Meowdy there pawtner!
Well, kiss my grits and call me gravy! We've got a real life feline cowboy. This little fuzzy wrangler is named Charlie and he's a ranch cat that can't get enough on going for rides on his horsey friends. His mama, Addie Joy, posts her life as a rancher on her TikTok @addiejoyshorses. She loves all her horses and goes on peaceful rides around her home with them. Many of her videos are showing of these majestic creatures, but it's her cat that's recently taken the spotlight.
Charlie, the Black ranch cat, can be found hanging out with the horses all day. He walks amongst them as if he is one of them, unafraid of getting trampled or intimidated by the massive creatures surrounding him. One of his favorite activities is once Addie has saddle up one of the horses, Charlie will coming running out towards her and hop aboard.
She'll even be out on a ride far from the ranch and call out for Charlie and he will come running towards them to hitch a ride to wherever they're going. Though mom is usually on the horse while Charlie takes a ride, she's been starting to teach him how to take the reins himself. Obviously, not literally, though seeing a cat hold up some reins with his cute little murder mittens would simply be illegally adorable. But no, she just has him hop up on the saddle and then chaperones while the horse slowly trots around with Charlie on their back.
This kitty must have been a true cowboy in another life, because he just can't get enough of riding. Next step is definitely to get this little man a cowboy hat, stat!
