Meet James Bowen, a homeless street musician, and his feline companion, Bob. When James meets Bob, he has no idea that their lives would be forever transformed and that their relationship would attract admirers from all over the world.
James had a challenging past as he faced and overcame drug addiction. Unfortunately, his family and friends abandoned him, and he was forced to live on the streets. He scavenged for food in the trash and tried to make money by busking on the sidewalks.
Then he came across Bob, a ginger cat that suddenly appeared in his life. In the hallway of his apartment building, he discovered Bob. Despite his difficult circumstances, James couldn’t resist this intelligent and ill cat.
Sharing a heartwarming story, James took it upon himself to care for a cat named Bob until the feline was back to health. He spared no expense in taking Bob to the vet and nursed him back to health. However, once Bob was better, James sent him off to find a new home. But to his surprise, Bob kept coming back to James. This made James realize that they were inseparable and he decided to keep Bob as his own.
James went to extreme lengths, including starving himself, to ensure that his friend was fed and had access to medicine. Bob joined James while busking on the streets of London, and they quickly gained fame. Crowds gathered around James and Bob, requesting photos with them.
Mary, a journalist, offers to write a book on James and Bob after their internet and media fame. James agrees and the book “A Street Cat Named Bob” becomes one of the best-selling novels in England for 52 weeks and is sold in 26 countries around the world, making it a global sensation.
In 2016, the director Roger Spottiswoode directed a movie adaptation of the book “A Street Cat Named Bob” by James Bowen. The film features Luke Treadaway, Ruta Gedmintas, Joanne Froggatt, Anthony Head, and Bob the Cat as himself. It premiered in London on November 3, 2016, and won the Best Film award at the UK National Film Awards in 2017.
