Nala's World: One man, his rescue cat and a bike ride around the globe

Product Information

While I’m all for providing stimulation and entertainment for cats, there’s always a part of me that gets really nervous when I watch videos of these intrepid explorer cats, and I worry about their safety. But as he began cycling she jumped out, clambered on to his shoulders, and promptly fell asleep around his neck. He couldn’t leave her to her fate, so he put her on his bike and then, with the help of local vets, nursed her back to health. With all the stress of the last few years, this book will give you the warmth and good feels that we all need. Nicholson’s account of what the peripatetic author Hermann Hesse termed “the life of a vagabond wholly free” is heart-warming and utterly charming.

Several things keep interrupting his journey, though being adopted by Nala was the best thing that happened for both of them. This book is written with humour, passion and honesty, it's suitable for all ages and can be enjoyed as a memoir but also as a love story between humans and animals, a tribute to those that go above and beyond for both, and the fundamental good in people, on a global level. This wasn’t only a test of physical endurance, it was also an attempt to escape the daily routine and to find fresh purpose in his life: “I hit the road to find a road. On the youtube channel you get to watch a cute cat and the biking is kind of hypnotic, but you don't have that with a book. Scampering along the road was “a scrappy wee thing” that fitted into the palm of his hand, with “sharply pointing ears, spindly legs and a thick tail”.

That must have been a year or so ago now and I've been hooked on seeing their adventures on Instagram ever since.

It is an engrossing book for the combination of adventure and highlighting an issue that doesn't get as much attention as it should.His biggest issues are when he needs to wait around in a scenic villa for several weeks to get the proper immunizations for his cat or recover from his latest injury that was made worse by him not listening to any doctor's instructions. You can tell it's been a rollercoaster of a journey and unexpected, but you can't help but smile at the pictures of a tattooed, bearded Scottish bloke riding with a tiny cat on his shoulder: the world loves them, it's well deserved, and it's uplifting to see the good they are doing.
