Peter Mairhofer still seems to be in a good mood as sheep chase him down a mountain toward a lake. As he does, he calls out to his cat, Eddy, which is riding in a pack on his back, asking if the cat is doing OK. (The cat looks truly terrified, by the way.)
Mairhofer is a self-proclaimed “mountain boy,” and he’s also been dubbed “the happiest man on the internet.” The chase makes for a hilarious video thanks to Mairhofer’s accent, his funny exclamations as he runs, and his obvious concern for the white, fluffy cat on his back.

“So this horde of [sheep] was chasing us all the way down to the lake,” wrote Mairhofer in an Instagram post sharing the funny video. “I don’t know what was worse, knowing that down at the lake there is no running away anymore or running away at all. I was worried that they could do something to Eddy so I just kept running and running. Would you also run in this situation?”
The video has over 3.5 million views. The comments section is mostly just love for this jovial man and his kitty-cat.
“Cat in the backpack, walking stick, the accent, the beautiful scenery, the bells ringing, this is a masterpiece,” wrote one person in the comments section.
“Real life Disney Prince with Puss n Boots in a backpack,” wrote another.
