Bob: No Ordinary Cat

Product Information

They are the best of friends, and when James heads into Angel Island to busk, Bob always goes with him.

When he realised he wasn't going to find the owner, he released the cat back on to the street, hoping he'd find his own way home. When the cat was still there the following day and the day after that, Bowen became concerned and discovered the cat was wearing no collar or ID tag, was too thin, had a very unhealthy coat, scratches on its face and an infected wound on his leg. James's character shone out in the interview before the signing - London has taken him and Bob to its heart. Yet James couldn't resist helping the strikingly intelligent tom cat, whom he quickly christened Bob.
