A Street Cat Named Bob
Adult biography
If you are a cat lover, if you believe that some of our earth
angels, walk on four paws and chow down on Nine Lives or mouse au
natural, you will not want to miss out on James Bowen's A Street Cat
Named Bob And How He Saved My Life.
Bowen, a busker (street musician) and recovering drug addict,
had seen a striking looking ginger cat in the halls of his sheltered
living residence. Although drawn to the creature, he did not
immediately take him in. He was having a hard enough time taking care
of himself, never mind being respondible for another being.
In the long run Bob prevailed and inch by inch eased him into
Bowen's life. Offered a meal, he made himself quite to home in his
apartment. Bowen still did not see his new friend as a permanent
resident. After medical treatments and fattening up surely he would
move on. As if. Bob had found his home and family and dug in with
all four clawed paws.
As Bob and Bowen became a twosome, the cat gave the man
something no human could: hope that he could turn his life around.
If you love cats or just want to read a story that will make your
heart sing, you could not do better than A Street Cat Named Bob.
On a personal note, I read this book on a night so cold even the
inside of the traier felt like a refrigerator. Not surprisingly my
stub tail tuxedo cat Joey was cuddled up with me, his little head on
my shoulder, purring contentedly in my ear.
A great big shout out goes out to the faithful animal companions who
add souch to our lives.
