Video : Cat goes riding with its owner – and joins his cycling club

Russian rider covers 20 miles per ride with his feline friend

A cat belonging to a keen cyclist in Russia goes for rides with its owner – and has even joined his cycling club.

The cat, Semyon Semyonych, sits on the shoulders of its owner, Alexei, when he takes it for a spin, reports Mail Online.

The cyclist, from Ulyanovsk, said that the moggy first got the hang of perching on his shoulder earlier this year.

“It all started when I taught him to sit on my shoulder. I taught him during one day. I cycle the whole year round, but he did it on March 4 for the first time.”

Currently, the pair cover up to 20 miles on a ride, but Alexei hopes to increase that to 60 miles and has even secured a cycling club membership card for his feline friend.

That's no moggy, that looks like a Burmese or possibly a Siamese cross.  I owned one years ago, and even by cat standards they're quite loopy.  Shoulder perching seems to be the breeds party trick, mine liked it so much it had a habit of leaping there without warning.

To be fair, if it had warned you first it would have been even more alarming.

Very good, here's you're reward. A picture of a Burmese cat, doing Burmese cat things on Tom Baker.

(I'll work out what this has to do with cycling at some point)
