Can always send to the publisher or agent - he is doing his second book so would still be in contact with them.

Yep, it's a lovely story. I also met Bob and James at a book signing in Islington. Bob smiled at me (honest!).

It IS amazing isn't it?  Lets face it, much as we love them, cats can be pretty faithless beasts normally but Bob seems to know what that chap did for him and doesn't
want to leave his side.

Heart warming........................Sigh.....

They're getting famous - there was an article in today's Evening Standard about them.

I've seen them close to Covent Garden before. Bob wasn't on a harness or anything, just sat in the middle of the pavement completely oblivious to the noise, commotion and general business around them - it wasn't a quiet day as it was lunch time and was busy!  I couldn't believe he would sit there totally unconcerned.

Looks like they may have a book out as well at some point as there is one on pre-order at Amazon.

I was at Angel tube station on Saturday and met Bob the Big Issue cat...he's is absolutely beautiful!

Check him out on google/facebook, it is a lovely story and if any of you are ever up in London near the Angel tube go and see him and drop him some cat food or a few dreamies (his slave is a charming chap as well)
