Harrison, Frederick. Travelling cat : a journey round Britain with Pugwash, London : Grafton,1989.

When Frederick Harrison sets out to travel around Britain for several months in a campervan, he decides to take a feline companion with him.  Having numerous cats hanging around his front door he selects one of them to keep him company on his trip.  Pugwash, the chosen one, was the most laid-back cat in town.  ‘A cat of rare qualities, he was the user-friendly, underachiever who actually sniffed flowers and enjoyed leaning against walls’ (Cortezhill, 2007).  Harrison tells of their adventures across the country with wit, warmth and a sense of the ridiculous, recalling the eccentricities of the locals that he and Pugwash encountered along the way, with entertaining photographs backing up some of the diverse locations they covered.  This book is immensely funny and has become a favourite amongst its readers.

There is a second book written by Harrison called – Travelling cat in Ireland, with further adventures of journeying with Pugwash.
