Should I put an application in to travel around the country as part of a cat circus?

Yes!

You're asking this when you could be filling out the application?!

That sounds kind of awesome.

i don't see why not.

is there some cat exploitation issue you're worried about?

As-is, this actually sounds pretty cool, but do you have any other information? What exactly would you be doing?

This.

I'm generally rather against animal-based circus acts, but that's because most involve captive wild animals. Assuming you're talking about felis domesticus, there are only two issues I'd be considering were it my decision: does this job (and its associated travel) offer a realistic prospect of happier times than the alternative living arrangements in the short to medium term? And would varying accommodation be acceptable?

In the case of the acts involving wild cats, those questions still apply, and you might take a different view on the ethics. Even if we share the same opinion, you might take the view that the circus will be touring with or without you, and you'll offer the animals care at least as good as anyone else who might take the job.

And of course, you can apply and later turn down any offer that comes in if you have second thoughts. So if it sounds appealing, go for it, basically. :)

That sounds fun! The only question I have is would your cat come with you, and enjoy the traveling, since many cats hate travel?

My cousin was in a non cat circus. The living space was very small for humans. Agree with needing more info and treatment considerations. But.
