Cats are more often known for being homebodies, however, this Insta-famous cat is known for having epic adventures through Alberta's stunning Rocky Mountains and honestly, we're a little bit jealous.

Gary, a seven-year-old cat, might just be Instagram's most adventurous animal, with his "social media manager" often documenting his trips in the great outdoors on Instagram and TikTok.

From hiking to rafting, skiing and even riding in helicopters, Gary is showing us all how we should be experiencing the Rocky Mountains.

At the moment, Gary has 447,000 Instagram followers and over 537,000 people watching his adventures on TikTok.

Gary, who currently lives between Canmore and Edmonton, is often pictured on adventures with his siblings, Carl, Doug, Duke and Marge.

He was adopted from a shelter by his owners, who gradually trained him to be more comfortable adventuring outside. Now, Gary experiences some of Alberta's most stunning scenery.

Although most trips have been a success, adventuring doesn't come without its risks for this guy.

At the end of a busy day of exploring, Gary can just catch a ride back in his trusty backpack, which is perfect for napping.
