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.

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. <p/>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.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Stellar...A beautiful, never maudlin story of second chances for both man and beast and a poignant testimony to how much caring for someone -- or some feline -- can give you renewed direction where you're down and out.
