Travis does not shy away from openly sharing his mental health struggles with depression and suicidal thoughts. Coming from California, he’d uprooted his wife and his cat, Sigrid, and planned to be here for the long haul. Software engineer Travis Nelson, 46, takes Sigrid with him when he explores the city, with the four-year-old cat attracting plenty of attention from passers-by. I went back and watched some older Tik Toks from 2022, and I found myself getting super excited to spot people like Zombie Punk who were mentioned in the book.

I appreciated Travis’ honesty in sharing details about his humble upbringing, his challenges with mental health, his frustration with the often-toxic corporate world, his general feelings of inadequacy and doubt, and the many negative ways his life (and our world) changed due to the Covid pandemic.

What started as Travis just documenting his exploration of his new city, soon became an internet sensation as everyone wanted to know what Sigrid was getting up to next.

I enjoyed reading Travis’ tale and discovering how a man from the Pacific Northwest had ended up in London with his wife and two gorgeous cats. He soon realised that Sigi wanted to go with him and he began filming their journeys and posting them on social media. British Soap Awards are CANCELLED: ITV make surprise announcement ceremony will not take place next year. Morgan's story is also the story of the other cats in his life including his brother Morris; and Scritch, the rescue cat from Cyprus. That's when we got to meet Travis and Sigrid, Sigrid is not just any cat, Sigrid is a Norwegian Forest cat, but with one thing different to others, Sigrid is deaf (which I found added more cuteness to him).Nelson takes us a candid journey through his humble upbringing in the states and charters us through his battles with employment, mental health, the Covid pandemic and the joys of being an ex pat of the USA living in London.

There are many cute anecdotes of Sigrid or "Sigi" and her bike rides, as well as detailed accounts of the many London routes travelled and people encountered, but I have to admit I found myself thinking "wouldn't it be more fun to simply watch these videos instead of just reading about them? Travis Nelson, 45, from San Francisco, was made redundant from his job as a software engineer last year, he began to take his four-year-old Norwegian forest cat, Sigrid, on bike rides. A clip shared on November 28 shows them riding around central London, negotiating the traffic - including a double-decker bus, as it gets dark.It was a delight to get to know the very personal story behind this unique social media personality and the beautiful, loving bond he shares with Sigrid. Our local pub, The Sir Richard Steele in Belsize, knows us well and we're often down there for pub quiz. Ewan listens to Izzy talk about finding Milo, how this sympathetic cat found out she was pregnant, how Milo first reacted when their baby came home, and how the whole family came together.
