Henrietta was an ordinary New York City cat until she ventured overseas with foreign correspondent Christopher S. Wren and his wife and children. Over seventeen years and tens of thousands of miles, she became a plucky, indispensable companion for the reporter as he covered world events in Moscow, Cairo, Beijing, Ottawa, and Johannesburg.Wrens often hilarious and sometimes poignant account of an American familys adventures crisscrossing the globe shows them coping with chaos in faraway places always with the help of their everresourceful feline. The result is a charming tale about a spunky, curious pet who earned the right to be ranked among the worlds most widely traveled cats.
