The most unlikely running and cross-country skiing companion
Jesper the Cat has become an Internet sensation since a video surfaced containing footage of the two-year-old's running and cross-country skiing abilities.
If you’re looking for a running companion or a partner to join you while cross-country skiing, the most common avenue is to call up a friend. A second choice may be bringing along a canine.
But in this case, a cat seems like it may be an ideal training partner.
Jesper, a two-year-old male cat, is arguably the world’s best house cat for running and cross-country skiing. One could even say he’s “purr-fect” as an exercise companion.
