Instagram is full of awe-inspiring photos of travelers and influencers showing off stunning views from their journeys. However, as influencers copy other influencers, the photos can get repetitive and uninspiring. That, or maybe you're just tired of seeing those picture-perfect models posing in every shot. If that's the case, then this Instagram account is just for you!
Meet Gary, a 5-year-old rescue kitty that has one of the best social media accounts out there. He's not just any floof-ball posing for cutesy photos, this cat is a true adventurer who loves hiking, paddling and meowntaineering. And after taking a peek at his gallery, you might feel a tingling sense of envy, as this feline has better vacations than most of us.
Bored Panda has reached out to Gary's owner for an interview and he shared some exciting details about the kitty. "Gary really likes our adventures, and I work really hard to make sure he's always happy and comfortable," said James, Gary's owner and social media manager. He revealed that Gary's introduced to new activities slowly, so the cat has time to adjust to them on his own terms. "I've created a bit of a monster though because if I don't take him out enough, he sits at the door and meows," James explained.
When asked how Gary joined their family, James revealed that it was actually his partner's actions that led to them adopting Gary. "The reason she picked him out was because he had suffered the same injury as his dog-brother Duke at the same age and they were a matching pair," he elaborated. "They both had broken left hips and underwent a femoral head osteoectomy as treatment [which means that] the head of his femur was removed and his left hip joint is now just tendon and muscle, instead of bone," the man detailed. For that reason, the kitty can't jump very high but is otherwise completely normal. Also, Gary's name while in the shelter was apparently Bruce (after Bruce Wayne)!
The 29-year-old communications professional also revealed how Gary's Instagram page came to life. When he and his partner moved to the Canadian Rockies where the family currently resides, James was unemployed and decided to start Gary's account "as a way to maintain a social media presence while [he] looked for work in my field". Gary's popularity and following came as an unexpected, but pleasant surprise.
"We only started adventuring with Gary recently," James explained. "He showed a keen interest in going outside and even escaped once so we decided to harness train him after we moved," he added. The choice was obvious, as not only could traffic outside be dangerous, but there are other hazards lurking outside. "There's a lot of predators like bears, wolves, coyotes and birds of prey in our area and it's unsafe to have free roaming cats," the owner elaborated. He also said that getting Gary in a harness also protected small mammals and songbirds from ending up being the cat's prey.
"As he got more comfortable on a leash, we began to go on bigger adventures," the owner elaborated on the jumpstart of Gary's adventures. The family started small, with their yard and local parks, and then moved to bigger ventures, going on full hikes in the mountains. "This summer, we've branched out into paddleboarding and kayaking, camping, and even meowtaineering when he walked on the toe of a glacier!" James seemed enthusiastic about his cat's adventures.
