About this listen
Featuring SIGRID SPEAKS - find out what those hisses, miaows and purrs really mean!
When Travis Nelson arrived in London, he expected to embark on a new life and a new job. Coming from California, he'd uprooted his wife and his cat, Sigrid, and planned to be here for the long haul. Then Covid-19 struck. Travis's new job vanished as the company cut staff. For two years, and through successive lockdowns, he was stuck in limbo in an unfamiliar city, trying to find his way.
To keep himself occupied, Travis set out to discover his adoptive home. He bought a bike and began cycling through London's streets and parks with his unusual travelling companion, Sigrid - his deaf, Norwegian Forest cat - who came along for the ride. But what started as a way of injecting routine and purpose into Travis's life in stressful times, created an internet sensation. When Travis began posting videos of the pair's rides on social media, he drew in another community of people looking for moments of joy in an anxious world.
In this charming memoir, Travis charts his adventures with Sigrid. He unlocks a hidden London seen only from cyclist's viewpoint, as well as finding friendship and hope. Most of all, it is the story of one man's relationship with his feline companion - one that has given him direction and a sense of belonging at a time when he felt lost.

For anyone who has loved a pet
I found this to be an interesting and heartwarming book to listen to. It is not only about Siggy the cat, but also a frank account of her owner’s struggles and challenges, particularly during Covid. The reader does get to know Siggy well; her likes and dislikes (she likes wearing goggles on windy days when she and her owner, Travis, are on a bike ride and very much dislikes dogs). I think everyone could do with a Siggy in their life.
