About this product

Product Information

'Since Bob had appeared, I'd made huge strides in my life. For more than a decade I'd been a homeless drug addict. I'd been lost to the world and forgotten what was important in life. Now I'd got myself back on my two feet, but as I put the past behind me, I was still stepping unsteadily into the future. I still needed help in the right direction. Bob was always there to offer guidance and friendship.' James and his street cat Bob have been on a remarkable journey together. In the years since their story ended in the bestselling A Street Cat Named Bob, James, with Bob's help, has begun to find his way back to the real world. Almost every day, Bob provides moments of intelligence, bravery and humour, at the same time opening his human friend's eyes to important truths about friendship, loyalty, trust - and the meaning of happiness. In the continuing tale of their life together James shows the many ways in which Bob has been his protector and guardian angel through times of illness, hardship, even life-threatening danger. And as they high five together for their crowds of admirers, James knows that the tricks he's taught Bob are nothing compared to the lessons he's learnt from his street-wise cat.

  • Covers much more detail than the film Compelling story of hope

    These two books together cover the first couple of years that recovering addict James & his streetwise cat Bob spend together & give an honest insight into the struggles of homeless people & animals on the streets of this country & indeed around the world. The story swings the reader's emotions from the depth of sadness at the plight of the anonymous existence of the homeless to the light-hearted moments when Bob lifts the spirits with his antics & James's progress gives a little hope for the future. I look forward to reading more about their life together A must read for animal lovers & those who care about the lost & lonely in our world.

  • A wonderful story...

    It's so touching to read about James and his soulmate cat, Bob. I was already aware of them and have two of the books in the series. Bought this one as well as I wanted a further keepsake of Bob - James has recently lost him and he is heartbroken (as any animal lover will know...). I enjoy 'real life' stories and this book is just that!! Such a special little cat with a wonderful, kind-hearted 'Dad'...

  • Awesome

    I just love this book just as much as the 1st one "a street cat names bob". If you love cats and stories about unconditional love this is definitely worth your time. It's based on true events so you so if you want to find out more theres stories / videos online

  • Lovely Book

    As a cat owner I can fully appreciate the reliance on a pet as an inspiration. Bob has enabled this man to turn his life around and create a dependency on each other.

  • Top Cat

    Watched the guy with Bob on tv interviews and read the book,then watched the dvd now onto this ! A brilliant true story that must touch everyone with its honesty and reaffirms my own belief that I would trust any animal rather than most human beings. Wonderful book
