How One Dog Became a Cat Train Conductor

This is the story of a dog who found his true purpose in life - pulling his cat siblings around on a sled. But a challenge emerged when both cats wanted to ride at the same time.

The Original Cat Sledder

Leo the cat started this whole adventure. He never limited himself to just sleds, though. His passion for riding on moving objects began with the family's robot vacuum cleaner. From there, he moved up to skateboards and even riding on the dog camper himself.

A Dog Named Camper Steps Up

When winter arrived and snow covered the ground, cat dad Kevin took Leo out on a sled. Camper, the family dog, clearly wanted to join the fun. Kevin gave Camper a chance to pull the sled, and he turned out to be a natural at it!

Camper loved pulling the sled so much that he didn't want to stop when everyone went back inside. He even showed signs of jealousy whenever Leo rode on the vacuum without him.

Making Indoor Sledding Possible

The family got creative. They started attaching ropes and leashes to various objects around the house. It turns out Leo was happy to ride in almost anything Camper could pull.

Though everyone seemed content with their homemade sled setups, Kevin and cat mom Trisha wanted to do something extra special. For Christmas, they surprised their pets with a real snow sled.

The Cat Train Is Born

The pets loved their new sled so much they used it even when there wasn't any snow! Soon, Jack, the other cat in the family, wanted to join the fun too.

To make sure nobody had to wait for their turn, the single cat sled evolved into what the family now calls the "cat train." This special train doesn't run on any fixed schedule, but the passengers - Leo and Jack - seem very happy with the service provided by Conductor Camper.

A Household Full of Joy

What started as one cat's love for riding moving objects turned into a unique family activity. Camper found his calling as the official cat transportation specialist, and both Leo and Jack discovered the joy of being pulled around the house and yard.

The makeshift sleds, the Christmas gift, and now the cat train have created countless moments of happiness for this family of furry friends.
