The World According to Bob

The Further Adventures of One Man and His Street-wise Cat

By: James Bowen

Narrated by: Kristopher Milnes

Since Bob has appeared, I've made huge strides in my life. For more than a decade I was a homeless drug addict. I was lost to the world and had forgotten what was important in life. Now I've got myself back on my two feet, but as I put the past behind me, I'm still stepping unsteadily into the future. I still need help in the right direction. Bob is 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 best-selling 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. 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.

It takes a companion to succeed through life

As scarred as the author was from his missteps in life, hope came dressed in fur.

Fulfilling

Another great story about Bob - a lucky cat and lucky person who found him. A wonderful gift for both. It is amazing how there can be such connections between a cat (or other animal) and humans. A fulfilling and enjoyable read!

Lovely Story

I can’t imagine the trials and tribulations of James Bowen. But, as someone who has had several feline friends through the years, I know how much cats can change our lives. All the cats I’ve had (Eliot, Ness, Lucy, Spenser and Penny) surely rescued me. I got the better end of the relationship deal I had with each. My grandmother used to say she wanted to come back as one of my cats because she knew how well cared for my furry friends were. That always made me smile. Still, they gave so much more to me that helped instill in me how important it is to treat everyone – both those with two legs or four – with love and kindness. Cars teach us so much.. What a gift!

very uplifting story

listening to this story really made me think, treat everyone with respect, do not look.down at people who are homejess and have nothing or barely have anything. buy them food as well.as their animals if they have animals. very inspiring story. Be thankful for what you have, little thibgs in life thst are important

sad to.hear Bob passed away, he was definitely a character. Rest in peace Bob Cat. hope you are doing well still and staying off the streets Mr
Bowan.

Bob and James: the Magic of Love

In the first book of this series, A Street Cat Bamed Bob, James Bowen struggles through dark days of escaping his dependence on drugs and living on the street when a ginger tom enters his life. Slowly, the love of a unique cat, more soulmate than pet, begins to pull James from the shadows of depression and destitution. Their story continues in this second tale that takes them onward in James' quest for independence and security. They face ill will, thieves, and injustice and finally achieve public acclaim as James' first book about his remarkable feline sidekick becomes an international best seller.

If you love cats and their special relationship with us, you will be entranced with Bob. And maybe your faith in love (and karma) will be a little stronger too.
