Adventure cat dons stylish ski 'fits and hits the slopes
Aspen, Colorado - Humans aren't the only ones who get excited about snow. This cat has a ski pass for the "meowtain," and an adventurous streak that has wowed fans.
A tabby cat named Liebchen is not only sweet, but always down for the ride.
The cat - whose name means "sweetheart" in German - was a rescue and adopted by his owners at just ten weeks old. Since then, the trio has been on the go, as his "pawrents" Erin and Dave are a very active couple.
"I love to ski, hike, bike, camp, paddle, and travel everywhere with my pawrents," Liebchen's website explains.
He has been leash trained, and thus, has gone hiking and - as he got bigger - on road trips across the country.
The couple also loves to go skiing, so of course, their four-legged-friend soon began to join in on the fun. Much to everyone's surprise, he doesn't mind the ski lift or the snow.
Dave simply secures Liebchen in his backpack, and with whiskers flying in the wind, the two head down the mountain together.
And so that Liebchen doesn't miss out on those fab winter 'fits, he has his own small jacket and tiny ski goggles when he hits the slopes.
"The ski meowtain even made me my own ski pass," he said on his site.
Liebchen the viral adventure cat not only likes now, but water too!
The ski slopes are not the only terrain Liebchen has conquered. Unlike most other cats, he's also a big fan of water, too!
Erin and Dave have shared photos and videos of their furry friend swimming in lakes with their huge Instagram following, and often post clips from Liebchen's journey on their TikTok account too.
The cat's spirit has inspired other pet owners to get out there and have more fun.
"You inspired me to go hiking with my cat," one Instagram user wrote on Liebchen's page. "He loves it so much. Curious and happy all the time."
"I love the adventures that you go on with your baby," commented another.
As another wrote and many followers agree: "I can't wait to see more kitty ski adventures this winter!"
