Feline adventurer conquers Colorado 14er.

[GeorgeGist]

AURORA – Most cats spend weekends napping around the house but not Paul. The 9-pound apartment cat suits up for adventures around Colorado.

From camping to hiking, the 2-year-old feline loves to explore, and this summer he accomplished a feat on most Coloradan's bucket list – climbing a 14er.

Paul conquered Grays Peak on June 19 with his owners Russ and Andrea McMillen. They used the South Ridge route to make sure Paul had a more peaceful journey with fewer dogs and people.

The curious hiker loves the outdoors and made it up the mountainside on his leash, taking occasional naps inside a mesh backpack the McMillens turned into a "catpack" for Paul to rest his paws. The backpack is a pet carrier from Dr. Foster and Smith and they are modifying it for longer journeys.
