In 2008, a French couple named William and Laetitia set out to see the Americas by traveling 9,000 miles by foot. (Our feet hurt just thinking about that.) Anyway, two months into their journey, they got an expected travel buddy: a kitten.

"Kitty" has been backpacking with (or rather literally, on) the couple ever since. Considering we can't even get our cat to step a paw outside our apartment, we're very impressed by Kitty's backpack-leaping abilities.
