How I learned to love my travel crate and travel with my two humans. I'm Princess Buttercup The Cat. I'm a keen observer – what else do I have to do all day long except sleep – and I break the age-old cat code of silence because I know my book by a cat about a cat with its cat humor is way better than any book by any human. I'm a with-it, outspoken, and witty black and white tuxedo cat with humility, compassion, and an attitude. To purr or not to purr, that is the question. 

My tell-all travel adventure with my two humans on a 5 day 4 night cross-country dash in the heat of summer – cat under a hot tin roof – includes many humorous anecdotes. I left my heart near San Francisco and I tell my story of my Road Trip #3 from my Pennsylvania home to my California home – California or bust. I highlight the perplexing behavior of humans in general and my humans in particular. Sometimes I listen to my humans and I share some of their experiences as well. 

Traveling 2,976 miles in 5 days and crossing 12 states is a grueling but enlightening experience. I stay in pet-friendly hotels where I get my own Princess Buttercup Luggage Cart. I describe my close encounter of the third kind with a Weimaraner (a breed of dog) in a hotel elevator. As a mile high kitty, I also stay in the Colorado home of my man human's brother along with 12 paws of the dog kind. I describe the behavior and challenges of the barkers and the local coyotes and rabbits. 

I give a cat's eye view, and wry comments from the comfort (?) of my crate, of the vastness and beauty of the USA, the "most celebrated section of the interstate highway system," the plains, deserts, mountains, buttes, and valleys, an abandoned stealth airplane, and Vegas, Baby! I go through a sandstorm, dust devils, tumbling tumbleweeds, thunderstorms – have you ever seen the rain comin down on a sunny day – and 111° F heat. I deal with leash management and eating on the road. 

My book is an easy and fun read and full of quips and feline insights about life, humans, cats, dogs, and more. It's also a how-to book about family travel with a cat. My humans, who took notes and typed my story, are authors themselves and seasoned travelers.
