St Thomas

　　James Bowen是位在街頭流浪的藝人，微薄的收入和被社會邊緣化的身分讓他連養活自己都很困難，根本就沒有能力再飼養一隻貓。可是有一天，當James疲累地返回簡陋的居所時，竟然發現一隻受傷的流浪貓蜷曲在他的家門前。

　　他深深的被這隻貓咪吸引，並為貓咪取名為Bob，把身上僅剩的錢全花在治療Bob上面，慢慢照顧他直到恢復健康。Bob康復之後，James想讓他恢復自由，並做好永遠都不會再見到Bob的心理準備，但Bob顯然有自己的想法，而且非常聰明，聰明到James發現自己竟然離不開Bob了。

　　Bob用不可思議的影響力讓James再次感受到社會溫暖的一面，和Bob的這場邂逅不但讓James尋回遺失已久的親情，更從此改變了他的人生。

　 　JAMES BOWEN was a street musician in London who found Bob the Cat in spring 2007 and the pair, now famous around the world, has been inseparable ever since. As their book climbed bestseller lists in many countries and their fame skyrocketed, Bob began to receive hand-knitted scarves from all over the world.
