Meet MJ, the tabby cat with four legs and two wheels. Philadelphia bike messenger Rudi Saldia has trained his little kitty to come along on deliveries. MJ (née: Mary Jane) now accompanies Rudi all over town, perching on his shoulder and surveying the streets.
“She enjoys seeing everything and having the wind blow in her ears,” Rudi grins. “Especially being an indoors cat, this is only her time outside. She’s grown to love it.”
Rudi initially made the video to show his mom that his cat could ride a bike. Since October, the YouTube spot has attracted over 1.2 million hits and praise from cat lovers everywhere. While he’s gotten some heat from viewers worried about the kitty’s safety, Rudi promises that he’s looking out for both himself and MJ when behind the handlebars.
MJ’s reply? YOLO. YOL9.
