Cat Goes on Parachute-Skiing Adventures – Sporting its Very Own Tiny Helmet (Video)
A daredevil cat soared through the skies on a parachute-skiing adventure, sporting his very own tiny helmet.
The bengal-mix named Thoth was securely strapped to owner Ivan Kuznetsov as they soared down the slopes of Gribanovka Ski Resort in Russia, last month.
After testing out downhill skiing together in December, the duo decided to take things up a notch leading to their high-flying stunt.
To keep Thoth secure, Ivan attached his harness to the speed glider’s own safety gear and the tiny adventurer also wore a warm down jacket to ward off the cold mountain air.
Ivan, an alpine ski instructor and skydiver from Arsenyev, Russia, said Thoth trusts him completely and feels safe.
“During the flight, he looked around with curiosity and was totally calm,” said the 37-year-old cat lover.
“The only thing that scared him was the noise of the cable car, so we started landing farther away from it.
Ivan first discovered Thoth’s love for adventure when the kitten crawled out of his backpack during a bike ride and perched on his shoulder for the entire trip.
Now the seven month-old kitty, accompanies Ivan on all his adventures.
“As soon as I put on his jacket and harness, he runs to the door purring.
“He enjoys walking in the park, cycling, skiing, snowboarding and even swimming.
“We started by getting him used to wearing a helmet. Then my friends made cheap replicas of the Cloud 9 skydive helmet, which happened to fit Thoth perfectly.
“I’m glad we both had this unique experience. It was meant to be.”
Ivan and Thoth are now preparing for their next challenges: rafting and tandem rock climbing. Next will come a parachute jump, with a specially designed fabric container for the fearless feline.
