Most cats are homebodies. Cezar, however, is an adventure cat.
This Maine Coon from Sweden travels the world and has currently more than 14 countries on his travel resumé… and no intention of stopping anytime soon. Cezar is proof that cats CAN travel.
In this blog post, we’ll dive into the inspiring story of Cezar, the most traveled cat in the world, and explore some of his incredible journeys.
This is a guest post by Carla from Cezar’s Crew
How Cezar the cat started to travel
Since we lived in an apartment in the city in Sweden, Cezar started out to be an indoor cat as a kitten, but I was used to outdoor cats, and I wanted him to feel free.
So every weekend, I put him in a backpack and went to my father’s place in the countryside where he could run around as he pleased. Now and then, I put Cezar on a leash and walked him around the block to get a little bit of fresh air.
When I started out traveling full time in 2015, I wanted to bring my cat Cezar with me.
He adapted really well to life on the road, probably because he was already used to walking on a leash and traveling short distances.
Traveling the world with a cat
We started from Sweden over to Denmark and Germany. Next was the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Portugal, and then back to the south of Spain.
In the summer of 2016, we took part in some voluntary work in Greece, France, and Spain.
Soon after, we set our sights on a new continent: America. We embarked on a road trip across California, Nevada, and Arizona before moving on to Cuba and Colombia, where we celebrated Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
During our time on the island of Crete in Greece, we met a traveler from El Salvador who kindly invited us to visit her home country. We couldn’t pass up such an opportunity and kicked off 2017 with a trip to El Salvador.
I rented a car for a week, so Cezar and I could explore the country, especially the national parks and the volcanoes.
Cezar became quite popular in El Salvador, and everyone wanted to take a picture with him. They were amazed because he is quite big compared to the local cats – 3,5 y.o. 100 cm long and about 7-8 kg.
On the pictures below, you can see Cezar at a place called The Devil’s Door (Puerta del Diablo), which is the highest point of San Salvador.
In El Salvador, Cezar and I also loved hanging by the swimming pool, having lunch or enjoying the company of friends.
After exploring the country for a few weeks, we headed back to Colombia. With some time to spare, we decided to stay in Medellin for a few months before finally making our way back to Sweden.
On our journey back home, we took a two-week “detour” to Canada and drove through five provinces, including Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island.
In total, we have visited 14 countries so far.
Any cat can become accustomed to adventure
I didn’t know how popular my cat would be during our travels. That’s why we started to share our story, and a mission was born – to inspire others that you CAN travel with your furry-four-legged-loved ones.
I believe that any cat can become accustomed to adventure. Our goal is to continue to inspire others that traveling with your furry, four-legged loved ones is possible by adding at least eight new countries to our list in the upcoming months.
Usually, there aren’t any problems. But maybe it was a little too hot for him in El Salvador. Maine Coons are “winter” cats. That didn’t suit him too well with 30-35 degrees (Celsius).
