You’ve heard of Estonian Wife Carrying, now get ready for...Frestonian Cat Carrying!
Less popular than Pootte, the national sport, participants must carry their cats along a track that is officially measured to be 253.5 metres long, over a series of obstacles such as squeaky mice, laser pointers, and the sound of tuna can being opened. The cat carried may be your own, or your neighbour’s, or you may have found them further afield; the cat must, however, be over 2 years of age.
The winners take home the cat’s weight in pootatoes.
