Today's deal of the day comes from Sin City itself, Las Vegas. It has nothing to do with vice or gambling but with running away to the circus. For $20 for an adult or $10 for a child you get a ticket to The World Famous Popovich Comedy Pet Theater, a 55% discount from Groupon.It's family friendly entertainment consisting of clowns, dogs, and cats. Yes, I did say cats. While there is the old saying about something being as difficult as herding cats, this circus is able make cats turn in fine feline performing feats.
Sorry, if you want to run away with the circus that might not be possible if you are a human. They get most of their animal performers from local animal shelters. It is incredible how they can take the unwanted and make them stars.
On a personal note, a co-worker had highly recommended a cat circus to me a few years ago. She was very enthusiastic about it as she used to see these acts in Russia where she grew up. I had never heard of such a thing. Cats? Her English wasn't the best so I thought she must have meant lions, tigers, and cougars, after all what can you train a cat to do that would be that entertaining? I was intrigued and figured that I would go.
The circus was held to a packed crowd in a synagogue. The audience appeared to be predominately Russian. I didn't hear any roaring of lions or tigers and was beginning to think maybe she did mean cats, like kitty cats.
Sure enough, when the curtains opened out came clowns bouncing around and there were cats running around the stage. I must say that the acrobatic feats of the cats were a bit less than what the dogs did but still quite impressive. They even had a cat or two walk a tightrope. I can't even get a cat to walk up to me while holding a piece of food.
