What a sweet story! And it’s all true. It wouldn’t be believable if it were fiction.

A recovering heroin addict, James, finds a cat on the streets of London. They become best friends. James names the cat Bob, and they go on to experience together a hand-to-mouth life. A STREET CAT NAMED BOB Is James’ account of those experiences until Bob becomes a famous cat on YouTube.

James says that, because of Bob, he has changed his life around. Bob gave him a purpose and a sense of responsibility.

If you shy away from books about animals because, in the end, they always die, don’t worry. Bob doesn’t die.

Also, if you enjoy movies based on books you have read, you’ll be glad to know that "A Street Cat Named Bob” is now a movie.
