In Queensland, Australia, one adopted kitten is proving to the world that cats can learn just as many cool tricks as any dog (if she feels like it).
Watch Bindi casually strutting her stuff on a moving escalator handrail with the greatest of ease.
Handrail, meet catwalk
You gotta keep ’em escalated
Bindi and her brothers Didga, Boomer, and Jeb live the good life on Australia’s sunshine coast with their dad Robert Dollwet, a professional dog trainer with a background in Hollywood pet acting.
She was a skater girl
Robert is an animal behaviorist, and has been training dogs for over 35 years and adopted his first cat, Didga, with an eye to unlocking the secrets of cat training for himself. Robert finds cats to be “smart and teachable” and recommends using positive training methods like clicker training.

The ‘cat pack’ really gets a kick out of their supervised visits to their local beaches and parks. Bindi and her brothers are all harness-trained and have excellent recall, which allows them to explore the world in safety. And by safety, we mean keeping the cat safe and keeping the local wildlife population safe from feline predation too.

At home, the crew loves hanging out on their ‘catio’ watching birds, and practicing their stunts and tricks with Robert.
