Acrobatic Cats In Arlington? Yep

The Regent Theatre is hosting the ultimate cat hour.

ARLINGTON, MA — A cat circus is coming to Arlington next weekend. Move over Circ du Soleil. These cats can jump through hoops, walk tight wires, get audience applause and balance on balls like the best of them. And, they allegedly play in a rock band.

For three nights only, the Acro Cats will appear at the Regeant Theatre Samantha Martin and her troupe of trained cats (and other animals) return for five performances. Seats - which go for about $20 - and are known to sell out.

These cats, and their trainers, travel across country in a tour bus and have visited shows like the Late Show, with Steven Colbert - though that time the cats weren't exactly that cooperative.
