Bob the Cat and James

Bob and James have become quite well known around London in the last few years.  James is a homeless man, living in a hostel, who befriended Bob when he found him injured.  They have now written a book, which is being launched at Waterstones in Islington on Tuesday 13th March. Their regular pitch is outside Angel Tube, in Islington but they are often to be seen around Covent Garden. I first noticed them years ago when Bob was trotting along beside James, a most unusual sight.  Since then I have met them in various places including, a few weeks ago, on the 38 bus. It's a most heartwarming story and I hope James and Bob will have many more happy years together.
