Question

    Cats are often considered lazy.  They love napping( 打 盹 ) on their own comfortable  beds.However, as Gary the cat shows us, some kittens also love adventure.

Gary is a five-year-old long-haired cat. He goes on camping trips in the Rockies(落基山脉) with his owners every weekend. The cat has his own social media page. He can often be seen exploring snowy peaks( 高 峰 ) in a warm jacket. The cat also enjoys taking pictures with his dog brothers.

James Eastham is Gary’s “dad” and his social media manager. Eastham met Gary when the cat was about two years old. It turned out that Gary was born with an interest in exploring the  great outdoors. He would manage to escape from Eastham’s apartment several times every month. Eastham and his wife then started to take Gary out for walks.

Shortly after that, the Easthams moved to the mountains. Slowly, Gary went on bigger and bigger  adventures. He started with the family’s yard and then parks. As Gary became more comfortable outside, his owners took him on trips to more distant(遥远的) places and for longer periods of time. Eventually, Gary was ready for the mountains and all the fun outdoor activities. This past winter, Gary even tried skiing for the first time.

When he is  tired, Gary will just “hitch  a ride( 搭便车)” on his owners.“These days, he prefers to ride on my shoulders instead of in his pack,” said Eastham.

According to Eastham, outdoor adventures seem to have been good for Gary. The cat used to be shy. Now, he has become much more confident around strangers. “He has even gotten friendlier,” said Eastham.

Gary has become one of the most famous cats on the internet. However, it seems the fame hasn’t gone to his head. “Gary is still a cat,” said Eastham. “It mostly only cares about having enough treats(美餐) every day.”
