I must admit, I shed a few tears watching this. Ignore the haters. It's a beautiful thing when humans and animals come together like this. These men and their cats are true heroes, and it gives me hope for the future of the human race. Thank you.
Came across this when searching for avalanche rescue videos and it took me almost 2 minutes to realize what the eff was going on 😂 10/10. Will be recommending and cant believe I've never seen this before!
Saw this video for the first time at the Banff Film Festival at Cal Tech. That was a couple years ago and I'm still telling people about it. We tease our cats- "you want to be a CARCA kitty?" Very funny, very clever! Thanks for the laughs!
This video is absolutely great!! We have been sharing it in our Spanish list since we found it, some years ago. Now we still love sharing it from time to time. Of course in our special " Holy Innocents' Day" ;-)
When the guy said the cat can search much quicker than a dog in a football field with the growling of the cat, I knew an attack was going to happen to him! I knew this could NOT possibly be real. Funny video
The only reason I know of this video's existence is because my middle school film teacher helped make it Correction: he wrote, filmed, directed, and produced it
I think those red dot laser thingies should be added to the standard safety wear for all skiers. It would give the cats something else to home in on. Also, maybe roll yourself in smelt before skiing? The particular fish odour you chose could rapidly become a fashion statement (Dude, swordfish, really? That's, like, not even last season, dude. You ride ahead.)
Hey CARCA, I recently saw a video on the use of wolverines in avalanche rescue. Do you think there could be potential for a cat and wolverine rescue coalition? I could see utilizing a wolverine as a sort of live cat deployment mechanism being highly effective. This could potentially be useful at backcountry lodges or within the highways control department couldn't it? Thanks for all your hard work in developing feline heroes to keep the mountains safe!
@@kademasterson9705 no way!! Avalanche technicians all over the World have had to use what they have, and in Fernie (British Columbia, Canada) they have a long history of using service cats. Search and rescue teams in the Andes mountains have been employing teams of tactically trained Pumas for...some time now. Not to forgotten are the storied Avalanche Camels of the Turkish alpine destinations in Uludag Ski Resort, Bursa · Erciyes Ski Resort, Kayseri · Palandoken Ski Resort, Erzurum · AND Sarikamis Ski Resort, Kars. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, but sometimes the truth is stranger than you’d expect. I’ve heard that Whitewater has a team of Maine Coon cats at the ready, it’s great to see that these incredible animals get the recognition they deserve as life savers.
Cuzzzzzzz you’re a creative genius, a true visionary a gentlemen and a scholar !!! I just remembered this video and sent to Jenna and Brody - beyond hilarious miss you sooooo much let’s talk soon pleeeeeease love youuuuuu #carcaclique #clubyellowstone4life xoxo ~J
2:37 That cat kept telling him "stop petting me" over and over but he didn't stop. So he got what was coming to him. Everyone knows you can train a cat, no way, no how. Look at 5:11, that cat hasn't a clue what is going on. He was't it's bed and a fire.
An attention-grabbing spoof video, I'd say. It's pretty sad that some people below take this literally. That said, thanks to the committed people who do the avalanche safety and rescue work.
I refuse to ski with a piece of salmon on my jacket just so a Rescue Cat can find my body. Magpies might attack me on the lift! Just no way! I could carry peanuts so if you guys train squirrels.....
Yo im all for this but the main coo. I have one there perfect for snowy enviroments they have very thick fur and thick padded feet there built for snow i would look into it carca if you read this
I love this!!! But I can't quite tell if this is real. I love my cat and he's smart but I wouldn't rely on him wanting to find me. Update: the end answered my question.....
Absolutely genius! Wondering if you could train my 2 cats as we are experiencing an overabundance of snowfall...also I have a parrot you might be interested in training also. ..feel free to contact me at your convenience. pmpl0007
It's a real shame this is a scam, cats are highly trainable and can do a lot of things dogs can. I know of electricians that use cats to take their wires through flooring, cats that do agility as well as any dog. You never know at some point in time they may well do search and rescue with a nice bit of catnip as a reward.
I would just be a little happier to see a dog rescue me than a cat I just feel like a dog would be faster the dogs don't have to be on a leash the cat just looked really uncomfortable as well

Well you're just a ray of sunshine on her parade aren't you.
Are you fucking for real? Did you even watch the video
M Sal yea I did, you don't need to be a rainy day on her parade tho
SpiralBlue cats are worthless

I had the privilege of meeting this legend once.
Truly inspiring! Thank you for your service, Search Cat Tim. ❤

Had me going right up to the avalanche cannon! Loved the imagination and story line.

🐱You have successfully entertained both me and my cat. Yes, he sat watching this with me.
As a former cat operator or shall I say groomer from Lake Louise and Marmot and a cat lover, I say very very funny.
This is hilarious. Great video, good job. This is definitely viral material.

I will stick with my Avalanche Poodle, thank you very much.
LOL, loved the Rapid cat deployment technology !
I was watching this while i had 3 sleeping people around me......they are all awake now because i started laughing so hard 😂😂😂😂
amazing video! I remember seeing this before it came out on youtube and to the Film festival and finally after like a year its on!
I saw this originally saw this 8 years ago. Just watched it again. Funnier now. Really good job. Hilarious.
Is it wrong that I now want to move to Canada with my cat and get her a job?

Cat cannon is genius, they always land on their feet, hahah

Yes, that was tested out once, but all the cats got eaten.
He’s a cutie. The rescue cat and the trainer.
Imagine being rescued and then everyone is more excited a cat did a rescue instead of you being not dead 🤣
Okay as i was typing that, WTF was that ending 😂🤣😂🤣

*gentleman
Out of the way!
I got Tim guys! It's all good. :3
You are so funny, I love some Canadian humour! Your winter seasons must be lost of fun!... maybe see you guys at the ISSW next year!
Keep up the good work guys, I believe in you guys and cats
#joke
I love it!
Even my malamute approves! (Hey, anything that lets him keep sleeping on the sofa is aces with him!)
I haven't laughed so hard in ages! Cat cannon!
Is it only Canada and Scandinavia that have avalanche cats?
Next time you go skiing, don't forget to get some whiskas to increase your chances of surviving in an avalanche.

Except for Snowflake at the begining, those Canadian cats are pretty mellow, eh? Have you seen Gary the Cat?
This is why Canadian ski clothing like Arcteryx includes not just Recco reflectors but also little pouches of catnip
Why don't you get a kitty backpack for him?
When are we getting more?
how do I train my cat like this? i think my cat had potential to be CARCA material.
Awesome! I can't wait to put my cat in training.
hello? anybody here? I've been stuck in the snow for 7 years. can anyone help me!
Did kitty survive the blast? Very funny, I laughed so hard!. Great to see you are thinking "outside the box" and saving lives! I liked your video.
Malgorzata Maher its fake
@@xxrang3r904 what? You mean that there’s no such thing as "Avi-Cats"? I’m bamboozled! How do you explain the cat cannon atop the Coquihalla?
@@frufru0071 That doesn't officially fire cats into avalanche zones. Unofficially, hey whatever gets the job done.
well, maybe not a cannon but.. a drone deployment kit would be awesome :)
my film teacher made this its great
AWESOME!!
Omg! That was really funny guys.
Very funny and well done guys.I started a program with pigs to save drowning victims... It didn't work out well though...
❤...and cat whiskers sensing movement.
🐈 🐈⬛️ cat kitten🐅 🧶
Omg !!!! 😺😺 hilarious
"Loading cat" 🤣
LOL, that was awesome!
you guys realize that the canon is fake.... right?
Is this real?
fun and thank you!
❤❤❤ by indonesia
Awesome! :)
Yo im all for this but the main coo. I have one there perfect for snowy enviroments they have very thick fur and thick padded feet there built for snow i would look into it carca if you read this
wtf happened towards the end !
lol @ "rapid cat deployment"
That's one pissed off cat!
This would actually work if every avalanche victim carried tuna.
Can’t tell if this was a joke or not
Amazing
And... a portable "cat scan"
My cat slept through the whole show. Lazy cat. She's 24.
7:36 I died
Is the cat that was shot by the cannon thing real?!?!
Sabrina Maisha yes.
awesome
The latest in avalanche rescue techniques...
Haha well done !
The avalanche area is so , so trampled.
Must have been all those fumbling dogs. Amateurs!
Hilarious 😂🤣😂🤣
I love this!!! But I can't quite tell if this is real. I love my cat and he's smart but I wouldn't rely on him wanting to find me.
Update: the end answered my question.....
Hooman, why you do dis??? What is this white, cold, water stuff??
Cannon cat could benefit from a discarding sabot.
What have I just watched 🤣
Somebody please tell me this is a joke
How pissed is that cat
I can't believe all the comments from people who actually think this is real!!!
@@ChrisBradley-o9yoh its real lol
polar panthers are real on av
Stupid people you have a either nervous or mad cat I laughed when the cat attacked him
Absolutely genius! Wondering if you could train my 2 cats as we are experiencing an overabundance of snowfall...also I have a parrot you might be interested in training also. ..feel free to contact me at your convenience. pmpl0007
Obviously this is old school. The latest evolution in rescue animals is the "avi clam". Just throw them out on the debris field and stand back.
Pffft cats a paid actor
i dont understand why u 'send away' the cat with the 'canon gun'? how could u...i just not feel good hear his scream...

Yeah I hope that was photo shopped hope that didn’t really happen
😂😂😂 great video. Can someone tell me if the cat in the cannon was real? I hope to God it wasnt.
hilarious!!!
Unfortunately some TilTok dummies will launch a real cat like a pumpkin.
I would just be a little happier to see a dog rescue me than a cat I just feel like a dog would be faster the dogs don't have to be on a leash the cat just looked really uncomfortable as well
He's my teacher
Wow
ha ha. that was stupid. but entertaining. At least the pro patrol dude was hot
I am indicating hahahaha
OMG!
OMG THE COMMENT A OF PEOPLE THINKING ITS REAL!!!! GOOD GOD! STEP AWAY FROM THE COMPUTERS!
what! kiki show you fur real
La fin et con le chat dans un canon es que ces drole non
