Famous feline guides travelers at Swiss mountain

A Hungarian tourist was exploring mountains near the Swiss town of Gimmelwald when he got lost. Fortunately, a black-and-white cat appeared and led him back to his hostel, the Daily Mail reported Tuesday.

"It was the end of the ski season when I got to (the alpine village of) Lauterbrunnen, so the lifts weren't working and some of the trails were closed. So I followed a roundabout trail up the mountain, and then followed those ski lifts further, eventually getting to the top, where I decided to follow a train track into the middle of a totally empty town, Gimmelwald," said the man, who called himself sc4s2cg on Reddit.

"I was checking my map to see how I could get back to the hostel, and the only official way down was through a trail that was closed. That's how I met that handsome cat, who noticed me as I was eating a snack and resting my sprained ankle," he wrote on Reddit.

"As soon as I got up she started guiding me along some path... She kept looking at me to follow and led me straight to the path that would take me back down to the valley."

The man then shared his video of the cat. Other tourists who had climbed the mountain also shared photos of their own experiences with the feline guide.

The cat turned out to be owned by a couple who run a nearby hostel and it regularly joined travelers at the mountain. Endi
