Bob is, not surprisingly, the real gem of this work of non-fiction, which is why he’s featured so prominently on the cover. If you’re new, I’ll give you a clue: its got four legs, and is super cute and furry. If you follow this blog regularly, it will be pretty obvious to you why this book appeals to me. Having a pet helped him get clean and make more money busking because apparently having an animal that’s as clever and sociable as Bob really makes people more generous. Basically Bowen struggled with drugs, he was homeless, and came across this stray cat “Bob” who became a his unflappable companion. Honestly though I didn’t even have to watch the movie to catch on to what happened in the first book. ![]() I didn’t, I just watched the movie on Netflix (yes, it’s available on Canadian Netflix!). This most recent book includes more tales of the famous duo, plus the development of Bowen’s book deal which changed his life forever.įor the record, you don’t have to read the first book to understand this second one. This memoir is the sequel to Bowen’s first book A Street Cat Named Bob, which details the beginnings of his friendship with the special cat. A fellow book blogger had reviewed a ‘Bob the Cat’ book a few weeks ago (sorry I can’t find the post again!), and it prompted me to track down The World According to Bob, The Further Adventures of One Man and His Street-Wise Catby James Bowen. ![]()
