EVER seen a cat skateboarding better than you could? You're about to.

The rescue cat Didga has recently risen to fame through a Youtube video of her skateboarding through the streets of Coolangatta.

In the video, the four-legged feline skateboards through crowds, underneath the legs of a dog and jumps on and off the skateboard.

The video was uploaded by former Hollywood animal trainer Robert Dollwet yesterday and has been viewed more than 1000 times.

But this isn't Didga's first time in the spotlight.

The two-year-old tabby originally rose to fame in a YouTube video of her escaping from a dog by jumping onto a surfboard across a pool.

The video went viral and was viewed by more than two million viewers.

Tweed Heads based animal teacher Mr Dollwet said it took about eight months to train Didga and then create the video.

Fellow skateboarders laugh as Didga skates by.

"Some of the behaviours had to be taught, so I had to wait for that. If you continue to drill it into their heads it actually makes it worse," he said.

He said the amount of time put into training her to skateboard was 'off the charts'.

Mr Dollwet took in Didga as a rescue cat in 2012 after he moved to Tweed Heads from Malibu, where he worked as a Hollywood animal trainer.

He said many people don't believe that cats can be trained.

"A lot of people think cats just walk around and get fat and shed all over your carpet and couch," he said.

Didga's party tricks include flushing the toilet, skateboarding and surfing.

Mr Dollwet said the next video fans could expect of Didga would be a compilation of her tricks.
