A Street cat named Bob [and how he saved my life] /James Bowen / 279 pgs

James is a street musician struggling to make ends meet.  He is a recovering Heroin addict and living day-to-day.  Bob is a stray cat looking for somewhere warm to sleep.  James finds him on a neighbors door mat, injured and hungry and decides to nurse Bob back to health.  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.  Their journey started in London and ended up on youtube.  This is a feel good book at the end, but it had many trials along the way.  I learned about a way of life that was totally foreign to me.  Check out youtube and then check out the book.
