Coupled with Bob's matchmaking role, James and Betty's relationship is getting better and better,
Because someone deliberately caused trouble, James was banned from selling and singing for a period of time.
I found a job selling newspapers with Bob, but I was also excluded and unemployed.
The previous street singing videos started to become popular, and James had the obligations and responsibilities as a shit shoveling officer.
Decided to quit drugs, and with Bob's company, went through that difficult time,
The publisher hoped he could write a book and publish it,

Reconciled with my father,
The prototype of the protagonist of the story, James, is called James Bowen.
And the cat who plays Bob is also the prototype Bob Ben Meow!
It is said that the director once found several cats for training, and planned to choose one to play Bob, and finally found that only Bob Ben Meow was the most suitable.
The human and cat high fives in the play are also very healing and warm.
And James' book "A Stray Cat Named Bob",
Not only has it been translated into dozens of languages, but the sales volume has reached more than one million.
That's how James' life was changed by Bob.
James recalls the last Christmas when he and Bob struggled to make a living on the streets, when one person and one cat were almost forced to separate.
During those difficult times,
Bob gave him strength, friendship and motivation, and "Christmas isn't a season, it's a feeling".
James himself said,
"Everyone has a second chance in life but very few can take it,
It's as if someone opened the curtains and let the sun shine into my life. "
Maybe,
This is the advantage of having a meow that loves you,
When you are passive and world-weary, your heart will not be completely dark.
Because there is always a light shining on you to remind you that you still have concerns in this world,
Don't give up
Meow.
