Well, this athletic cat isn't the only one who has earned fame and respect on social media recently.

Last week, a 12-year-old cat named Monty proved the age-old proverb 'cats have nine lives' with an incredible survival feat that sounds like the plot of a thriller movie.

The feline was reportedly locked inside a shipping container for nearly two months without any food or water. He is thought to have survived by eating spiders and licking condensation off the container walls.

Seven weeks after Monty went missing, the couple had given up hope finding him. But the day Beverly returned to her office, she received a message from her friend about Monty's whereabouts.

He managed to get himself locked in a shipping container that was located just 200 metres away from his home. Soon after he was located, the couple didn't waste any time in reuniting with their beloved feline.
