2017
Guinness Book of World Records after Dollwet filmed her performing 20 tricks in
under
a minute.
The feline's displayed skills ranged from simply shaking hands to doing a "hippy
jump" over a bar while riding her skateboard.
Guinness said Didga's trucks had be clearly defined and independent of one
another
to qualify for the record. Officials said the cat's tricks also had to feature
commands
and cues that didn't require Dollwet to initiate physical contact.
Didga previously made viral waves when Dollwet posted a video to YouTube showing
off her skills on the skateboard.
Dollwet said he trains cats "using a specific positive 'methodology' similar to
the
way marine animals are taught."
May God bless yo
