Bob is an amazing cat who accompanies his best friend James on James' wanderings -- panhandling, visiting friends, and occasional grocery shopping. Everywhere they go together Bob gets attention and affection from total strangers. When James gets a job selling newspapers, and his own spot from which to sell them, Bob is the one who drags the buyers in with his soulful look and adorable manner.
James is a recovering addict, which begs the question of how a simple stray marmalade cat, who attaches himself to a down and outer like James, could possibly have saved the poor guy's life.
Read the book and see for yourself.
I so enjoyed this non-fiction story. It was a healthy break from all the true crime and psychological suspense stories I usually read. I understand Bob has become quite famous now, thanks to this book and its publicity. Good for him!!
