Skateboarding cat shreds her way into Guinness Book of World Records - Breitbart

TWEED HEADS, Australia, Sept. 9 (UPI) — A talented Australian cat famous for her skateboarding prowess shredded her way into the Guinness Book of World Records by performing 20 tricks in one minute.

Didga, a rescue cat belonging to trailer Robert Dollwet, was accepted into the 2017 Guinness Book of World Records after Dollwet filmed her performing 20 tricks in under a minute.

The feline’s displayed skills ranged from simply shaking hands to doing a “hippy jump” over a bar while riding her skateboard.

Guinness said Didga’s trucks had to be clearly defined and independent of one another to qualify for the record. Officials said the cat’s tricks also had to feature commands and cues that didn’t require Dollwet to initiate physical contact.

Didga previously made viral waves when Dollwet posted a video to YouTube showing off her skills on the skateboard.

Dollwet said he trains cats “using a specific positive ‘methodology’ similar to the way marine animals are taught.”
