Bob the Buskio Cat: From Stray to Star – The Heartwarming Tale of a Feline Hero Set to Hit the Big Screen in Hollywood

James Bowen's book about stray cat Bob (pictured together) who he adopted has sold more than 250,000 copies and is being considered for film by the same agent who brokered Marley & Me

After Bob refused to leave Mr Bowen alone, he decided to take him busking and before long he was making almost three times his usual earnings as the pair attracted more and more fans

Mr Bowen, who was recovering from drug addiction, said Bob helped him turn his life around

The pair turn heads on the street as Bob happily sits on Mr Bowen's shoulders

Literary agent Mary Pachnos, who brokered the deal for the story about a naughty Labrador who forms a special bond with his human family starring Owen Wilson and Jennifer Anniston, approached Mr Bowen on the street in Angel
