Talk about toeing the line: Zoe, the tuxedo cat, can pad across two side-by-side wires suspended four and a half feet (1.37 meters) in the air—and she hasn't fallen yet. "We taught Zoe the trick by placing her on the same end of the wires where her treat was," says one of Zoe's trainers, Rob Bloch. "Then we slowly moved her farther and farther away from the reward." That way, the cat had to walk across the wires toward her favorite snack, usually chicken- or beef-flavored baby food. "We try to stay away from turkey," Bloch says. "That makes her too sleepy!"
