Saw it today, bought it on kindle and read it over the afternoon! Don't recall where I saw the book cover early this morning, but I fell in love with Bob's picture and bought the Kindle edition. Downloaded it, got sucked in reading the first few pages and didn't put it down until I'd finished reading it a few hours later.I laughed out loud and had tears running down my cheeks as I read their very touching and heart-warming story and I hated that the book had to end.Thanks for sharing your stories with us, James and Bob!All the best.halTwoBigCats.

Great book, made me laugh and cry, and I, a lifetime lover and "owner" of cats, was enthralled and delighted and sad and happy. Most of all, I am so happy for James! That Bob has made such a huge difference--and animals do, as they are God's gifts to us--is wonderful, and I pray you, James, continue to grow and thrive and be blessed. Jesus loves you! Thanks for sharing your amazing story and kisses to Bob. :) This is my cat, Ari (his name means Lion) and he has been harness and leased trained since
Bob became an instant attraction, and the result was increased income for Bowen as more money was tossed into his guitar case. From Booklist *Starred Review* Books abound on the subject of how a dog or a cat can rehabilitate a person’s life, but this account of such an event is stellar. This is 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 when you’re down and out.
