Adventure catting, it's called, and it's a full-blown trend, complete with special cat harnesses and social media feeds. People are taking their cats hiking, paddle boarding, and mountain climbing as if they were dogs or people, anything but cats. One adventure catter told NPR, quote, taking them on adventures is such a good bonding activity. I wouldn't want to leave them at home.

The cat had no comment. It breaks the stereotype of cats, we are told. Well, I guess it does. Our cat, Jimmy, is adventurous, all right, when it comes to climbing way up behind a motel room sink or yowling with wildlife at 2 a.m. But can I see him swinging along a Sylvan hiking trail with us?

Much less paddle boarding and all the other distinctly non-feline sports that adventure cats, we are told, get up to. What I can see is Jimmy taking one look at the little Nike snowshoes somebody got him and laughing his little ass off.

I believe that there is a tour that you can take to all the houses and sites of the Sopranos. Yes, you can. There is that. If I were an alien being, I would want to check that out first. Yeah.
