I met James and Bob on the 73 bus years ago before he was approached to make the book. the book is brilliant . glad James is clean. Bob is fabulous :-)

What a special cat. He absolutely wants to be with James. Having something that you love and responsible for can make a big difference in your life. They help each other. Bob is precious! You go James, that kitty loves you.

James is so committed to getting his life together. An unbeatable combination: the give and take of unconditional love plus commitment and fidelity on the parts of both partners. Tremendous positive energy!

the first sign of a nice person is when animals seem to be attached and not afraid of them.

I took a photo of Bob at Angel Tube Station - both James and Bob were lovely, and it gave me a smile everytime i saw them together! xxxx

God sent him the cat!

What a wonderful idea - the thought that they saved one another, that Bob loved and cared for him when no one else gave a rat's a**; and he spent his last dime on medicine for Bob, by caring for someone else he learned to care for himself because he knew Bob was depending on him. Just a terrific idea. Love can do anything; Love can change the world.

I think cats have their own way of sensing human emotions. When I was in my darkest days, two of our cats always sleep under my bed which they do not usually do. I love them so much.

Just read the first book. It was such a worthwile read. My cat also "adopted" me. He sat under my window one night. He was dirty and very skinny. I had been wishing so badly for a blue british short hair but didn´t have the money. He was a BKH blue/white mix. He slept in my arm the very first night. When I had him chipped he sat on my arm. The Vet could not believe it. Sadly after 2,5 yrs. he died at approx 4,5 yrs from a bad cat virus which broke out. But as James said "Cats adopt people". So I am thankful for the time I had with the coolest and most friendly cat ever. An animal can change soooo much! Good luck to James&Bob and to everyone who takes care of an animal. Love Christina

The book has changed so much about the way I think and see things. I love my cats ten times more than I did, which I never thought possible. I used to think that people busking were just students or whoever trying to earn a little extra cash. Now I see it as their livelihoods. And I never really knew anything about the big issue. I'm ashamed of myself for the way I used to see things. I'm also more grateful to my parents than ever because without them I would be struggling to survive.

I’ve just watched the movie. Absolutely loved it!

RIP Bob. We love you James!

So touching how the cat saved you from your addiction. It just shows that animals are life savers. And like you say in the book, "cats choose you, not the other way around" and I just love ginger cats. :D

Awwwww!! That's the most special thing about cats, they give you unconditional love. I'm so happy this cat helped this man quit drugs, he's a golden angel!

Bob is a lovely cat. All the best to both him and James.

I've seen James and Bob many times in London and always leave feeling elated, with faith restored in humans. A lovely partnership and James clearly adores his cat!.

Sometimes when life is hard we need stories like this to give us hope. Life is just as hard for cats too im pleased it's worked out well for both of them

When I got my first cat I bought a book about cats as I had no idea how to care for their needs. The first chapter was how you acquire a cat. Gave several ways but usually they choose you. It said the first thing you need to know is when you get a cat, YOU are a guest in his or her home. LOL

That is Amazing And Good Story .It's by the grace I wish Jesus and Bob. God love Jemes Bowen and used this cat Bob will change James Bowen life.

I got this book as a Christmas gift and I have to say that it was the 2nd best gift because the best one was a abandoned starving cat that came to my door a few days ago. It makes us wonder about the importance of animals in our lives.

C Gray that's what melted me to James when reading the book, that he spent almost all his money, literally, to heal bob and do a good one for him. Certainly I think James couldn't have really cared well for Bob if he himself hadn't already been trying to work his life over, being on methadone and in a house by when he found bob, and I wonder if James realizes this, but I certainly love how they helped each other flourish

R.I.P Bob you will be truly missed sweet boy 😭😭❤️❤️

My dear 96 year old friend got the book as a gift from her sister in England and then lent it to me. I wish I had read it before visiting London from Canada in November as I would have looked for James and Bob. I loved the book and now have a better understanding and compassion for the homeless especially the ones who really have a talent or are trying to get a better life for themselves. Congratulations James on your book and your staying clean.

I love cats, so bought the book, it brought me to tears! It has really opened my eyes. I hope life on the streets is now a thing of the past for James and Bob. Truely amazing, i would love to meet them.

Come on, who can really believe that Bob was "just" a cat? He was an angel, a guide spirit sent from Heaven under the form of a beautiful cat to help this jung man during a very tough time of his life. And Bob is helping so many other people too. ❤ It's an amazing story and an amazing creature.

Wonderful book, wonderful writer, wonderful cat.

Congrats James, you had achieved in your life so much since you decided to say not to drugs and love your beautiful cat instead, as a nurse I've seen many times how drugs destroy the lives of people, thanks so much for sharing your amazing life with us, may the Lord keep you both safe & healthy for many years to come.

I remember watching James and Bob on This Morning at my grandparents' and being fascinated by their story. Coincidentally my grandparents bought me A Street Cat Named Bob for Christmas, and it is genuinely one of the most heartwarming and thought-provoking books I've read. Having also watched 'Bobcat and I' and other videos of Bob taken while James was still busking/selling the BI, I am so happy for both of them, and am glad that Bob managed to change a good man's life. Such an amazing story.

Cats adopt people. Very well said James Bob you are a super Star 🌟 Always will be remembered.

"Bob: No Ordinary Cat" is the first book. They are the same story as the "adult" novels without some gruesome details. For instance in the original book "A Street Cat Named Bob" he goes into quite a bit of details about Bob's injuries but in "Bob: No Ordinary Cat" he just talk about how Bob was hurt without describing every single wound. It's not a detail you need to understand the story. He just cleans it up so it is more suitable for young adults to read. In "A Street Cat Named Bob" there is some detail about food odors coming from a neighbors apartment and his description of the way the person was dressed is different. He mention those but not how dirty the clothes appeared. Just grubby details. With feeding Bob in "A Street Cat Named Bob" he specifically mentions feeding Bob Tuna and Milk and neither are good to feed a cat so he changes it to some nibbles or somethings that is true without teaching people it is OK to feed then such things by example. He did not know it was OK then and did not want younger people to think it was OK do to so like he did with Bob. The essential story about Bob and James is the same in either versions. Be it "A Street Cat Named Bob" or "Bob: No Ordinary Cat" and the same for "The World According to Bob" and "For the love of Bob". Same story different words in some places.

I watched movie and searched a lot of information about him and Bob. I love this story and I am really crazy about Bob. I am glad to know that he had second chance to change his life to be brighter

I've seen the film, and now I've read the books. Fabulous story that bought tears to my eyes. Well done James and bob.
