Update on their journey: the couple and the kitty are taking time off right now and starting a video production company in Colombia. They will continue their journey once they are ready 
. You can go to their Facebook to check out some of the videos they made.
—————————-
A pet cat is accompanying her owners in a mission to tour around the world by foot on a $2,000 budget per year for about two to three years. Since they can only stay in the U.S. for 85 days, they are walking about 20 miles per day to get their goal accomplished. The French couple and their cat started their trip in Florida, then were headed west to Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas.
The cat whose name is Kitty, is often seen resting in the backpack while the couple are hiking down the road. They even set up a little umbrella on the backpack to give the kitty some shade from the sun.
Kitty was found by the couple on a busy road when they were in Louisiana. She was very small, abandoned and alone. Initially the couple was going to find her a home, but very soon they decided to keep her because they had madly fallen in love. They took Kitty to the vet to receive shots and a physical checkup.
Kitty enjoys the trip as much as the couple. She often climbs on the shoulder of her daddy to get a good look at every new scenery. She does not seem to be shy or bashful about meeting new people or visiting a new place. The kitty is growing to be a world-class adventurous explorer, perhaps the first cat that gets to tour around the world.
The couple and their cat have attracted a plethora of local medias attention wherever they land. The kitty is never shy from the camera. You can tell from the video below that she is pretty comfortable with it.
Check out their photos of the journey.

Absolutely wonderful story,Kitty is adorable,hope you get to go all over the world.Happy hiking and safe trip, give a kiss to Kitty from me and Gemma ( my cat)
I love Kitty, I just got a kitty from a family
that took in a litter,that the mommy left at
their house. He is 2 mos., and so lovable and
smart I named him Mr. T, for trouble. He is
strictly indoor also, I hate the way people
leave their precious cats run and give them
no love. We can see Kitty is really loved!!!

Cats are wonderful, loving little creatures. I love that they seem to know what you are saying to them and respond with their quizzical looks, as if asking wheather you really meant that!! They are good and special little companions. I can see that Kitty fits my description (actually, they describe my own, Birdie and Putter).
This is too cool – makes me want to go hiking with all 6 cats I have – now that would be a site
Beautiful, heart warming story. Good luck.
Soooo, sweet! I hope you got a leash and a harness, so your kitty will be able to walk with you.
Love it!
Congratulations to Kitty’s Mum & Dad……your story is heart warming……Good Luck with your video venture….keep us all posted……

I love cats, but my little Maltese dog, Lacey, says: “No cats in MY yard!” However, my one daughter has tow beautiful Siamese cats, Candy and Mitzi – absolutely adorable.
All the best – have a safe journey!
Hello from Wanaka in New Zealand.
I love the story about your adventure and Kitty. I have rescued lots of cats around our property and managed to de-sex 60 cats and home 67 kittens over the past few years. It is wonderful to see the bond Kitty has with you and not just with a place but people.
Cats are fascinating animals and obviously Kitty loves you very much. A heart warming wonderful story. Good luck with your adventures.
Sharon ,You are so fabulous taking the effort and care to spay
and neuter all those cats and finding homes. So many people don’t want to bother actively doing something to help. The cats live
such a healthier life, ferals can really flourish physically when
relieved from the stress of constantly reproducing. Also so many of the kittens that end up in misery .
I am very active trapping spaying, etc . It is so rewarding and makes such a difference in the world. I really appreciate you.

The amazing travelling kitty!!! Maybe she will become the most widely travelled cat & set some kind of a new record?
I am glad her hoomans gave her love & umbrella – very thoughtful!!! Approve
