In Jenny Goes to Sea, Greenwich Village-based black cat Jenny Linsky travels around the world on the good ship Sea Queen with her master, Captain Tinker, and her adopted brothers, tiger cat Edward, and black-and-white cat, Checkers. Once on board, they meet the adventurous ship's cat, Jack Tar. Leaving New York's harbor, they travel to Africa and Asia, and return through the Panama Canal. At each port they meet a colorful local cat who shows them around. Jenny and her pals have their fortunes told by an Abyssinian cat in Zanzibar, dance the sailor's hornpipe in Singapore with Bobo the Burmese, another ship's cat who was left behind, and float with Siamese cat Dara in a sampan boat on a Bangkok river on a most wonderful adventure. Includes color illustrations throughout
