Book Review: A Street Cat Named Bob

by James Bowen. 2012. Borrowed from my daughter. 
It is a true story about how one man and his cat found HOPE on the Streets of London.  Each cat has its own personality and can be quite individual; they choose their servants and are usually incrredibly loyal.  Bob is a blessing and helps 'healing' in more ways than one when he arrives in friendship.  They provide reciprocal support.   Bob needs to be looked after and gives James the need to care. It is a basic human need.  Eventually, even though James had tried to cease his addictions, Bob the Cat gives him 'un raison d'être', a reason to live LIFE. He encounters difficulties... well you would walking a cat through London. There are two more books and there is much online.  It's such a HAPPY STORY! A Beautiful Story of HOPE when people or cats are down on the luck.. and currently still devoted friends! 

My Big Feet is now 13 but she used to walk miles and was and is still quite traffic savvy. She used to regularly cross a busy street, trot across the pedestrian pavement of the bridge as she knew that was safer, cross the road again to get to The Common where she would hunt rabbits or moles and bring them home!  She has also followed my partner and I on two mile walks, even noting the two foxes playing their love dance in the field.  She has also travelled with a harness.
