The Adventures of Travel Cat: Morro de São Paulo, Brazil

Kitty cats. They rule the internet and, whether we realize it or not, pretty much the world too. Ever noticed how cats sometimes stake out the coolest spots in a city? This new feature—Travel Cat—focuses on exactly that. Submit a photo to be featured by tweeting or Instagramming it to us (details below).

Travel Cat spotted at: Morro de São Paulo, Brasil.

This week's Travel Cat comes from Instagrammer @dogstalkpoetry, who recently spotted this mustachioed friend in Brazil, though a little too late for Movember. She says of this Travel Cat: "Moustache Cat! Cat reminds me of Charlie Chaplin."

American Airlines Shows Off Upcoming New Seats Via Instagram

Last week we told you about the slurry of airlines using this year to refresh their aircraft cabins and service. Not a few days later, American Airlines dropped some major news as well, and they supplemented it with Instagram shots of the goods.

AA will take delivery of their first Boeing 777-300ER late this year and, from photos posted on Instagram last week, the big birds will look pretty flash on the inside. Since the airline is the first US carrier to take delivery of the shiny, new aircraft type, the introduction will surely be huge.

Four World Cities Make the Cut for New Foursquare Badges

London, Paris and Istanbul only just their own Foursquare badges, and now the location-based social networking app has gone even further afield with an additional four badges for more world cities. If you're traveling to New Orleans, Atlanta, Singapore or Sao Paulo, you're going to want to make sure you're not only hitting the top spots in the city, but that you're checking into them as well.

How to get the badges: First, follow 4sqCities, and just to be safe, it wouldn't hurt to also follow the individual city lists here: New Orleans, Atlanta, Singapore, Sao Paulo. Then travel to one or all of the cities and clickety-click to check-in to the places on the recommended lists. Five places earns the badge.

Now with a total of 8 city badges (a Chicago "Windy City" one has existed for a little longer than all the rest), Foursquare is still looking for more cities that deserve the creation of a badge and must-visit list. Suggest another city here.

Designer Diane Von Furstenberg's 'Journey of a Dress' Heads to Sao Paulo

Diane von Furstenberg is many great things—an iconic womenswear designer, a philanthropist, the President of the Council of Fashion Designers of America and a model for healthy living—but she is also a consummate world traveler (and travel tweeter). In fact, when she starred in recent American Express commercials, she credited experiencing the world with giving her the inspiration to create beautiful clothing and become a stronger, independent woman. We kind of love her, if you haven't already gotten that.

Thus, it's about time she launches her first store in South America, at the Iguatemi Center in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The grand opening of the boutique comes on Thursday night, when Diane herself hosts a huge Brazilian bash and also inaugurates the start of the Sao Paulo leg of the traveling exhibition "Journey of a Dress," curated by Vogue's Andre Leon Talley.
