    NEW YORK - Russian clown Yuri Kuklachev has a troupe of cats who do handstands, crawl along high wires and balance on balls and he says the secret to training them is realizing that you can’t force cats to do anything.

    Kuklachev, 56, said his cat-training method also can be applied to children.

    “Parents need to watch their children to see what he or she likes to do and encourage this,” he said, adding that it worked for his three children.

    One child joined Kuklachev at the cat theater, one is a dancer and one is a painter who paints cats.

    “If you do the same thing with your child as you do with your cat, he may not become a genius but he’ll do whatever he enjoys doing,” Kuklachev said.
