1:45 I love how Bob was served normally like he ordered a second dish and it's so casual. So cute

[@rtwchannel5983]

That's not a cat. That's angel. Look at his cute face!

[@hallo4651]

he died

I wish cars would have sensors for tiny animals or if not, for those who have microchips... I was just a little bit angry for how they lied that they were having "technical issues" and they have to cancel their live session when at that moment Bob was already missing since Saturday night...if they had only told the truth that Bob was missing, people who knew Bob would definitely help find him...

[@midsummergirl]

I think that too. I believe Bob had come in to his life for a reason.

[@tuulonyoutube2226]

I truly believe that the cat was an angel sent by ancesters to poor boy to show him the way of living and loving. I truly do. And I also believe that he just disappeared one day and died in a car accident in behalf of his owner. Bob is an angel.

[@helenalexandraaaa]

i love how bob acts like a human... its so cute

[@Inaworldoflove]

I like how chill he is like it's so normal just to be sitting at a cafe, watching people walk past lol

[@denisesayer1768]

I've met James and Bob and they are both amazing.James is such a gentleman and i'm so glad Bob came into James life.James and Bob both deserve all the finer things in life and i wish them both the best of luck with their film which i'm really looking forward too seeing.Thanks Sky -News for this report which i really enjoyed watching.From Denise in Basingstoke Hampshire UK.🐯🐾🐾😊✌
