The Cat with Three Passports is a heartwarming and witty travel memoir that follows C.J. Fentiman’s real-life adventure of living, working, and soul-searching in Japan—accompanied by her beloved rescue cat, Gershwin. Blending travelogue, cultural exploration, and personal growth, this charming story offers a unique glimpse into life as an expat in a country both dazzlingly modern and deeply rooted in tradition.
Set against the backdrop of Japan’s cherry blossoms, bullet trains, and quiet shrines, Fentiman reflects on the joys and challenges of adapting to a foreign culture while navigating her own inner journey. At the heart of it all is her feline companion, whose three passports and nine lives symbolize a sense of freedom and quiet resilience that mirrors her own.
"Japan didn’t just change my address—it changed my pace, my perspective, and perhaps even my purpose." — C.J. Fentiman
Perfect for lovers of travel memoirs, cat enthusiasts, or anyone contemplating a leap into the unknown, The Cat with Three Passports offers a thoughtful and often humorous look at what it means to truly feel at home—no matter where you are in the world. Fentiman’s storytelling is personal yet universal, reminding readers that sometimes, the most unexpected journeys are the ones that shape us the most.
This book will especially appeal to readers drawn to cross-cultural stories, minimalist living, or the quiet companionship animals provide during life’s biggest transitions.
