Climbing a mountain is an incredible feat — not just because it takes a lot of work, but because every single part of the process seems designed by God to kill you.

As one ascends a mountain, they encounter numerous pitfalls, icy cold and, of course, thin air that makes it difficult to breathe. Then, if you make it all the way to the top, the most you’re getting out of your effort is a good view (and, I guess, a sense of accomplishment or something).


What a mountaineer might not expect to find is anyone, or anything, else at the peak, but that’s exactly what happened to this mountaineer. Instead of being able to reflect in his lonesome at the peak of the mountain, he found a cat, who was just vibing.



According to the Daily Mail, Wojciech Jabczynski (yes, all Polish names are like this) climbed almost 8,200 feet in order to reach the peak the summit of Rysy, the country’s highest mountain. When he did, he found a cat, who didn’t seem too impressed by his accomplishment.


No one knows how a simple tabby ended up at the summit, though Jabczynski speculated that it came from a small tourist hut elsewhere on the mountain. Regardless, the cat seemed friendly enough, with the climber even going out of his way to offer the animal a bit of his cheese sandwich (the cat wasn’t interested, in case you were wondering).



So shoutout to Jabczynski for climbing that mountain — and big respect to the cat for doing the same and not appearing to give a single shit about it.
