Meet Our Friend Of The Week Vanessa

Vanessa Morgan

When you hear the word “cats”, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Does the face of a beloved pet come to mind? Do you think of a cozy, comfort-loving creature curled up on your bed, on your favorite reading spot, in the middle of your lap? Or, perhaps, does your mind go to a stray cat who’s crossed your path and somehow managed to nudge their way into your lives?

Vanessa Morgan, our Friend Of The Week, finds it hard to get the amazing feline faces she meets out of her head. That’s why she founded Traveling Cats – an amazing blog that contains the photos of every cat she’s met during her travels around the world for the past 15 years (plus submissions from her readers as well!)

Few people think about animals when they’re planning a vacation – but Traveling Cats is a fascinating site that not only contains the largest collection of travel pictures of cats, but is also considered the first online destination for travelers searching for cat-related activities. Vanessa is so passionate about this project, that she eventually quit her teaching job to pursue Traveling Cats full time.

Vanessa writes:

It’s an interesting project on many levels. The pictures are not just about the cats, but they also give a good impression of the cities and countries in which those pictures were taken. Also, whereas in some parts of the world cats look like little divas, in others they are unkempt, poor creatures.

Agatha

Vanessa’s photos are stunning and her stories of her subjects are fascinating as well. One recent armchair adventure I particularly enjoyed was her trip to Shakespeare and Company, a two-story bookstore in France, where she introduced us to Agatha – a former stray tabby who now captures the hearts of every booklover she meets. You’ll find more breathtaking photos of Agatha and more fascinating history about this shop at Cat From Paris France.

Comments mean the world to bloggers. Won’t you brighten Vanessa’s day by dropping by her blog, introducing yourself, leaving a little comment love, and congratulating Vanessa for being our Friend of the Week at Create With Joy?

  1. Thanks for hosting this great link up. I would most love to travel to either Italy, France or Greece.

    In the meanwhile I do love travelling around my own country, Australia and discovering new places I haven’t seen before.

    I’m not a traveler but I wouldn’t turn down a trip to Finland to stay in one of their igloo motel rooms under the northern lights. I have not even considered taking an animal themed trip. I can’t even imagine why anyone would do that so I’m headed over to Vanessa’s blog to get a whole new take on it!

    Have a wonderful weekend!

      I love animals Pam so wherever I go I often see if there is an animal sanctuary to visit or something animal related to do (but that’s just me!) An igloo motel? Now see, that’s a new concept to me! 🙂

  5. Have a great weekend! Thanks for all you do!

  6. Thanks for hosting and have a wonderful weekend

  7. Thanks for hosting and have a good week. I look forward to starting Friday visiting your party! I would love to have you visit one of mine.

  8. Hello!
    Thank you for hosting your linky party ~ I appreciate it! I’ve pinned some of the blog’s posts over on my Pinterest pages and have followed a few new blogs. Hope that helps some folks just starting out. Took me a bit to figure out how to link my Facebook page for French Ethereal but I finally got it ~ learn something new every day. 🙂
    Have a lovely weekend,
    Barb 🙂

  9. Not quite understanding if I’ve got this right, but I found your charming site through Beverly’s, and am linking it to LAWN TEA today.

    I hope to visit Scotland again soon—I’ve been but once, but it’s always been my Heart’s Home.

    Yes, I used to have a daily date to “walk” a three-year-old Grand-Tortoise up and down our sidewalk. He was big enough to cover a dinner-plate and almost as tall, so we had quite a few slow-downs and stoppers to gaze or meet him. We’d start out at the top of the drive, go s-l-o-w-l-y down the hill to the sidewalk, then turn right for about five houses before turning back for home. As long as I kept my feet gently between him and the curb verge, he would happily stroll along, dipping into the lawn for a little snack of grass, then making his way on down the block. It was sad when his own family reclaimed him, but he’s very happy in the warm weather down in Georgia.
