A Street Cat Named Bob - the book

The book which tells the moving, uplifiting true story of an unlikely friendship between a man on the streets and the ginger cat who adopts him and helps him heal his life.

When James Bowen found an injured, ginger street cat curled up in the hallway of his sheltered accommodation, he had no idea just how much his life was about to change. James was living hand to mouth on the streets of London and the last thing he needed was a pet.



Yet James couldn't resist helping the strikingly intelligent tom cat, whom he quickly christened Bob. He slowly nursed Bob back to health and then sent the cat on his way, imagining he would never see him again. But Bob had other ideas.



Soon the two were inseparable and their diverse, comic and occasionally dangerous adventures would transform both their lives, slowly healing the scars of each other's troubled pasts.



A Street Cat Named Bob is a moving and uplifting story that will touch the heart of anyone who reads it.

I recently read Bob and Jim's story, and it is so uplifting. Animals give unconditional love always, and it is heartwarming to see how Bob has changed Jim's life. Bob, you are a miracle, and Jim you are so blessed with him. Good luck to both of you in the future.
