The net is full of dogs doing wonderful tricks, but cats are normally more independent and generally resist being "trained" in the same way. But this cat video is amazing. Do not miss it! It is not done by trick video editing. To understand how she achieved such a result, please read her comments and replies to questions:

I really REALLY loved watching this! What a beautiful, amazing cat Kaiser is...and what a lovely family. You can see Kaiser is quite happy interacting with his family and doing these tricks.
That is one smart and beautiful cat. It is incredible what he has learned to do. Of course the dog companion is a border collie. They are very smart as well. Between the two of them they can do anything.
That must be a fun household with so many fun animals.
I wonder if the rat does tricks too...?
I am betting that the rat does tricks. I am sure the dog does. They are a clever bunch with a clever person to work with them. It must have taken a lot of time and effort to get the cat so trained.
Cats are usually clever enough for tricks, but how did she manage to motivate the cat?
I believe that she says on her page that it was with love, patience, rewards and clicker training (or something like that). Also, Bengals are exceptionally intelligent cats (see

She must have put a lot of time into the training. The cat is clearly devoted to her. I can't get over how beautiful he is. All cats are beautiful, but this Bengal is incredibly graceful and attractive.
this cat video is really cute.
It is an amazing cat and an amazing trainer.
