Cat Jumping Through Hula Hoop on Cue

After teaching Ninja how to jump on command (up and down) onto anything I wanted, I thought it would be a great next step to train her how to jump THROUGH something. Well, I trained my parrot how to fly through a hoop so I thought I’d use the same hula hoop for Ninja.

She learned the whole thing in no time at all and was doing a short “skip” so to speak through it on the first day. When I would make the training session go a little too long for her liking, she would begin rubbing up against the hula hoop as if to make it pet her instead so I would have to step back and make the hula hoop at a shorter distance for her again before moving on.

It’s a really cute trick though and one of my favorites because it’s so different. This one was just trained for fun but one I am glad I took the time to train! I hope you enjoy watching her in the video.
