1 A mere four monthsago， a black cat namedBounty had no idea justhow adventurous his lifewas about to become.Although the cat wasoriginally destined for acat sanctuary， DoinaMuravschi adopted him just in time. To some， Doina being an avid （酷愛(ài)的） traveller wouldseem like a potential issue， but it turns out， these two were made for each other.

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

3 One of their first adventures included a cycling tour of Italy， the first test that wouldhelp 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 enjoyhimself，”Doina said.“While I pedalled （蹬；騎）， he slept in the carrier.”

4 Since that first cycling tour， Bounty and Doina have gone on several moreadventures in their short time together， including mountaineering and camping. Infact， this adorable cat has already managed to become a record breaker！ He is considered tobe 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，“l(fā)astautumn， when we went from Ballabio to Matera by bike.”In other words， the two of themcycled the entire length of the Italian peninsula！ If youd like to keep up with this adorableduo， youre in luck！ They have their own website where Doina documents their travels withlots of updates， photos， and videos for their 800 followers to enjoy.
