- CARCA has been hard at work since Steve Ruskay first decided to stand up to the dog dominated establishment. We now have teams on 4 continents and coverage in most of the major mountain ranges with more teams being activated as fast as we can train them. With demand for Feline rescue teams at an all-time high we thought it would be a good time to look back at our humble beginnings and remind ourselves what is possible when you combine vision and passion.
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!
Truly inspiring! Thank you for your service, Search Cat Tim. ❤
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.
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
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!
I had the privilege of meeting this legend once.
Had me going right up to the avalanche cannon! Loved the imagination and story line.
This is why Canadian ski clothing like Arcteryx includes not just Recco reflectors but also little pouches of catnip
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" ;-)
As a former cat operator or shall I say groomer from Lake Louise and Marmot and a cat lover, I say very very funny.
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
I will stick with my Avalanche Poodle, thank you very much.
🐱You have successfully entertained both me and my cat. Yes, he sat watching this with me.
This is hilarious. Great video, good job. This is definitely viral material.
How pissed is that cat
Cat cannon is genius, they always land on their feet, hahah
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 😂😂😂😂
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 saw this originally saw this 8 years ago. Just watched it again. Funnier now. Really good job. Hilarious.
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 😂🤣😂🤣
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 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.)
I love it!
He’s a cutie. The rescue cat and the trainer.
I haven't laughed so hard in ages! Cat cannon!
Out of the way!
I got Tim guys! It's all good. :3
Keep up the good work guys, I believe in you guys and cats
#joke
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!
Omg !!!! 😺😺 hilarious
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
*gentleman
"Loading cat" 🤣
Even my malamute approves! (Hey, anything that lets him keep sleeping on the sofa is aces with him!)
Is it wrong that I now want to move to Canada with my cat and get her a job?
❤...and cat whiskers sensing movement.
🐈 🐈⬛️ cat kitten🐅 🧶
awesome
Meow that's impressive
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.
Omg! That was really funny guys.
Next time you go skiing, don't forget to get some whiskas to increase your chances of surviving in an avalanche.
well, maybe not a cannon but.. a drone deployment kit would be awesome :)
Very funny and well done guys.I started a program with pigs to save drowning victims... It didn't work out well though...
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!
this isnt real, it just for fun
@@kademasterson9705 r/wooosh
@@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.
Yes, that was tested out once, but all the cats got eaten.
Awesome! I can't wait to put my cat in training.
7:36 I died
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.
Except for Snowflake at the begining, those Canadian cats are pretty mellow, eh? Have you seen Gary the Cat?
Is it only Canada and Scandinavia that have avalanche cats?
lol @ "rapid cat deployment"
LOL, that was awesome!
my film teacher made this its great
❤❤❤ by indonesia
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.....
fun and thank you!
Love it. What did you do to that cat to piss him off like that?
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.
Why don't you get a kitty backpack for him?
That's one pissed off cat!
When are we getting more?
And... a portable "cat scan"
Awesome! :)
Amazing
The latest in avalanche rescue techniques...
how do I train my cat like this? i think my cat had potential to be CARCA material.
hello? anybody here? I've been stuck in the snow for 7 years. can anyone help me!
you guys realize that the canon is fake.... right?
Haha well done !
My cat slept through the whole show. Lazy cat. She's 24.
This would actually work if every avalanche victim carried tuna.
Can’t tell if this was a joke or not
Is this real?
Cannon cat could benefit from a discarding sabot.
Hilarious 😂🤣😂🤣
What have I just watched 🤣
wtf happened towards the end !
The avalanche area is so , so trampled.
Must have been all those fumbling dogs. Amateurs!
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
hilarious!!!
polar panthers are real on av
I am indicating hahahaha
Wow
Yeah I hope that was photo shopped hope that didn’t really happen
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
OMG!
Pffft cats a paid actor
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.....
Unfortunately some TilTok dummies will launch a real cat like a pumpkin.
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.
He's my teacher
i dont understand why u 'send away' the cat with the 'canon gun'? how could u...i just not feel good hear his scream...
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
ha ha. that was stupid. but entertaining. At least the pro patrol dude was hot
Is the cat that was shot by the cannon thing real?!?!
Sabrina Maisha yes.
😂😂😂 great video. Can someone tell me if the cat in the cannon was real? I hope to God it wasnt.
Somebody please tell me this is a joke
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.
OMG lol
Hooman, why you do dis??? What is this white, cold, water stuff??
what! kiki show you fur real
Good work, eh?
Stupid people you have a either nervous or mad cat I laughed when the cat attacked him
