Woman And Her Ragdoll Adventure Cat Are Living A 'Purrfectly Heavenly Life'
Have you ever felt envious of a cat's life? Once you discover the TikTok account devoted to one ragdoll cat's adventures in Switzerland, you'll be flooded with envy. In a sweet video captioned "Her name is Elle, she's a little ragdoll and also my best friend and more 🩷" — which has been viewed more than 972,000 times — Elle and her owner, Amanda, hike through the mountains, paddleboard, and cycle, looking like a beautiful princess and loyal sidekick from a fairy tale as they explore the outdoors.
@lavaux_cat Her name is Elle, she's a little ragdoll and also my best friend and more 🩷 #catbond #adventurecat #friendship #ragdoll #switzerland🇨🇭
Other videos show the pair's strong bond as they swim and snowboard together. "I hate seeing others live my fantasy lol 😭🙏," joked one netizen, and another wrote, "If that isn't a purrfectly heavenly life, I dunno what is..."
Several viewers noted similarities between these two BFFs and Peter and Eddy, a man and his ginger adventure cat who live the best life in the mountains of Austria. One person wrote, "We need to play Cupid and hook em up 💕 👼," and another gushed, "Yes they [definitely] must get together and their cats too. What a beautiful couple they would make and both their cats too are so beautiful."
The trend of adventure cats
It seems like adventure cats have been popping up everywhere in recent years, taking over TikTok and Instagram with chronicles of their entertaining exploits. One possible explanation is that cat owners are starting to recognize that their feline friends benefit just as much from vigorous exercise and mental stimulation as their canine companions do. This has led to pet companies making gear designed specifically for cats, such as backpack carriers that are breathable and comfortable, and sturdy harnesses that are difficult to escape from.
Several viewers of the TikTok video lamented that their own kitties aren't at all bold like Elle. "Why can't my cat be adventurous with me 😭 oh ya we both hate to be near people and noises lol," quipped one, and another stated, "I need to have a talk with my cat." One netizen got more introspective, writing, "When people tell you you'll be an old cat lady as a threat I always get confused because look at this it's just endless pretty pretty princess time all day and all night. It seems perfect to me."
