That must be the most pro-cycling cat ever. It started as a tiny motherless kitten, and it has such a lot of faith in the guy as its replacement mother. The bond between me and my cat is similar, although we didn't meet until she was about 8 months old and living in a market. She likes travelling because of the ever-changing view. Her favourite is the bus - the view out of the window just blows her little mind.
As you say, the touring essentials just keep adding up to more weight and bulk. Your rig looks superb. Do you have tent etc in there? How much weight does the load add to the bike?

I've been going for a weight weenie-ish touring set up but less mad and less cats. Really impressed with the Tailfin aero pack, not tried it with the thruaxle on my carbon TCR but have no qualms about it being spot on in that set up too. I've got a couple of the 5L mini panniers for it to force carrying less somewhat.
Again, no cat. :(
P.S. Being new to the whole light weight touring game its amazing and also sometimes concerning how much space the bare essentials for multi week/month touring add up. Even with some of the smallest and lightest gear on the market.
