The Instant New York Times bestseller! A Street Cat Named Bob is now a major motion picture, the film's all-star cast includes Luke Treadway (Unbroken, Clash of the Titans), Joanne Froggatt (Downton Abbey), and Ruta Gedmintas (The Borgias).

James is a street musician struggling to make ends meet.
Bob is a stray cat looking for somewhere warm to sleep.

When James and Bob meet, they forge a never-to-be-forgotten friendship that has been charming readers from Thailand to Turkey.

A Street Cat Named Bob is an international sensation, landing on the bestseller list in England for 52 consecutive weeks and selling in 26 countries around the world.

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, and 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, imagining that he would never see him again. But Bob had other ideas.

This instant classic about the power of love between man and animal has taken the world by storm and is a perfect gift book for cat lovers.

Great story, you won’t be disappointed! There’s something for all animal lovers!

Absolutely LOVE this true story. A wonderful book for animal and especially cat lovers. I had loaned out my previous copy to a friend and never got it back I was so happy to get another copy to reread. It’s undeniably heart warming. The healing powers of animal friendships are very real. We got our current cat after losing our two elderly cats to cancer. Our current cat is a rescue from a hoarding situation. She really needed us as much as we needed her. It has been truly a blessing for her and for us.

A beautiful story of love and second chances.

*The cat doesn’t die*This is an engaging, easily readable book. I fell in love with Bob and James immediately. If you love books about redemption and cats, this is the book for you. It’s a glimpse into street life in London, the terrors of addiction, and the kindness of strangers. It would be a good book club selection.
