Furry Feline Friend

My third book took place much nearer to home in the streets of London. ‘A Street Cat named Bob’ written by James Bowen.

This book I finished in a day, I could not put it down. For all those animal lovers which admittedly I have a certain soft spot for kittens…this book is the one for you! It is a true story of how a young man who busked on the streets of London got very lucky to find this furry feline friend and his life was changed for ever. Not only did Bob show him love, companionship, dedication, he also helped this young man make more of an earning for him to make a better life for the both of them.

At times, it truly makes you question the morality of people when it comes to the attitude and treatment of animals; however it opens your eyes up to be thankful for the people who truly are kind hearted for humans and animals too. There are a few follow up books after this one and I intend on getting my hands on them, this book was lent to me by someone close and I am so glad they did. It opens your eyes as to how valuable, lovable and even loving animals are. Bob is very clever and certainly represents how you don’t need a human to sleep next to at night to know that you have someone looking out for you. They say cats are intelligent, and after having met and grown to adore Bertie (my boyfriends’ cat) I have to say I agree.

A heart-warming feel good book which opens your mind to things you may never have considered before. In honesty, I hadn’t considered a lot of the things that were found in the pages of the book that unfortunately James experienced, hopefully one day I may have the pleasure of coming across these two partners.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to prepare for my next visit to see Bertie. I would like to give the little man a cuddle J
