Meet Gandalf The Traveling Cat Who Has Better Vacations Than You

ADVERTISEMENT

A 2-year-old Siberian cat, currently living in California with his hoomins, enjoys traveling more than you’d expect for a kitty. In fact, he enjoys it so much that his Instagram might make you jealous!

“He is an indoor only cat with the exception of leash time,” said his humans. “We started taking him out with us since he was just a few weeks. He loves it! He still gets the outdoor experience and we get to share in all of his adventures!”

“He loves his leash! As soon as we pick it up he runs to the door and sits down for us to put it on. He is a travel bug.” So far he has visited 2 countries and 8 states. Gandalf’s owners are planning to move to New Zealand in 2016. The adventure is just beginning!

More info: Instagram (h/t: lovemeow)

“We started taking him out with us since he was just a few weeks. He loves it!”

“He loves his leash! As soon as we pick it up he runs to the door and sits down for us to put it on. He is a travel bug”

“We recently took our kitty Gandalf on our road trip”

“He really enjoyed seeing all the new places and making friends with the fellow campers”

“We adopted him while we were living in Korea from a veterinary office,” said Gandalf’s humans

“He was only 5 weeks old and had a respiratory infection but the vet was great and helped us fix him right up”

“We knew we won the kitty lotto once we got him home”

“He is bigger and fluffier now but still has the kitten playful purrsonality”

“We hope his adventures inspire you to share some of the world with your kitty”

Gandalf’s owners are planning to move to New Zealand in 2016

Hi, great cat. Our little beastie, StellaLuna, is also an indoor cat(she is declawed, my health reason) that loves to go out on her leash. We have to put two harnesses on her, she is related to Houdini, can you please tell me where you purchased his harness. Thanks a bunch, Mitty. My email is cookingondevoe@Gmail.com

I am visiting my parents and have bought my two kittens and 20 month old cat with me. It was a 3.5 hour car trip and the kitties were perfect! I take a kitty litter tray and they use it in the car.

How nice! My Ragdoll cat Daisy Blue loves walking on a lead. Just like yours she behaves like a dog, people seeing her on a street express astonished looks and not just because she is on a lead but also of her size larger than a typical house cat.

What a beautiful cat ! It's only the second time I see pictures of a Siberian cat, and this one is particularly beautiful with his zibeline coat ! Doesn't seem to be the smiling type, though... I love the pictures where he's wearing his raincoat or his ... dare I say parka ? I tried to train both my cats to the leash when they were still very young, but they never did anything else than let themselves be dragged on the back ! Just not their stuff ! Congratulations, and many happy trips with Gandalf

The last photo made me laugh! I wish my cat was into traveling with me. But alas! She meow and growls whenever she is in my car. Such a "pussy" cat! :P

I think it is Persian though. I just want to grab that cat and hug him and kiss him. But I have my own, I wish he would travel with me. I got him when he was 7 so, it is too late...
