14:59 When he kisses Bob and sobs his name I felt that so viscerally. I was scared that after James published the book and became stable that Bob was going to leave, but Im so happy he stayed. Adopting a cat or a dog from a shelter is a wonderful thing to do. But having a feral cat or dog adopt you is one of the greatest honors a person can receive.

Sadly, you were wrong about the last part. In 2020 Bob sadly passed away, devastating the whole UK. I'm not to sure about James but I'm pretty sure the loss didn't make him go back to heroin luckily.

As a cat lover, this got me crying😭😭

It is true that once you love an animal, they will truly love you back with great luck as it shows here in the movie ,being lonesome can be so depressing but thanks to Bob . This cat literally changes the behavior of the guy .

Trying to give a cat a pill is probably the second hardest thing I've ever done, first hardest was giving a 20lb war veteran tomcat with all the scars to back up his rage, a bath.

Sometimes, all a man need is just a good friend.

As a former homeless person I can say it's hard living on the street I'm glad I got a stable job, car and home.

I love how this depicted how important cats can be. Sometimes people overlook them and think that you know only dogs can do these things but cats can be just as loving!

I'm not even siding with James about the food thing because he is the main character, but because that is simply rude customer service. As someone who has witnessed a homeless person do irresponsible shit with the money they were given, it is a miracle that James is responsible enough to use the little money he has for food or water instead of drugs like a lot of homeless people do. And it was just terrible customer service to treat someone like that because they were short some change or because they are homeless.

Could barely hold back my tears. Bob changes his life forever. And James is no ordinary man.

Just a movie trivia, according to the production they audition and hired 6 identical ginger cat to play as Bob in order for them to continue the film just incase there's a cat mood problem and to prevent a cat exhaustion and stress by the crowd and crew.

Everyone deserves a 2nd chance, even 3rd depending on what we're talking about. And cats deserve even more chance even when they puke on your bed.

Almost everyone deserves a second chance, some people deserve a third and a fourth, and some people are just plain irredeemable. The world is weird like that...

The part where he finds Bob again is honestly so wholesome.

This is amazing. I'm so glad his life got turned around like this. I don't know him in any way but I'm proud of him. It must've been so damn hard, I can't imagine. Also; very sad to read that Bob actually passed away in 2020. :( Rest in peace lil guy. I really hope James is doing alright afterwards.

The real bob died in 2020 but now james bowen has bandit and gizmo bobs little brothers rip bob

Never underestimate the positive power of a pet cat....or dog for that matter. They are meant to be the best friends to mankind. And they are.

my cat has saved me from going over the edge so many times, now i'm finally at a place where i have hope for the future, it's been at least 7 years since i've felt hope. things aren't great but i'm making small steps every day. i owe her my life, she's my everything. never thought i'd be as lucky to have such a tight bond with anything or anyone as i've always been a loner, but she's truly a ray of light in the darkness that had consumed my life. it's like she knew i was thinking of her, she just trotted into my room and is sitting with me as i type. beautiful story, without even being told it was a true story i already thought it was, it was just all too real, his struggles were like a reflection of mine. i hope everyone can experience what he and i have with our cats, it's something i think everyone deserves.

Beautiful thank God they found each other gave one another strength he saved Bob and Bob saved him. 🙏

Absolutely Amazing How a Cat Can Totally Change a Persons Life for The Better

Who says cat's were assholes. They're just sassy and as loving like a dog can be.

For the record, another thing this sheds light on is the effectiveness of an ESA (Emotional Support Animal). I have my own orange kitty as an ESA, and he absolutely saved my life. So many people think that ESAs are not useful, but this movie really shows how important and helpful they really are.

RIP bob the cat. Screw the person who hit him

I read the book, A Gift from Bob, and I remember a recurring theme of busking and selling the editions of The Big Issue while constantly battling the daily problems of having enough credits to use the heat in his apartment. I also remember that his cat named Bob made a guest appearance in the tv show Star Trek: Deep Space Nine 🤷🏻 that’s about it

I've survived homelessness three times with no friend or kin, all alone and with poor English. I used to sing with no instruments except a cardboard that said 'any penny or two would do' and a cute smiley face on it to feed myself, until I've managed to build an experience in hospitality and had fixed my life... which I at last did. I was reading throughout the lonely days and had improved my English. It was so hard.... I just really believed I could make it.

Fun fact this movie is based on a true story

The movie is based on a true story, and, sadly, Bob passed away by getting hit by a car. Rest In Peace, Bob.

Thank God for Bob! Cats bring out the best in us. Plus they've been proven to be very therapeutic! Just listen to the purr! Lol

The whole thing has me sob honestly but as someone who's been homeless and is friends with people who've been in dark places the guy throwing the food away made me cry at the beginning.

R.I.P to Bob, the Street Cat. 😔

I am a cat fanatic. I will pick up cats that have been run over to give them a burial. My front yard has far too many in it. I have 6 cats, all either rescues or the kids of a former feral cat that adopted me and my big dog lol (she got out and is pregnant again lol but she is a good mom and I always find good homes for them or end up keeping them. I am a former teacher but lost my career because I am also Wiccan and 2 principals for out and I was fired and blackballed for being a '\Satanist'- welcome to North Carolina lol. So now one of my handicapped sons and I live in a run down house, with 2 dogs and 6 cats, trying to survive lol (anyone wanna buy 1 of my 3 college degrees? lol). I have always avoided this movie because it is too close to home for me. The only difference is I never did drugs). Btw 2 of my cats are even almost identical twins- Thing One and Thing Two. They are B&W, long-haired, One has a white nose, Two has a white chin. But that's pretty much the only difference. lol Two is sitting on my chest watching me type lol

Love how you said "Very unique and interesting name....BOB"

This movie is based in real history and I saw this guy and his cat doing performances around London in 2010. I feel happy for both of them.

Same thing happened when a severely matted dog with dreads dragging on the floor approached me behind a dumpster when I was trying to get high. I took him cleaned him up only to find a beautiful mini snauzer underneath all those mats. He instantly became my bestfriend and helped me through the most difficult nights of my life. One day i left him with my boyfriend and he got out of his leash looking for me and i lost him for a month... I pleaded and prayed to god i would get clean if I ever got him back.... A month later i found him and cried like a baby.... But I kept on my ways.. Untill a comple months later my mom said shes taking me to the nethadone clinic on Tuesday... Well monday night I rode my bike to a hotel and when i came back the dog had ran away looking for me... Again... And i knew that moment that it was to ensure I would get clean... I started going to the clinic and would pray for my dog... A month later... My friend called me.. He was at that same hotel where i had gone the day he ran away.. Its almost as if he followed my scent there or something.... I knew then that I had to stay clean and here i am 3 years later now with my daughter and my dog and boyfriend all at my side.

This is where I live near by about 40 minutes away I've walked past where this guy has been

When I went home to Germany, my sister told me the story. She went to buy the book for me. We both loved this true story. God bless.

As I was listening to the story it remind of the book a street cat named bob, and then you said it at the end and I started crying.

That cat is a legend.

Yes everyone deserves a second chance, and people stop hanging onto the guilt trips from the past, towards the people that change their lives. Forgiveness and Love will even make your own life better.

Cat's are little angel's send by god and when they choose you it's a blessing. Found mine outside a barbershop went to pet it and she jumped on my neck which melted my heart , she's now almost 5 and queen of the house.

I adore cats, I have 5 cats all from the street. My oldest cat 23 years died from kidney failure 2 weeks ago. So sad that he had to go... Will see all my cats again 1 day...😔😶😒🥺

I’m crying rn but happily he got off drugs and changed his life bc of a cat 🐱

All the guy really needed was a friend and love. That's what Bob was. Also want to shout out the actor who played Baz he's done some pretty cool shows.

we all deserve a second chance addiction is a devil but for alot of peeps we can walk back from the edge and salvage a life instead of kicking people at there lowest lets give a hand up

anybody getting a pokemon vibe seeing the cat on his back and also this is truly awesome and sad

This was a very great recap but I would just like to share my recommendations, One main thing I noticed here is the heavy amount of text in the video ; Displaying text for words like "anxious" or "lazy" etc. seems useless to me and the second thing is the length of the video, some parts of the movie was kind of unnecessary so you could've skipped that in the vid, overall this was an excellent video and I liked it a lot! Keep uploading more Cheers

How wonderful. Thank you for this recap. Much appreciated.

As an ex server it is absolutly mindboggling how people can be so unkind to homeless people/drug addicts, EVERY place i worked at would have served him ofcourse. Maybe outside, but no one human would trash the food instead of giving it to him i feel like. Scary to know what kind of people we share this world with.

I love this! Thank you! I love the real James and Bob's books and videos. Bob saved his life.

“She gives the cat an EXTREMELY unique and INTERESTING name…BoB” that look me out 😭😭☠️

I was so happy to hear that it is a true story and it actually has a happy ending

Unfortunately, the real Bob passed in 2020...Luckily I think that James managed to stay clean throughout his loss and never relapsed. Bob saw that his work was done and James would be ok...Rest easy Bob

Love the story! More people should see this story.

BROO I'm crying rn because I searched Bob but I found out bob died at June 15 2020 it really made me cry so hard, rip bob may we remember him from our hearts

It's pretty rarely that I stop one of these recap videos to go watch the actual movie... But I'm doing it for this one. Thank you. Liked and subbed ❤️

My cat provided the much needed emotional support to my dad during his chemotherapy... He would curl next to him and sleep and soon my dad just can't do without him ... I absolutely love this story and I'm sure Bob is amazing

Bob is a legend rest in peace I remember seeing an old KZfaq video of James an Bob

I actually saw it a couple years ago. What a small world we live in! This movie is seriously pretty good. Really gives that false feeling of actually getting out of all the mess.

I agree with you…I wasn’t expecting it, but THIS would be my FAVORITE movie too!

Didn't need to cry tonight 😭😭

Pet is a whole different universe 🙌🏼❤️

Its amaing what people can acomplish when their fighting for more than themselves. Drug addicts especially have low self esteem and think of themselves as worthless, so what's the point of fighting for themselves? But if they have something like a cat or dog that they need to provide for, its still hard, but they have more motivation to fight. I have extreme bouts of depression where I start to get up to do things like eat, and my mind tells me "why bother?". But my cat needs food everyday (I feed her twice a day now) and I never miss that. And if I'm already up getting her food, I might as well wander into the kitchen every other day for food or water. Eventually, I can remind myself that "if something happens to me, then who'll take care of my girl?". Its probably not the healthiest way to be, but I'm still alive.

"The cat doesn't own a wallet". The top joke of the video.

The book had me reeling for days. I'm balling my eyes out after watching this.

The story is heartwarming.....

The cat is so cute.

Thank you for sharing 😊 I couldn’t find the full movie link from this clip.. 🙏

Thank you for sharing! :)

Rest in peace bob, you've literally save a man life.

I had a cat like this as a kid.. it would only eat and eat some more. Great video, keep it up!

My first year on the streets at age 17 i found a lil abandoned kitten, fit in the palm of my hand. He became my best friend,and surprisingly could actually do tricks i taught him, kinda like a dog would. Sadly I only knew him for a year and a half before tragedy struck. Glad I found this video. Ill always miss/love ya Silly CyBen..

Enjoyed this tribute to a wonderful story and movie. Thanks.

it touches my heart...Thanks

that was so incredibly beautiful can't wait to actually see the movie I think it's amazing talking about support this cat was his support help him get clean I think this was remarkable thank you for telling a story I would never have known about this story I click on it when it showed up in my KZfaq thank you😇😭😭😭😭😭😭😭such a beautiful ending😊

Beautiful story. Actually brought me to tears!😭

Awesome Loved it, hope you all the success and love

I loved this one!

I definitely agree that people deserve second chances , commenting this and coming from a homeless person as myself . This film, is a very touching and very beautiful as well. This film is a great message to the world , for explaining the daily life of a homeless person. And people should have mercy and help any individuals , especially when they are a family member and they're families are nearby that can help them change their life around , until they get back on their feet. That's what the family supposed to do no matter what and no matter what age the homeless sibling individual is. To sum it up , we all need help at some point in our lives. No one in this world is perfect. There's no such thing of a perfect human being.

Bob was an angel. I love cats and believe they are the most beautiful creatures on earth. So sad to know he died. Thank you Bob, I'm crying but I'm happy to know you walked this earth

i loved the explanation 💗💗💗

I have watched many films, but this one, this one gives me chills, every seconds I prayed that the cat was fine, as well with James, his push through withdrawals and growing as a person, let Bob Rest In Peace forever and never leave our hearts and minds. And for James, I wish him the best, and his journeys!

This was great, and now i need to find the full movie,,,

I appreciate the effort and insight you put into your videos my dude. I surmise you'll surpass all these other slackers in short time. Keep up the excellent work homie.

You know what ' you dont choose a cat . A cat chooses you'. Miss u mumma every day

Omg I remembered watching this before. This is so good 😳

11:06 one quick research later and found out a Level 4 vegans are incredibly committed to veganism, and follow a strict dietary regime. A level 4 vegan's diet is likely to contain more fruits, vegetables and nuts. Level 4 vegans will often only eat out at vegan restaurants, or if that is not an available option they will only choose a vegan option.

Really Well Done!

Good one I really appreciate it.

R.I.P Bob 😭

I saw this movie just a day before my cat's death. I cried while watching this, realizing im an awful cat owner. Siick

Brilliant, I read the book many years ago before I saw the film xx

Very good work 💯🧠💪👏😎 keep sending more videos like this

Good stuff

The public in general needs to be more flexible understanding that a person only needs to use a drug few times to become addicted . Some are too fast to judge and very slow to give a helping hand. Humans don't know that by helping the needy they are making the World a better place if they can help one person at a time.

This is a very beautiful story of how animals and man can live together and have a happy ending, I was so touched and moved by the movie, I am also an animal lover.

This is so hart warming. I was devastated to learn Bob has died by now.

Indeed, everyone deserved a second chance and support from family and society. Stop prejudice!

Everyone does deserve a second chance just because they screwed up once that doesn’t mean that they don’t deserve a second chance but if they break the second chance I think that it’s your choice to keep helping them or not

It's a charming story. Bob must have been sent from above to this English musician. It was his angel in life. 😢😢

Ayo great video!
