Cat lovers aren’t always born that way, sometimes a cat adopts a human that needs a friend. Such is the case with James Bowen, a street musician, or busker, and the cat that adopted him, Bob.
Bowen was a homeless drug addict when Bob the cat happened upon him one day. Bowen found Bob injured on the stairwell of his flat. It was evident Bob had been attacked by another animal and his injuries were serious. Bowen nursed him back to health and looked for Bob’s owner, with no success.
Bowen tried to set him free, but Bob just wouldn’t leave, even following Bowen onto the train. Bowen decided to take Bob with him on his busking adventures, and with Bob’s help Bowen’s earning tripled. Bob loves hanging out with Bowen, even riding on his shoulder.
