Travel Cat spotted in: Bangkok, Thailand.

This week's world wandering kitty comes to us from the Bangkok equivalent to Central Park. Lumpini Park is large park in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the metropolis where it's common for the health-conscious to jog through the trees and along the banks of numerous lakes. Along with some random cats and birds, it's not hard to spot a large number of Komodo Dragons sunning themselves on the water's edge watching the world go by. Fortunately this cat is not afraid of dragons.

Travel Cat spotted in: Istanbul, Turkey.

This week's Travel Cat is from Instagrammer @aksakosha, who shares a very different perspective of a local cat in what we're coming to realize is like cat-city, Istanbul. His comment, "Доброе утро, сказал рыжий турецкий котик," translates to the very cute little message of, "'Good Morning,' said Turkish red cat."

This week's Travel Cat is from Megan Starr, an American expat living in Norway who frequently blogs about her travels in the reaches of Northern Europe. She's currently off traveling in Belarus and tweeting and instagramming from this cold land of the hard to get visa.

This kitty cat, whom Megan tells us is named Rita, spends her life napping in various nooks of the Витебский Трактир bar in Vitebsk. If you'd like to drop in to say hello but aren't sure how to go about asking for directions to the bar with a cat, it has a direct Foursquare venue.

The Cat's Out of the Bag: How 'Grumpy Cat' Really Arrived to Austin for SXSW

We call bullsh*t on TMZ.

Earlier this week, attendees of Austin, Texas' SXSW festival and, by extension, the entire internet, got in a huge uproar over the VIP treatment and attention paid to one festival attendee in particular. That attendee was a cat—the meme-famous "Grumpy Cat."

Grumpy Cat (whose real name is "Tardar Sauce," or "Tard" for short), headed to Austin for several days to do some promo work for Friskies and pose with legions of adoring fans, some of whom waited in line for hours just to get a Facebook-worthy photo with the naturally frowny kitty.

TMZ pounced on the story, blowing it up with an "exclusive" in their characteristic way, claiming "Grumpy flew first class ... and she's been living it up ... with her own, full-time assistant to brush her, an endless supply of Friskies as well as other treats, bottled water and her very own room at a four-diamond hotel ... king-sized bed included."

Of the peculiar little one, she says: "the photo's not great, but the little guy gave some killer side-eye."

17 Travel Cats Sitting in Suitcases

Photo

As regular readers of Jaunted know, every Wednesday we take some time out to feature a Travel Cat, defined as a cat (usually a stray) who has found for himself somewhere awesome to live in this world. Maybe that's in Istanbul's Hagia Sophia or on St. Maarten's Maho Beach, these kitties sure have the life.

Submissions for Travel Cat come to us via Twitter, email and--most importantly--Instagram, where we started the #TravelCat hashtag. Through this hashtag, Instagrammers share photos of cats they've spotted around the world, but there's also a lot right inside their own homes, apparently trying to go on vacation as well. We've gathered up all of these "armchair Travel Cats" in Buzzfeed-y style and, without further ado, here they are:

This week's Travel Cat is from Jaunted reader and Instagrammer @theangryskittle, who captured this idyllic scene.

Of the moment, he notes it was the "last tasting of the day," and apparently he's made a friend with whom to pass a gray day in the winter vineyard.
