Cool cat Chiquinho born to ride

This moggy is the best pal a biker could hope for. Chiquinho, Brazil's answer to Garfield, always rides on his owner's motorbike.

The 12-year-old wears a cool pair of shades as he zooms around on the bike and has been somewhat of a local celebrity in Rio de Janeiro.

His owner Alexandre Goulart posts hilarious videos on his YouTube channel of him and his 'gato' Chiquinho blissfully biking about.

If you want to know what it is like to ride a motorcycle behind a cat, the videos make for essential watching.

Some videos show the cat looks for traffic whenever they come to a stop, and is unfazed by high speeds.

When he's not on a bike, the cat likes to lie on his back to soak up the sun, exposing his plump belly.

Goulhart told Globo.com that the diet of his plump cat includes a basic ration of yogurt, beetroot and steamed carrots.

The father-of-four continued: "I've looked for a meaning in life without Chiquinho, not found. It's the love of my life. I ask God to give many years of life to him.

"Chiquinho is the king of São Conrado."

His owner takes the cat everywhere during his daily routine.

The cat comes with him to church, the shops, the beach and the pizzeria.

Chiquinho also demands a daily walk down the sandy shores of their nearby beach.

He is definitely the coolest cat in Brazil, if not the world.
