A CAT has become the first feline to conquer the Three Peaks.

Louis the Persian made history as it became the first cat to climb the highest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales.

Alongside his owners Jess Peters and Dan Taylor, the seven year old spent 29 hours walking up Scafell Pike, Ben Nevis and Snowdon - and wasn't carried.

Ms Peters, 31, and Mr Taylor, 34, walked with Louis while he was on a lead and made it to the summit each time.

The couple, from Sherfield English, said their pet was "better prepared than we were" as they revealed Louis walks a staggering six miles a day.

The pair said their cat is "a bit like a dog" in that regard because he "loves adventures".

Mr Taylor, a truck-driver-in-training, said: "There are other cats that have climbed mountains, but we have checked and Louis is the first cat to climb the Three Peaks. It feels great to have him immortalised, hopefully he goes down in history."

Louis completed his third and final mountain on Saturday when he summited Scafell Pike, in the Lake District.

He climbed Ben Nevis, in the Grampian mountain range in Scotland, over the August bank holiday and summited Welsh mountain Snowdon in May.

Mr Taylor said him and Miss Peters, an aerospace engineer and author, also love to hike and had the idea to take their adventurous pet with them.

Mr Taylor said: "When we we first did Snowdon we thought it would be quite funny to take him with us because he loves adventures. He's out walking every day, he does an average of five to six miles every day.

"We keep a tracker on him to monitor him - he goes out and about, anywhere that interests him, or sometimes climbs up a tree. He was better prepared for these mountains than we were."

Mr Taylor added: "For these walks he's got his harness and a lead. He does have a few different outfits and a coat too.

"We prepared his water and food and took a blanket in case he got cold.

"For Snowdon and Ben Nevis we had miserable weather, but luckily for Scafell Pike it was beautiful.

"Being a cat, he loves to wander off. While we were climbing he would see something that interested him and head over there.

"We were led by him but when he spent too long we made sure he got back on track."

Snowdon took eight hours, Ben Nevis took 11 hours, and Scafell Pike took 10 hours.

"Everyone was so shocked to see a cat climbing a mountain," Mr Taylor said.

"We would get stopped by everyone as we were walking up, so that added on loads of time.

"It got to the point where people would stop and ask 'oh my god is that a cat?' and I joked 'no, it's a penguin'.

"He has done so well but did get a little tired, we had to have a cat nap at times."

Mr Taylor said they will now plan a new adventure for Louis.
