22,222 No-Hands Pogo Jumps! Joey Luthman Breaks World Record for Cats

Actor, filmmaker and animal advocate Joey Luthman has done it: 22,222 consecutive pogo-stick jumps with no hands, surpassing the existing Guinness World Records mark—pending official confirmation. The record attempt took place during Joey Jumps for Cats, a benefit supporting EveryCat Health Foundation and its work funding critical feline-health research. The event raised $1,194.50, with Joey continuing his larger mission to raise $1 million for the cause. In this Teens Wanna Know feature, Joey explains how his 45-day OneWheel journey from Santa Monica, California, to Maine’s Marshall Point Lighthouse inspired his next challenge—and how losing his cat to chronic kidney disease turned that challenge into a mission. We also speak with filmmakers Allisyn Snyder and Dylan Snyder, the team behind CAT MAN: Journey to Save Cat Kind. They reveal what it took to document Joey traveling across America at roughly 15 miles per hour, the emotionally difficult moments that did not make the final cut, and why feline medical research still has so far to go. As the filmmakers explain, a cat is not simply “a small dog.” Many treatments and discoveries developed for dogs do not transfer directly to cats, making feline-specific research essential.
