Запознай се с Граф, котката, която изкачва планини

A domestic Russian cat is managing to see quite a bit more of the world than the average moggie, since owner Andrei Ostanin takes him almost everywhere, including to the top of mountains.
Ostanin from Nizhny Tagil loves to travel around Russia’s more remote regions but because he cannot leave his cat named Graf (Duke in English) at home alone the feline comes along too. Ostanin explained “I can’t leave him at home, and my parents have their own animals too, so I have to take him with me."
On Wednesday the intrepid pair reached Lake Baikal in the Irkutsk Region where Ostanin plans to spend a few days cycling over the frozen ice to Olkhon Island.
In October 2016, the pair climbed Mount Elbrus which is the highest peak in Russia and Europe at 5,642 metres (18,510). Unfortunately they did not make it to the top due to a storm but they did enjoy a two week holiday in Crimea afterwards.
Now Graf has his own Instagram page to catalogue his adventures.
