Did you ever think of traveling with your cat abroad? This week Michelle Fern chats with Carrie Carter, author of Whiskers Abroad: Ashi and Audrey's Adventures in Japan, which immerses readers in an unforgettable tour of the land of the rising sun, where they can experience the culture, cuisine and countryside through the eyes of a wanderlust-filled human and her steadfast cat companion.


Author Carrie Carter has travelled to Japan 14 times, and she tapped into her real-world experiences to fill Whiskers Abroad with authenticity. Carter includes photographs of real places and travel tips to inspire other intrepid adventurers — with the added twist that Ashi, the cat, provides his own running commentary on the trip.
