“The 30000 Mile Cat: Travels Across America” written by the author Ginnie L Hansen is the first installment in the continuing 30,000 Mile Cat series. This is a memoir that author has written based on her adventures while traveling with her husband Professor and their cat Trouble. Trouble is a colorful tortoiseshell cat who has once wandered into author’s flower garden. I appreciate Professor as inspite of being allergic to cats, he allowed Trouble to come inside their house. Since then, she has become a part of their lives. Since six years, Trouble has accompanied Ginnie and Professor on their summer vacation from Montana to Florida covering total 30000 Miles in 6 years.

Their car Trouble is a valued family member. Author and her husband who are adventure lovers used to fly by plane for their weekend vacations but once their cat entered their lives, it changed forever. They started to drive from their home in Florida to Montana since they couldn’t take the cat on plane.

Like author and her husband Professor, I am also a lifetime learner who crave for knowledge and new experiences. This book fit perfectly to my reading taste. Language of the book is simple so it was easy to understand. Cover photo of the book is nice. I enjoyed reading about author’s adventures while traveling and what changes they experienced in their life after Trouble entered their life. If you are a pet lover or an adventure lover then you couldn’t afford to miss to read this book.
