About this listen
The phenomenal number one best seller about best friends James and Bob. Now a major motion picture starring Luke Treadaway.
Shortlisted for: Popular Non-Fiction Book of the Year - Specsavers National Book Awards 2012
When James Bowen found an injured, ginger street cat curled up in the hallway of his sheltered accommodation, he had no idea just how much his life was about to change. James was living hand to mouth on the streets of London and the last thing he needed was a pet. Yet James couldn't resist helping the strikingly intelligent tom cat, whom he quickly christened Bob. He slowly nursed Bob back to health and then sent the cat on his way, imagining he would never see him again. But Bob had other ideas. Soon the two were inseparable and their diverse, comic and occasionally dangerous adventures would transform both their lives, slowly healing the scars of each other's troubled pasts. A Street Cat Named Bob is a moving and uplifting story that will touch the heart of anyone who hears it.

A simple tale but full of hope
what a lovely outcome for two characters stranded, each in their own little puddle of dejection... until they meet up.

loved the story. watch the Movie first.
I watched the movie on a flight, it was brilliant so I thought I would get the audio book. It is brilliant I love true stories and this is a great book and a good movie please watch the movie first. I feel that the movie can't do with an hour thirty what the book can do with 10+ hours but if you love cats your in for a treat with either or both of these good if different stories.

LOVED IT!!! This is the second time I've read it!
Love the story and the things about life and love and hope that James learned through his friendship with Bob. Bob is so smart! and he clearly knows he is a star and deserves every second of praise he gets 😂 he's got it and he knows it! The confidence cats can have is on a level no human could ever achieve. It's so pure yet powerful on an energetic level. I was gobsmacked when I read about how Bob figured out how to use the toilet! I often thought that he must be a reincarnation of Albert Einstein or another famous genius. He's certainly a prodigy as a cat!

Hi I'm Maren and I loved this book
I loved how it's so much like me and my cat and I love how it uses a bit of that sort of cursing language it just shows that it's not for kids and for people older and that's what I loved so much about this book☺️👍🏽

such an amazing story. truly uplifting and gives a great perspective of life for those on the streets and the power of a pet. my Ginger cat also had a great insight into when myself or the kids needed a little TLC from him
