Thomas and the Unlucky Cat - A Tribute Story

[@livesteam125]

Blessed by everyone's thoughts on the story, Jess' family have been kind to bless it along with the business i first met her at... thank you all. ... I am somewhat surprised given Boomers theme included that no one has spotted him in the story yet.

[@rantdmc]

i like this vid

[@samjones7834]

Just spotted Boomer At 6:38 just before the Brakevan ends up in the water

[@TheSplendidGuyek-5]

Where’s boomer? I don’t see him at 6:38

[@samjones7834]

Such a cute little story. RIP to both Felix and Jess, they will both be dearly missed.

[@TheWorksDiesel]

As a black cat owner myself, I couldn't help but fall in love with this story. Everything about it is just wonderful! I'm sorry for your loss man. You have my condolences. May she rest in peace.

[@eddiethefriendlytenderengine]

As someone who owns two black cats, I love this story. I also loved the continuity with how Thomas is working on Edward's branch line as a result of his own being under repairs, as well as Thomas’s handbrake still being stiff as per Season 2. I also wanted to mention that this is Season 24's Thomas’s Not So Lucky Day, but actually good.

[@ChimpManZ1264]

Station cats are a part of railway history and present that need recognition for the joy, assistance and pest control they bring to railways over the world. Great story.

[@RibbonRailProfuctions]

Idk why, but Thomas and Boco in a story together, always makes me happy

[@rantdmc]

mmhmm i have a cat

[@geobluecropperstudios6784]

Feels like lost Season 3 style episode and it was pretty dedicated to Felix the station master cat who was sadly passed away. He\she was a wonderfully cat of all times and it was never being forgotten.

[@calebc.2290]

I liked this story, chris is such a nice soft speaking narrator, which is great for me because nothing beats a nice slow and quiet thomas story right before bed. Thanks for making this, sorry that you have lost a dear friend that was so close to you.

[@dannylavery]

I LOOVE how the narrator gave each character a different regional accent!

[@joshfriedman7099]

Chris has been narrating fan-vids since the early days of KZbin.

[@JurgenYongJY96]

Fantastic adaptation story, this one is based on loosely from the story, Thomas and the Stationmaster Cat by Christopher Awdry is an excellent idea and the part of Series 3 episode TV style, I love it! RIP Felix, so sorry to hear it for passed away and you're a wonderful cat.

[@unnameduser06]

The Family of Jess and dearest cat of huddersfield Felix will be more than supported and blissful of the fan-made episode really pay the loving memory for Felix. It’s so memorable story.❤️🐾

[@EnticinglyDeadly]

Having a cat myself, I really enjoy seeing this story. Plus that biscuit joke was pretty funny.

[@TheBritFromOz008]

Bernard looks just like my Charlie and sounds like her too! That was a lovely story. Boomer’s theme seems to fit very well here. I’m very sorry to hear about your losses lad; my condolences to you and everyone who loved Felix and Jess.

[@MuderDrones-FanJunkie]

I teared up at the end. This story was very touching, beautiful, and wonderfully written. May the station cat rest peacefully, and may your friend rest peacefully as well. You are a good friend, we need more people like this. I hope all is well for you and best wishes 🙏 ❤

[@becdoesyoutube]

That was lovely and wholesome.

[@callum110597]

Aww, what a fabulous story, dedicated to one of my favourite animals in the world! May Felix rest in peace; he must've been a lovely cat.

[@GamingDelight]

As to the tribute, you have my condolences. As to the story itself, I'm surprised the guard didn't set the brakes on the brake van before considering taking a break inside it. Had he done that, the van likely wouldn't have sunk. While Thomas is not blameless, hopefully Sir Topham Hatt gave the guard flak for that, and did the same to the shunter for not changing the points. Never take a break for anything inside a brake van without first setting its brakes. Secure buffers, a plus.

[@matthewspencer7948]

That’s lovely, the black cat is so adorable, in fact, me and my friends at Aldingbourne Trust are getting a new black cat too, he’s called Quentin and he’s very friendly and everyone loves him, he’s a new legacy keeper for our original cat Spock who passed away last year sadly but we’ve still got a memorial board about him

[@Crewwfoxxproductions]

I own a black cat currently, he is probably 2 years old by now, and he never ceases to bring an ounce of joy into my heart, I hope your cat Jess finds a good place in heaven my friend, god bless

[@henriquefernandesbreves6003]

Awesome story! My condolences for Jess and Felix, may them rest in peace.

[@DarthWill3]

Aw... What a very heartwarming and amusing story. 😊It's a sweet way to pay tribute to the pets and such who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge. And given the lack of usual intro and outro music, I feel it quite appropriate. We don't normally hear the sound effects of Thomas' puffing in their stead. Love the way you blended S3 and S4 music with that of _Tugs._ Keep up the experimenting. 👍

[@OptimusPrime2471]

Awesome story and a fitting tribute to Felix and Jess I will admit got emotional as 20 years ago I to lost my cat to old age condolences for your loss

[@thegermanofsodor]

Lovely story! That poor brake van though

[@blairterry9435]

Yeah! He’s sunk literally!

[@jeremythomaswebb1485]

I'm so sorry for your loss Mate. That's really sweet that this episode is dedicated to your friend and Felix. My condolences to the family and their friends. Looking forward to watching this episode. And fair enough omitting the main theme for this episode too Wishing you all the best. :) UPDATE: Just finished watching! Loved it! You do a fantastic job capturing the feel of each ear of Thomas much like other youtubers like Suddery Station Master. Such a fantastic video. :)

[@TankEngine97]

A really enjoyable story. May both Felix and Jess rest in piece.

[@gameoholic1994]

So sorry for your loss. And nice story.

[@harrisonallen651]

This was a very special treat, I’ve got a cat and I love her dearly. Not only I like the Tugs music used but also the absence of the theme song, because it makes the experience feel more personal.

[@JurassicSteamRacer_13]

The best fan made Season 3 Episode ever! Though it kinda weird to see the Intro and credits without music.

[@ABellEngine]

I really like this. It's a sweet and wholesome story. I enjoy everything about it. My condolences to Felix and Jess. I hope they're resting peacefully.

[@SegaMario]

This was lovely, and a touching tribute to Jess and Felix. Well done, mate.

[@josephmarrison4606]

Such a sweet and funny story. I have always loved cats, and never considered any of them to be bad luck.

[@BlueBellTW_]

I have a Cat and I salute this cat for his cuteness and his hunting skills for mice on the station platform

[@JohnnyKobayakawaTV]

Bernard looks just like my cat Oreo. Sounds like her. I love that story that brings bad and good luck.

[@jimmyhook4852]

As a cat lover such as myself, that was such a wholesome and amazing beautiful video. :3 Oh and of course: Beautiful tribute to of Felix. I'm sure he is looking down at us from kitty heaven :3 =3 X3

[@Noobul8r9000]

I was so worried this was going to be a tragic story, but thankfully it wasn't. I love cats, especially black ones!

[@GeneralLeeStudiosBrian]

my sister has a black and white cat named Stitch... a bit of a punk at times but still love him even though I am also allergic

[@FreddyLeo18]

That was a very good tribute and a heartwarming story, I’m sorry that you lost your best friend but I bet that this Jess person was a very good and kind friend to you, I hope you’ll feel better. Also that was an amazing station cat. I hope you succeed more. 👍❤️

[@TakingABreak-u3k]

I like the clever use of the instrumental of jinxed from tugs

[@abbeyroadfan94-J.P]

wonderful story

[@EricsEscalators]

Felix is so cute! I love Thomas and Cats.

[@KingsCrossTrainz]

i love this!

This story was so heartwarming. Rest in peace Jess

[@Sodor_tales_entertainment]

Rest in peace 😔

[@TheSplendidGuyek-5]

SUS 6:21 Also I loved this, I hope Jess is alright up there.

[@theislandofsodorfilmstudio4975]

Beautiful.

[@danielsellers8707]

I imagine this story takes place not long after The Runaway in "More About Thomas The Tank Engine".

[@TheNewStoryteller]

This reminds me of a black cat called Astro this story, plus another called Paddy the two black cats passed except there's a third one called Chester.

[@arenjtumastens]

So screwed about all that bad luck that kept happening to Thomas, even if the cat wasn't really the blame for it. But fortunate that it all switched to good luck after what Thomas learned about cats being very lucky. By the way, being late is ALWAYS a good thing; there's a lot of merits to that. Think of what happened in the "Better Late Than Never" episode and the phrase itself. I've heard that causes less stress than from always being on time. Also, I'm really into cats and I have six of them, two of 'em black.

[@jaanshersaeed4541]

My cat is still around but she's getting older now and hasn't feeling well so tomorrow my Mom is going to bring her to a vet where it'll be determined if she can still stay or if she'll be given away to a farm nearby. We've had her since 2012 back when I was 7 then 8 where I was still first discovering Thomas content on KZbin (man time does fly, just seems like yesterday when we got her and when I was a kid first discovering the Thomas fandom). I also don't know exactly how old she is but when we got her in 2012 she was younger but not a newborn kitten so I can assume she was born at the most in 2011 so she could be 13, yeah older but hopefully she can still have some time up to at least 17-20. Gonna be hard thinking when she's no longer around and it will still feel like my cat should still be around.

[@200Mikey]

I’m so sorry to hear about Felix the Huddersfield Station cat. Still it’s a good story.

[@mattdisney1132]

Great story

[@toyotaprius79]

That was such a feel good story 💯

[@jarrodprieto5841]

He reminds me of my previous black cats, Luna and Midnight

[@lauraspicer7033]

@livesteam125: I think 🤔 your video 📹 is awesome and it makes me happy 😊 and it good that it got Thomas and his friend.

[@WesleyO05]

I used to have a black cat. His name was Boo. I miss him…

[@stephenpatton3411]

I have a tuxedo cat. His name is Boo too. I miss Scout the black cat as well.

[@fishpop]

The use of TUGS music was nice.

[@ansonng355]

I Really Love Season 1 Puffing Sound ❤😊

[@StationFilms12345]

Sorry for your lost mate Great story btw

[@NintendoNate1theE2TankEngine]

The intro with just SFX is a little bit freaky, but I'll let it slide for this one... although if you wanna add the SFX to the theme music in your next video, hit me up and let me know. Jess and Felix both deserve to rest where they are now.

[@futurefreezeable]

Yes! Do it,Wardleton Productions! Please?

[@xaneckstein455]

This would indeed be another lost episode of Season 3!

[@MrAadenStudios]

I’m sorry for your loss😔

[@BellyLover06]

"As slow as Edward" What does that make James when Edward actually caught up to him during Old Iron?

[@StarlightWarriorGamerJames]

Funny thing is that my Thomas OC, Cam the E3 Tank Engine, has a Siamese Cat named Nikki who is owned by his Driver and Fireman. (For those wondering what an "E3 Tank Engine" is. It's a modification of an E2 Brighton Tank Engine (the class Thomas is) to run on Oil instead of coal. The way that works is that the oil fuels a furnace under a water tank beneath his funnel and the water gets heated up just like a base steam engine. Cam was actually the prototype with an additional feature: The Overdrive Gauge. The way it works is that the engine's wheels generate electricity when moving, and when the gauge is full, the driver can press a button that forces the built-up electricity back into the wheels, making Cam faster and stronger than usual. But Cam is the only E3 Tank Engine, and nobody can come up with a concrete explanation. The most common theory is that due to accidental file mismanagement, his creators didn't get his data, so they decided not to continue building more E3s.)

[@NintendoNate1theE2TankEngine]

Interesting.

[@StarlightWarriorGamerJames]

​@@NintendoNate1theE2TankEngine I'd also figure that I should explain that the E3s an original class I made, as ever since I first watched Thomas, I've had a fascination with Steam Engines, but after finding out they were all scrapped years later and watching countless videos of custom Pokémon, I'd figure that I'd make my own class of Steamies.

[@ReallyUsefulPinkEngine29]

The intro and outro has no music, interesting!

[@livesteam125]

They probably would of been left in had Jess had been able to see the finished video, she only saw the W.i.P preview when I visited her in hospital last week.

[@noahmaybin1781]

[@kylegraham6923]

May I asked what happened to the opening intro music? You couldn’t put it on the video due to copyright?

[@livesteam125]

Read the description

[@NintendoNate1theE2TankEngine]

Wait until next time, or go back and find a video from this channel that still has it.

I thought James learned his lesson about not judging Edward he saved his ass from a nasty crash

The interestingly, the intro and ending didn’t have the opening or closing theme this time!

[@samtheman4096]

The intro is kinda eerie without the music haha

I love Black cats. I know black cats have nothing to do with Bad Luck. My beloved "Imageing (pronouncing Imaging)" have nothing to do with it either when she died. I missed her RIP to my beloved Black kitty cat named "Imageing" March 28th 2008 to August 24th 2020. Now I have a new black kitty named "Scoot Scoot" who is 5 years old adopted from the SPCA.
