"I know it might sound strange or even slightly silly to say this about a cat, but I find Bob inspirational. It's as if he is some ancient philosopher who understands everything and everyone around him. As if he's seen it all before. Knows life inside out. For the past ten years or more, he has genuinely been a kind of guru to me."
