“It was 4:30 am, at around 1200 meters, when we heard a cat in the dark forest. She made a really scared and confused impression. But we couldn’t get rid of her while walking uphill. So she stayed with us.” –Cyril Rohrer

Gnarly story out of the Swiss Alps were a house cat lost for four days on the side of a mountain joined a pair of backcountry skiers on their ascent to the peak. People Magazine reports  Cyril Rohrer and Erik Rohrer were making their way up Mt. Britsen in Switzerland when they were joined by the lost kitten. The cat followed them all the way up to the 10082ft summit and made it back down under their watchful eye. Cyril and Erik helped it to the safety of the valley floor, eventually reuniting the kitten with her owners. Well done.
