[@patriciosuarezfaini9482]

BOB, ALWAYS AND FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS !!! 😻🐾🧡🧡🧡🥰❤👍

[@sophanlekmuangsombut6644]

Always makes me cry thinking of Bob, He was very special. He had a place in my heart. Glad I have his lovely statue on the table to look at him and he is always near.

[@rangogato]

oh how to get his statue?

[@Janey6511]

Bob is the most adorable cat ever, Im more of a dog person, but that cat is just fantastic, what a lovely story.

[@harpocrates2384]

Bob is very special of course, but cats are mostly misunderstood and so then hated.

[@SKinSKorea]

RIP Bob. Peace, Love, and Strength James.

[@sophanlekmuangsombut6644]

Bob never die He is always alive in our heart.

[@patriciosuarezfaini9482]

So well said !!! 💯👍 😻🐾🧡🧡🧡

[@Emily_Charley]

He was one amazing cat RIP Bob

[@ESS03019]

James you deserve every bit of success you get, loved the books and cannot wait for the movie!

[@alisonowen893]

Cat's are marvelous creatures what a great story.

[@Squeakernose]

At 4:14 it looked like Bob was nodding his head like he knew what his guardian was talking about! I just want to give Bob a big hug for all the good work he's done for and with his guardian! He looks a lot like my cat. My cat though, would never sit on my shoulder for more than a second! Good work Bob! Love the book, too

[@chefidel4314]

James you mean a lot to all of us

[@artisticgenderfluid3089]

This is absolutely amazing! I just finished reading 'the world according to Bob.' James, you are an amazing man! Don't let anybody let you down! And your cat Bob, is a beautiful, lovely boy! He is such a beautiful cat!

[@edredden2603]

[@stella82003]

Just finished the book,it´s amazing and beautiful story.I am so pleased for them both to have found each other and I wish them every happines.Merry Christmas James and Bob!Hugs from Poland

[@fransmith153]

Hi James and Bob, have just read your first book and what a wonderful story, It reminded me of my two cats who both recently passed away. its a joy to follow your story and I send love and joy to you both. You have changed my outlook towards the homeless and taught me a whole new way to look at the homeless your story so inspired me that I recently befriended a young man that I met in hospital when we were both in a mental hospital both in difficult places and now I am helping him as much as I can to rebuild his life. He is now out of hospital and living in supported housing and I continue to help him as much as I can like you he is an ex addict but a bit like Bob changing your life this young man has changed mine. Thank you for helping me to understand what it is like to be homeless and uncared for and thanks to Bob for giving you the love that you needed when no one else was their for you. I wish you both the best and so much love. Fran xx

[@katzwhite5962]

james and bob i love u guys. i have just finished reading ur book, couldnt put it down. i absolutely enjoyed it and have recommended it to my mates. the beginning and ending of the book touched a nerve and so im going to take my second chance. im so glad that a children's version of the book is out as it will def be a present in my daughter's xmas stocking. really hope to see u in london one day and swap tales of having a cat. stay strong keep pos. u r an inspiration, u r amazing. keep rocking! katz x`

[@SmashCubeGaming]

I think the interviewer asking if he'll be able to cope after bob dies was really unprofessional. He's talking to someone who has been through such an emotionally traumatic time and even though he is now in a place where he is healthy and living a better life, he will feel the emotional effects of that time for the rest of his life. When that cat was the one thing that managed to pull him out of the dark place he was in, talking about that cat's death is something that would likely be very distressing. You even see James get uncomfortable as soon as the interviewer asks and even his co host seems to think that it wasn't appropriate

[@poohspaws8976]

SmashCubeGaming Yes, I am with you, that’s a dangerous question. I almost wanted to cry just watching him react to the question. It is clearly a question that has crossed his mind, but that is so deeply sensitive, I don’t think it has a place in an interview. That’s for him and a therapist to talk about, as far as long term healing at some point, but has no place in a televised interview. Hard enough as it is, can we not throw in the idea of when Bob is no longer around. A bit of sensitivity screening on those questions would have been appropriate. Journalism isn’t always the most tactful profession.

[@snaggletooth5844]

You're definitely right. I even noticed James getting a little Angry when he said that as he rested his arms looking at the guy asking him about it. I think one shouldn't ever ask such a thing . I know it's their job to ask things but asking such a thing is very impolite, rude and disrespectful of him. He may have not intended however it was still a little rude of him and he should know that it's his job fgs

[@mikedoody2923]

What an ass for asking him about bob dying.

[@marcyallison5996]

@@mikedoody2923 ABSOLUTELY.

[@MikkeMan]

@@poohspaws8976 True. I'm not sure was this the same or another, but James mentioned this tough question in his second book and he said that he got emotional from it, but then he collected himself and gave the answer he gave in this interview.

[@chefidel4314]

God Bless you james

[@kawaikat7249]

Bob is the best, who else is hyped for the movie?

[@martinapirschel7348]

Love it♥️🐾♥️🐾

[@prebensvensson3078]

Wonderful cat...a miracle....

[@llinseyyoung5799]

Fabulous duo

[@nonamerooster5413]

Miss you Bob😢

[@silviarocha873]

Im a great fan of cats and after reading the book,I was very touched by the way he changed james life! and many people should follow his example: NO DRUGS,LOVE A PET!

[@leonidaskoniaris7718]

this cat change his life forever

[@mand20001]

I started reading the book today on my kindle and I'm already on chapter 13 it's a great book

[@tally1604]

Bob is one of a kind!

[@nightingale-e3i]

Omg what an inappropriate question to ask when Bob's not gonna be around =_= rude presenter. On a positive note, reading the book right now and it's so heartwarming. Recommend everyone to read it!

[@deerg1rl]

and he recently died in 2020 so sad

[@shimmeringfairydust3275]

Lovely. Saw the movie recently & my boyfriend and I loved it.

[@Redat23]

I like the way Bob puts his paw on James's hand because James is touching him a little too much lol, almost like 'settle down buddy', very emotionally mature little chap

[@mammybelle7302]

Unfair question!! How would anyone know. how they would react after a loss...I never knew how I would respond to the loss of my child!! ...x Love and hugs to you both

[@guilhermescheide]

I am from Brazil and couldn't speak English. Read the book and thought it was wonderful. Congratulations and that everything right for you Bob!

[@chocolatebadger1]

Love James and Bob

[@jayneoliver9062]

Acabei de ler o livro, e posso dizer que fiquei muito emocionada com a historia deles dois...Amo os gatos. É lindo essa amizade.

[@CatoPet]

Oh Bob, you came in this world from heaven & sent to the same place with lots of love💓. You will remain in our hearts always An angel also came in my life like Bob last year #Emmapk2020

[@nianiazwaj955]

We'll love YOU FOREVER JAMES AND BOB.

[@De10001]

've just finished reading the book. I was so sad as my fiancé has just gone to his country. So I went to a libary here in order to buy a book to a friend of mine, so I saw your book and got impressed with the picture of a beautiful cat. My fiance and I have a passion for cats, and instead of sayng "good bye" we say "meow". It is so stupid, but we dont care. Your book brought me some comfort. Hugs from Brazil!

[@alisonowen893]

An inspiring film about friendship with a cat.

[@nelson1953]

Just a beautiful story.. Really wonderful.

[@arabellasky4966]

I read the first book in 3 days, now I am on the sequel. Bob is so cute I wanna squeeze him!

[@ewb8592]

I read it in 3 hours 😂😂😂

[@greeneyedwitch1103]

Me in one day :)

[@katerinaxatzi8551]

*Adorable Bob!!!❤❤❤* *James, we love your music and "The Strays"!!!*

[@Crazysquid911]

I watched the film and I genuinly wanna meet him so bad

[@2974chloe]

i have read the books and i loved them

[@Cocoboi7]

Omg after bob passes hope he does'nt go to his past ..i think bob is a little gift from god or you can say second chance ..i see pure love no greed in james eyes ,unlike the grumpy cat owners they just use it for profit ..hope james get succesfull please buy his book trust me you wont regret it ..

[@gailharris4013]

James gets other kittens

[@cindyluzlacandazo2413]

If you have a pet especially like Bob you don't want to think about them dying but this interviewer doesn't care he just asked the question like it was nothing :(

[@ugyengyemtsho7087]

Loved the movie!

[@niamiow4912]

i love this!!

[@alynnenessie565]

God send this cat to heal you

[@rooster3266]

To James a recovering addict , what sort of stupid , dick question was that ? When you love a pet the last thing you think about is loosing them , tool ! Love to Bob and James 😻

[@jeffcostello9641]

Yep! That's what I thought to myself, too! What a callous a..hole to ask a question like that!! So let's hope Bob will live long enough to bite his butt!

[@fujiwuji891]

It's the BBC though.

[@loljustice31]

I thought the same thing, it was so lacking in tact! Let him enjoy their life together!

[@peachion2]

I have an orange cat. I call him Ollie the fire cat. In the winter he looks like a flame dashing across the snow. This is a great story. I do think it was mean for them to suggest Bobs death, and the pain James showed was heart wrenching. Let’s hope Bob has a long life. James is someone that animals love because his sensitivity and caring is so apparent.

[@lunastarr1925]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢

[@aguzmanu]

No tenia ni idea de esta fabulosa historia de este chico y su gato, hasta que me compre el libro; pues soy una amante de los animales, los gatos me fascinan. y al terminar el libro me entere en él que salían en YOUTOBE así que me he dedicado a verlos después de leer el libro. Son los dos como de la familia. Hasta siempre Bod beistos

[@flaviagomesf]

A mí me ha pasado lo mismo que a ti, Mara. He terminado hoy la lectura y me he puesto a buscar los vídeos que James cita en el libro. Qué experiencia trascendental la que han vivido estos grandes supervivientes. También soy amante de los animales (cuando nací mi madre tenía 18 gatos y una perra) y muchas veces me resulta más fácil querer a un "hermanito" de cuatro patas que a un humano. Sin embargo, en el caso de James y Bob, es imposible no querer a los dos. Pues eso, ¡son de la familia!

[@mjp221972]

Muchas gracias.

[@supakornpanitamrong8573]

Please be careful about camera flash to the eyes's bob.

[@niamiow4912]

love you james n bob,forever!

very amazing!

[@aininor]

luv the books!.. hiii bob and james!..;D

[@barbarahedges1791]

How nice they did a child's version of the book leaving out the dark side.

[@j.style18]

lol when i was a kid i read the original one and it was fine tbh. nothing traumatised me lol

[@dragonmaid1360]

That is an extraordinary cat. It's definitely focused on him. Quite surreal.

[@skatefan9495]

My cat did high fives in return for a scratch on the head. Treats not necessary! That said, Bob is very mellow and very cute.

[@jennymichaelson7780]

Yeah! Agreed. 😸

[@jennymichaelson7780]

I once adopted a farm cat. Named her Frisky. Beautiful girl she was! She always could sense my emotions, and the emotions of others around us. Good hunter and mama cat. If she were still here today, she would be 36! Sadly, she disappeared at a young 5-year age. Gosh, I still miss her terribly. Best friend. ❤ Guardian Angel. 😇

[@sheeks2467]

I just watched the movie.... Amazing, almost made my mother late for work lol. Worth watching. The male interviewer annoyed me with THAT question, you could see that James was a bit hurt by it.

[@thierrydevant7690]

Magical creatures

[@simonhunter3430]

my first cat appeared on my doorstep out of the blue one summers day. spent the rest of his days with us :) RIP Oscar RIP Bob

[@nianiazwaj955]

[@P.Whitestrake]

Rest in peace, Bob.

[@viroxxx]

Bob forever and beyond.

[@zorasheikah5558]

James has changed my life. I have never, or never will be a drug addicts, but I have been sick a lot. I am a diabetic, and I did not want to give a damn about it, but... now... he makes me feel that I need to change my life, while I am still a diabetic. I have been one ever since 2010, and it is type 2.

[@nianiazwaj955]

We'll ĹOVE YOU FOREVER JAMÈS AND BOB.

[@lucinhamalukinha]

oi Bob oi James adorei o livro adoro gatos principalmente amarelos como o Bob , vcs podiam vir ao Brasil :) Carinho brasileiro a vcs

[@vrccb]

Before writing any more about James and Bob, please read the books.

[@kkentangzz2387]

Bob😭❤️

[@andeeersonb]

Y love bob james

[@GozerTheGozerian]

It was a legitimate question. Not an easy one to ask, but I've wondered it and I'll bet 90% of people who read the book wondered too. I've heard of indoor cats living up to 26 years, while my friend's cat just died at 12. The average lifespan is 12-14, and Bob is probably 8 years old + by now. I hope Bob is one of those cats that lives 20+ years, but you never know.

[@mssummerrose1]

everybody wonders, but YOU DON'T ASK THAT QUESTION B/C IT HURTS, IT IS TOO DELICATE *smh*

[@LanaCat44]

What a stupid, unkind question-coping after Bob dies. This is in 2013 and Bob being a young cat. I would have replied, the oldest cat on record is 36 years old. I had a couple of idiots say this to me when my kitties were in their teens, and was disgusted. Just yelled "No...............I don't like your question." Wanted to say "How will you feel when your child or children die......?"

[@isabellarosa572]

Se salvaron la vida ente los 2 hermosa historia amo a bob

[@miraz5557]

We miss you bob😢😢🥹🥺🥺

[@rachawadeeellen5516]

What would you do if your little daughter gone too soon? It hurts and how one wants what to know from talking to people?

[@nadadabb1015]

6:00 me when the interviewer asked that stupid question

[@StefanGenov7]

The movie is brilliant

[@empathicchristian]

There was a part about @thechosen2030 in the original book.

[@monalizalinda100]

adorei o livro ;)

[@susandonovan1487]

James talks about that interviewer in he’s book how it made him uncomfortable.

[@user-hq8tx8xq6b]

Bob ^^ You are 👌 best

[@terrybaker8156]

Did Bob ever miaow?

[@ryanrightmire1447]

i hate that interviewer. the lady sensed he was uncomfortable though

[@48reggaewoman]

Some people (like TheChosen2030) are envious or don't know the story! First read the book then judge! Before introduction your tongue switch on the brain!

[@claudiatapia8310]

@ 3:49 min, Sorry but the man interviewing is the meanest, cruelest interviewer I've seen in a long time, hopefully I never see him again, how can he be there? Love James & Bob!! one of the sweetest & most inspiring stories that touched my heart ...

[@Gabriele1979]

Rip Bob :'(

[@evitetriyani6005]

Why i just find this on youtube
