  Based on the International Best Selling Book, A STREET CAT NAMED BOB is a moving and uplifting feel-good true story.
  
  When James Bowen found an injured, ginger street cat curled up in the hallway of his
  sheltered accommodation, he had no idea just how much his life was about to change.
  James was living hand to mouth on the streets of London and the last thing he needed
  was a pet. Yet James couldn't resist helping the strikingly intelligent tom cat, whom
  he quickly christened Bob. He slowly nursed Bob back to health and then sent the cat
  on his way, imagining he would never see him again. But Bob had other ideas.
  
  Soon the two were inseparable and their diverse, comic and occasionally dangerous
  adventures would transform both their lives, slowly healing the scars of each other's
  troubled pasts.
