Bobbi (the dog) and Bob Cat are the best of friends. When their hometown of New Orleans was struck by Hurricane Katrina, many lost everything. Bobbi and Bob Cat only survived by staying together. This is the story of their remarkable friendship.

In Venice, Italy, in the 1890's, a stray cat draws attention to a coffee shop in which he inspires composer Guiseppi Verdi, and as the feline's fame grows, the shop's owner entertains royalty, the pope, and many others. Includes historical notes about the real Nini and his visitors.
