1A mere four months ago, a black cat named Bounty had no idea just how adventurous his life was about to become.Although the cat was originally destined for a cat sanctuary, Doina Muravschi adopted him just in time.To some,Doina being an avid(酷爱的)traveller would seem like a potential issue,but it turns out,these two were made for each other.

2Excited for their journey to begin, Doina gathered all of the equipment, treats, and other necessities that the two of them would need.Though, when it came to carriers for Bounty, she had to get a bit creative.“I made a special pouch for him, because cat carriers are not adapted to certain journeys,”she said.

3One of their first adventures included a cycling tour of Italy, the first test that would help them discover how accustomed he was to an adventurous lifestyle.“At the start,Bounty was a little anxious and nervous, but after the first few days, he started to enjoy himself,”Doina said.“While I pedalled(蹬；骑),he slept in the carrier.”

4Since that first cycling tour, Bounty and Doina have gone on several more adventures in their short time together, including mountaineering and camping.In fact,this adorable cat has already managed to become a record breaker!He is considered to be the first house cat to summit La Grignetta, a 7,100-foot mountain in the Italian Alps.Best of all,he did so“without even a meow of protest”.

5“Together we've already gone on trips of more than a month,”Doina said,“last autumn, when we went from Ballabio to Matera by bike.”In other words, the two of them cycled the entire length of the Italian peninsula! If you'd like to keep up with this adorable duo, you're in luck! They have their own website where Doina documents their travels with lots of updates,photos,and videos for their 800 followers to enjoy.
