Waxing Poetic – Featuring Bob The Street Cat

It's That Time Again!

Time to wax poetic over the marvels of our feline friends! And just to prove I'm not alone I 'll continue to post uplifting stories from other souls who've found the love of a cat to be life altering.

First, I'll wax poetic over my gang via photos from the past week (taken with my cell phone). Many of these photos end up on Instagram and I'll be attaching that account to the blog soon!

And now on to Bob The Street Cat

Bob the street cat sitting at the feet of James Bowen, his human companion, as James plays his guitar on the streets of London.

Bob is a British cat who is credited with saving the life of James Bowen, a musician and recovering drug addict. Truth be told, James also saved Bob's life and Bob has never forgotten it.

Bob the cat poses with James Bowen.

Bowen is blown away by the amount of love, loyalty and trust Bob gives to him, despite the fact he has had so many struggles in his life before meeting Bob. Bowen says

"If a cat can give that kind of love, why can't a human help in that kind of way. But people look the other way so often."

This touching story has been turned into a best selling book that I've just purchased. As one fan waiting in line to meet Bob and James in a bookstore remarked:

"A young man who lost his way and then found his way because of a cat...to me that is always going to be amazing."

This first video will fill you in on the history of Bob and James.

The marvelous video up next is shorter and features Bob "on tour" helping  James promote the book. The joy, the love, the happiness that one small creature has created is marvelous!

    What an incredibly wonderful story. I was amazed at how at easy Bob was will all the crowds on the streets an at the book signings. There must be a great deal of trust and love between James and Bob for them both to have come so far from where they were.

      That's what amazed me, too! They really are devoted to each other. I'll be reporting on what I think of the book after I've finished reading it!

    Best Cat Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a wonderful partnership James and Bob have. Having just finished reading "Bob - No Ordinary Cat" I just watched two video's on U-Tube. Very heartwarming to say the least. Best wishes for a long and healthy life together. From a Canadian fan with a long history of family cat lovers. :)
