A Street Cat Named Bob

And How He Saved My Life

De: James Bowen

Narrado por: Kristopher Milnes

When street musician James Bowen found an injured cat curled up in the hallway of his apartment building, he had no idea how much his life was about to change. James was living hand to mouth on the streets of London, barely making enough money to feed himself - the last thing he needed was a pet. Yet, James couldn't resist helping the strikingly intelligent, but very sick animal, whom he named Bob. He slowly nursed Bob back to health and then sent the cat on his way, never imagining that he would see him again. But Bob had other ideas.

James and Bob won my heart

What made the experience of listening to A Street Cat Named Bob the most enjoyable?

Knowing it is a true story! It restored my faith in the kindness of humans and willingness to sacrifice for our animal companions. Seeing how they reward our kindness with their love.

What did you like best about this story?

The way it proves "what goes around comes around." James used his last bit of money to help Bob and was rewarded by Bob helping him in more ways than one.

What about Kristopher Milnes’s performance did you like?

I did not realize he wasn't James Bowen. He sounds just like you would expect James to sound.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes even though I've never done that with any book.

Any additional comments?

I thought this was probably some little-known book! I did not find out until I finished listening to it that it had become a bestseller and a movie, videos were on You Tube, and it had a Facebook fan page. I was very happy to hear that it had brought fame and fortune to James and Bob. I feel it is well deserved.

A delightful redemptive story.

wonderful true story of a remarkable and loyal cat and how the love of and responsibility for this animal inspired a drug dependant, street performer to clean up his life and pick himself up out of the gutters.
