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.
Wren's often hilarious and sometimes poignant account of an American family's adventures crisscrossing the globe shows them coping with chaos in faraway places -- always with the help of their ever-resourceful feline. The result is a charming tale about a spunky, curious pet who earned the right to be ranked among the world's most widely traveled cats.
Henrietta the cat becomes a plucky companion for journalist Christopher Wren and his family as they cover the world feline style.
Lesley Stahl I enjoyed every page, every country, every adventure: from Henrietta's catching mice and eating caviar in Moscow to prosciutto in Rome to getting lost in Cairo. Seeing the world through the perspective of a cat is somehow both enlightening and enriching. And fun. I loved it.
