Tuxedo Cat Takes the Gold in the Winter Paw-lympics, Going Viral for a Feline's Touch on Outdoor Snow Events That Impress the Judges (VIDEO)

Cats never waste an oppawtunity to impress us humans, especially when a gold medal at the 2026 Winter Pawlymics is on the line.

Surprising us at every turn, kitties and felines never cease to amaze, and the outdoorsy snowcat in this next video proves just how spectacular cats can be. Oftentimes, when we see the dainty toebeans and the adorable whiskers of a house cat, cat lovers assume that their purrfectly manicured mean mittens will never touch the filth of the outside world. Like indoor royalty, cats relish their ruling in the indoors, enjoying the plush of their ergonomic cat bed and the warmth of the fire in the fireplace. Many cats wouldn't dare set foot outside in the cold. 

But some cats, like Fitz the tuxedo kitty, are built differently. 

Normally, when a cat comes face-to-face with a snowball, they hiss and scratch at the idea, rejecting any inch of discomfort in lieu of their usual warm spot on the windowsill. However, indoor monotony, cans of tuna, and that darned laser pointer they can never seem to catch taunt the indoor cats, and some felines yearn for adventure. In the unusual case of this pawrticular cat, adventure led to athleticism, letting this black and white cat in kitty formalwear flex his prowess to his hoomans. 

Once again, impressing us with a cat's natural beauty and grace, this athlete became the star of the internet, proudly accepting a gold medal (albeit as the only contestant) in the Cat Winter Olympics. Kindly consider this viral video as his submission to the next round of icy snow games, because this cat shows us exactly how powerful, dexterous, and adorable cats can be when we let them outside to play in the snow. Even when they're bundled up in their cat ear muffs, puffer jackets, and snow boots, this cat is far from frozen, and he's heating up the competition. 

Look out, fellow Olympians, there's a new competitor on the ice! He may have four paws and a pesky curled whisker, but this kitty has earned his tuxedo time and time again out there in the snow. Of course, this is probably all to reap the benefits of a warm, cozy bed at the end of the night.
