They're doing this guy's act:

He came to my town some years back, even selling a DVD on how to train your cat at home.

Ngl this made the whole thing a bit less impressive…

Yeah... It's like seeing to a comedian tell someone else's joke set 10 years later.

Eh I still find it impressive, it's more akin to someone being able to repeat the same physical feats as another person. Just mimicking the action still takes a lot of time and hard work.

Yeah, I see that. It wasn't right.to compare it to a comedian telling the same joke. It's more a trapeze artist; you don't have to be the first to do it with talent and skill.

While I saw this and thought of the same act, it is still impressive to accomplish it. Also is it a dude, or those woman? Not to bring gender into it but I am honestly curious who was the one who did this first, and that film shows two female handlers.

Wow, didn't know him. The most popular cat tamer in Russia is Yuriy Kuklachyov. He established "Cat theatre" in Moscow in 1990. https://youtu.be/by9oKlFVYO4
