PORTLAND — It had the potential to be a cat-astrophe.

Fifteen circus cats were stuck on a bus — and they had a performance in two hours.

"Jax is like, 'I've got this.' No you don't, Jax," said circus owner Samantha Martin, fending off Jax's paws as she fed keys through a tiny bus window to a human also trapped inside.

Even on a good night, things can go awry for The Amazing Acro-Cats, a traveling cat circus with accompanying cat band. A furry performer wanders offstage, someone hisses at someone else, the fish treats aren't enough of an enticement to do, well, anything.
