Some cats catch mice, other can do yoga, but Millie is a rock climbing prodigy

Millie's Owner, Craig Armstrong, likes to explore deserts, canyons and mountains of Utah with his feline companion

Armstrong adopted Millie a while back and was thrilled and was thrilled when he found out the cat seemed to share his passion for climbing adventures

Armstrong knew Millie was the one when the kitten climbed onto his shoulders the first time they met at the adoption centre

However, climbing didn't come without a health dose of training

Armstrong even gave hiking with Millie a special name: "Catting". Not the most clever name ever created, but you get the idea

Even at home Millie can't stop looking for the highest ground to ascend to

Their adventures make the post hike naps all the sweeter

My cat is called Millie also! Will post pictures if wanted :)

My cat can't even stretch out on the bed without falling off the side, he would for sure fall off a mountain.

When my cat was but a kitten, we had a sandy lot next door. I trained her and her sister to walk on leashes and they'd potty there.

Well, they were pretty much domesticated in the desert.

My cat would still shit on the couch, just to spite me.

I wanna print this and put it next to my cat's litter box as a motivational poster. Like when human bathrooms have pictures of the ocean.

Meanwhile all my cat does is eat and is almost too fat to climb up onto the bed...

Put your cat on a diet, their health is your responsibility.

I was going to say this. +1

11 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 2

Agreed. My cat's diet is fine, I was more being sarcastic than anything else.

My cat, Spaghetti, can't go Catting. She's doesn't cat very well at all. She falls well, though.

11 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Sounds just like my cat. Also glad to see the lungs are in working order! Still crossfitting?

11 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

No crossfitting anymore! I AM, however, about to finish my capstone research and look for a big girl job. So I feel like I'm almost an adult

Poppy! Most vets thought she was male because it's apparently very uncommon for a female cat to be two colours. :)
