Jump-Roping Cat Breaks Guinness World Record

Trisha Seifried, who founded Got Pet-ential in 2011, has one of the coolest cats around. Pet-ential is a talent agency responsible for training animals out-of-this-world tricks for movies, commercials, and other pet venues in the public’s eye. She comes from an animal training background for large-scale companies. She does, however, have one seriously amazing cat who just broke the Guinness Book of World Records for the most skips a cat can do in 60 seconds.

The Story of Kit Kat

Kit Kat was found by Seifried 13 years ago as a tiny kitten in Missouri. Seifried came across the tiny kitten, his brothers, sisters, and mother in a barn. She couldn’t resist the four-week-old ball of fuzz, Kit Kat, and he became an important piece of the household. By the time he reached six months old, Kit Kat was on his way to becoming a star on the farm. He loved showing people that cats could be trained to do tricks. In fact, the young cat was already able to jump rope, and people came by to watch.

Kit Kat loves high-fiving all of his friends, family, and fans at events now. Seifried says it’s probably his favorite trick to perform. Kit Kat is a buff-colored, long-haired cat who has led a life of fame. He has starred in Friskies cat food’s social media campaign and even made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Now, Kit Kat has risen to the highest ranks of fame by completing the challenge of performing nine jumps in 60 seconds and capturing the Guinness Book of World Record title for the most amount of skips for a cat in 60 seconds. You could say that he’s the best jump-roping cat around.

Life-Long Star Athlete in Training

You could say that Kit Kat has been training to be a Guinness Book of World Records holder for his entire life. Kit Kat, the jump-roping cat who is now 13, is going to enjoy a retirement filled with love and relaxation. Given his age, Kit Kat’s rope-jumping days appear minimized, but his snuggle sessions have gained a bit of time. Everyone at A-Z Animals hopes Kit Kat has a wonderful retirement filled with head bonks and catnip.
