A Street Cat Named Bob: from the filthy lanes of London to the red carpet

“Dogs have owners, but cats have staff”: so goes the saying quoted on a million cat-lovers’ coffee mugs, anyway.

Bob, a large and determined marmalade moggy, seems to have appointed James Bowen his butler, chauffeur and nurse at first sight, despite his chosen human’s unpromising CV; Bowen had spent 10 years on the street as a heroin addict, was on a last-chance methadone program and had just been allowed to move into a flat in sheltered housing.

He made a bare living by busking, belting out Nirvana songs in London’s Covent Garden tourist precinct. As meal tickets go, James Bowen was a poor prospect.
