Victoria | 5 comments Greetings! I read chapter 1. Either do I! I had always had weakness for cats and just like James I had been surrounded by animals since the childhood. I think that James is a kind person and he has not lost his dignity became a street musician basking on the streets of London, because whenever he goes basking he always takes some biscuits to treat street cats and dogs. That means that he thinks not only of himself. Being a former drug addict he is obviously not a completely lost man. He is recovering from drug addiction, living in a sheltered accommodation and trying to help a homeless cat (Bob) while he needs help himself.
I think this story has a good end with the help of a second chance and the power of two strays - two fellow travellers.
I would be very happy if someone correct my post. Thanks!

Greetings! I've read chapter 1. I've always had weakness for cats and just like James I've been surrounded by animals since the childhood. I think that James is a kind person and he has not lost his dignity when he became a street musician basking on the streets of London, because whenever he goes basking he always takes some biscuits to treat street cats and dogs. That means that he thinks not only about himself. Being a drug addict in the past he is obviously not a completely lost man. He is recovering from drug addiction, living in a sheltered accommodation and trying to help a homeless cat (Bob) while he needs help himself.
I think this story (has/leads to) a good end with the help of a second chance and the power of two strays - two fellow travelers.


I hope my corrections help!
