Britain’s Most Adventurous Cat Named
Thunder with owner Gemma.
Exeter residents Gemma Baker and Mark Hutchings are celebrating after their cat, Thunder, was crowned Britain’s most adventurous cat, beating off stiff competition from over 450 cats across the UK.

The awards were launched by a cat food manufacturer in honour of Bobo, the acrobatic free-running star of that company’s latest TV ad.

Mark, Thunder’s owner got caught up in one of Thunder’s many adventures recently when he climbed to the top of a 30-foot tree. Worried Mark climbed the tree himself in order to save Thunder, but once he reached the top, the daring moggy leapt to the ground unaided and unharmed, and it was poor Mark that needed rescuing with the help of neighbours and ladders!

Gemma comments: “Thunder’s always exploring and he has a cunning knack of getting Mark or I involved in his adventurous pursuits! I can’t believe that his adventures have landed him the crown of Britain’s Most Adventurous Cat, and us a trip to Africa – I’ll never complain about his antics again!”  

Lucky Gemma and Mark will be jetting off to the wild African safari lands of Kenya for the chance to see really big adventurous cats in action. Plus, Thunder will enjoy a year’s supply of cat food.
