A Street Cat Named Bob & RC Tees Combo Book and T-shirt Giveaway
We did a review/giveaway when A Street Cat Named Bob was released last year and like countless others fell in love with Bob. The remarkable true story follows James Bowen, a troubled homeless musician, busking on the streets of London to survive. His life suddenly changes when he meets an injured stray cat with orange fur and big green eyes. James names the cat Bob and the rest as they say is history. Since then James and Bob have catapulted to worldwide acclaim and landed on many bestseller lists.
The new U.S. edition from St. Martin’s Press sports a gorgeous new cover and we’re thrilled to offer another giveaway, but this time we’re including a T-shirt from RC Tees who are also huge fans of Bob and James. James Bowen (pictured below) is wearing the “Real Men Love Cats” from RC Tees. Our winner will get to choose any t-shirt design from their collection. I choose the “one cool cat” tee because I think Bob is one cool cat plus I like the design. The t-shirt is super soft, comfy and of fine quality cotton.

Disclaimer:James Bowen has been photographed publicly wearing “Real Men Loves Cats” t-shirts in red, green and black, but this post in no way suggests he endorses the RC Tee brand or this giveaway. Layla Morgan Wilde (pictured above) received a review copy of A Street Cat Named Bob and is wearing an RC Tees she received as a sample. Neither influenced her opinions which remain 100% her own.
It’s no accident that the story of James and Bob have taken the world by storm. Theirs is a true tale of love, friendship and second chances. Bob truly is one cool cat. See them in action in this video. We can’t wait to read the sequel The World According To Bob which will be released in the U.S. next year.

Just arrived in the past month here in the States, so happy it has made it to the best seller list in the US. Real men love cats shirt adorable and makes me think of my hubby who when I had my stroke not only took care of our two kitties, but the 4 fosters I had taken on as well. <3 =^..^=

This is such an amazing story, that when I first heard about it (OMG cannot believe I am telling everyone this), but I cried. I am such a cat lover that I would do anything for my little guy Rocco. James is an amazing man, especially for getting Bob back to health!
I would absolutely LOVE to Win one of these shirts and the book, too, of course! The shirt I am in LOVE with is “One Cool Cat”

Hi Guys, I’m in Manchester, England and already have the books. I get soooo emotional reading all the wonderful things everyone says after they’ve read the book(s). I am just so happy for James and Bob, they got that ‘second chance’ and I hope they live happy, joyous, healthy, wealthy, peaceful lives. They have changed the way countries, never mind people, think and feel about homeless people, drug addiction and animal husbandry – wow! Over here in Blighty, I have nominated them (as have many) for the Pride of Britain awards – fingers crossed!!!!
I love ALL of your t- shirts, but I think my favourite is ‘Real men love cats’
many thanks for reading this xxxx

I’ve had their shirts and Bob’s story on my wishlist for a while now-great combo giveaway chance. I love the Real Men Love Cats tees-the Earth Ocean color is my favorite.
Cynthia Southern
I would get the red ‘Adopt’ men’s t-shirts as I think they fit better and I like big shirts. I also shared on Facebook, Google Plus and Pinterest in the Cats Album. This is a great giveaway.
Luke
I entered once already but not sure if it went through or not, sorry if it comes through twice!
I recently purchased the “real men” T-shirt and I love it so much I would love to have a second one but in a different colour and to own a copy of the book would rock! I shared this on my FB page.

I loved the book, and it would be great to own…a T shirt too!

I shared this contest on my FB page for an extra entry to win. Thanks!

I would gladly take any of these shirts, they are all very cool. However, my husband is an incredible man who does much to support our personal family of all rescued cats and he also has volunteered many hours of service at two cat rescues near our home. I think he very much deserves a cool shirt to advertise his support and love of cats. I would like to give a shirt to him if I win. Also, I have been following James and Bob on FB since last year. I have really wanted to read his book — I actually read a sample chapter of it that was available to review online and I was mesmerized. I am so happy for both James and Bob. They seemed have been the absolute difference maker for both of them. They were destined to save each other. Very moving! I so look forward to reading this book (and his new one too!). Thank you!

this is such a neat site – I would love to win the book and t shirt – love the Crazy Cat Lady (the largest size possible) – Layla is great too –

I love the blue Crazy Cat Lady shirt!! And the book sounds excellent 🙂
Sam and Pam
I just love their story….it’s a special relationship they have indeed….and Bob – well Bob is truly adorable and obviously loves James – they changed each other’s lives. I like the t-shirt YOU have on Layla – as the companion of “one cool cat” (Sam) it’s as close to BEING one cool cat as I’ll get! We’d love to win both…..
Hugs, Pam and Sam

I’ve had that book on my ‘to get’ list for a while so I’d love to win it! And I’d love the real men love cats tshirt because I think it would be great to see my husband in it! Thank you!
Andrea
I guess I’m just terribly sensitized but I cried when I watched that video thinking of my own special cat. I would love to read this book. If I win I’d love the red cat t-shirt (the one with the big artsy cat on it).
Kathryn
Ched, big orange boy – wants that book.
Such a cool, cool story. Not a day goes by when I don’t think of Bob and his incredible story. The power of love.
