Kitty the backpacking cat
April 20, 2010 · → 1 Comment
Cats featured today: Cub, Solomon, Willy and Jack, Sweet and Thomas and Benny.
Kitty, a gray tabby, is probably the most adventurous cat in the world. She is crossing the American continent with her owners, the French couple of backpackers Guillaume and Laetitia, who are on a 3-year, 9,000-mile journey on foot since September 2008.
Kitty often travels on Guillaume’s backpack with a blue umbrella over her head that protects her from the sun. The couple found her in Louisiana, abandoned on a busy road, when she was still a kitten, a month after the started their journey.
At first, they intended to find her a family. But less than 24 hours later, they were madly in love with her and decided to keep her.
Kitty seems to enjoy the trip as much as her owners. She’s nice to everyone and enjoys the scenery on Guillaume’s shoulder as much as possible.
They will cover 13 countries during their hike, making a statement that it’s possible to live with much less money than we all think, according to Laetitia — even if you have a pet.
According to the latest posts on their web site, they are now in Colombia
