Thunder Crowned Britains Most Adventurous Cat

Exeter residents Gemma Baker and Mark Hutchings are celebrating after their cat, Thunder, was crowned Britain’s most adventurous cat in the BOBO AWARDS, beating off stiff competition from over 450 cats across the UK.

Go-Cat®, the nation’s number one dry cat food*, has scoured the country to find Britain’s most fearless felines with the Go-Cat BOBO AWARDS. The awards were launched in honour of Bobo, the amazing, acrobatic free-running star of Go-Cat’s latest TV ad, celebrating cats that live life to the full.

Mark, Thunder’s owner got caught up in one of Thunder’s many adventures recently when he climbed to the top of a 30-foot tree. Worried Mark climbed the tree himself in order to save Thunder, but once he reached the top, the daring moggy leapt to the ground unaided and unharmed, and it was poor Mark that needed rescuing with the help of neighbours and ladders!

Gemma comments: “Thunder’s always exploring and he has a cunning knack of getting Mark or I involved in his adventurous pursuits! I can’t believe that his adventures have landed him the crown of Britain’s Most Adventurous Cat, and us a trip to Africa – I’ll never complain about his antics again!”

Go-Cat spokesperson, Alison Ashman, says: “Thunder thoroughly deserves the title of Britain’s most adventurous cat. It was a tough call with so many stories of spirited felines, but Thunder definitely stood out from the crowd!”
She continues: “I’d just like to thank everyone who uploaded their videos and pictures and took the time to nominate their feline friends.”

Lucky Gemma and Mark will be jetting off to the wild African safari lands of Kenya for the chance to see really big adventurous cats in action. Plus, (Insert cat’s name) will enjoy a year’s supply of Go-Cat to help keep him/her full of vitality and to maintain his/her title as Britain’s most adventurous cat.

The selection process was lengthy and included a shortlist of twelve finalist cats, who were assessed and judged by a panel of judges, including animal behaviourist Professor Peter Neville.
