Wow! If you are an Animal lover then you will be hooked on this beautiful tale (or should I say tail) about a man and his cat.
James' writing style, warmth and honesty makes this book what it is, a simple, heart-warming read from cover to cover.
James is a recovering drug addict and lives in sheltered accommodation. He comes home one day to find a scruffy, underfed ginger tom cat on the mat opposite his flat door. Thinking the cat may belong to someone he leaves it there for a few days, casually talking to it on his way to and from busking on the streets of London. Soon however, he realises that like him, this cat is homeless, and has nobody to call his own. He decides to take it upon himself to nurse the cat back to health, and spends his hard earned (and often little) cash on getting the cat back into good health. He names him Bob after a character in a favourite film of his about a Jekyll and Hyde character. The rest of the story progress's telling the tale of the many hilarious adventures and occasional upsetting incidents of these two soul mates. From busking, to Big Issue selling, you will not want to put this book down! Bob really does come alive in this book; after a chapter or two you will not think of him as a cat, he really does have a life, personality and heart of his own...and he even has his own waistcoat!
