    Bob was a very pretty kitty. Rest In Peace, dear friend. He had the most beautiful green eyes I've ever seen on a cat.

    What I love about him is he stayed so humble even when he got famous. He got money, but that hasn’t changed him. He talks to people just the same. So sad he past r.i.p little bob.xxx

    I'm reading this book now and I just can't put it down. It's amazing the bond these two have...I have 3 cats, all rescues and one just happens to be an orange tabby like Bob so the story has a little extra meaning for me. I love my orange boy just like James loves Bob...it's crazy the control these amazing creatures have over us isn't it?

    Great interview too. The questions were so fresh and what I think most people want to know.

    I have just finished reading `A Street cat named Bob'. Absolutely amazing story and an incredible duo. The book made me laugh it made me cry and gave me a terrific insight into life on the streets. I have been homeless in my life and really related to the dark days James experienced before he met Bob. Bob is really a star and James is a lovely guy made good. I wish you both lots of luck and love in the future. Frieda XXX

    Anyone who has cats knows that cats are not brought up so easily. It is the cat who's raising you. But the cat has a weakness for flattery and attention. It makes it malleable. You've found the perfect combination for both of you makes you strong together.

    Thank you so much for posting this interview. I also like the way they are still now after all the success. I also like the way you interviewed James and gave attention to Bob. I have seem some people asking some offensive questions and it is not very nice. Bob loves attention and we can see that he is a very content cat. James looks after him really well. Next time I go to London I also hope to see them busking.Was it shot in Angel ?
    Many thanks for this little gem! You made me my day :-)

      @severainb.3073 10 років тому +1

      And do you donate money to the other street musicians or homeless people? Just go outside and look in your city. There are a lot of people who also need help! But they don't care. Just like him. They only care about him because of this nice cat story. That's so sad. I spend money to all the people on the street or I spend food or just a little talk. That helps also!

    • @Lunar_Crescentfall
      @Lunar_Crescentfall 10 років тому +4

      You're a very nice person. I wish that I could help everyone in the whole world, not just James. Even if it seems impossible, I will never give up. I try to help them so much, but my mum just drags me away from them and say they are just faking. It's not fair. I want to so help them, even if I'm young.

    • @severainb.3073
      @severainb.3073 10 років тому +3

      I plan on spending a day with a homeless man, just to see whats their story. To see how they live. I think that is a good thing for both of the people. At the moment I make a practical training in an organisation for former homeless people, they live there. It's so inspiring and wonderful to see how thankful they can be. I'm from Germany by the way :) Im planning to study social work. I'm young too, I'm 19 years old. Maybe you can go outside in your city, buy two coffee and just go and sit down to some homless people and talk. They often are very happy of someone recognizes them as a human being. Just do it, it will be one of the best experiences in your life, trust me :)

    • @Lunar_Crescentfall

I, personally, have something similar with our Carol, whom showed up at our apartment, starving to death, covered in fleas and feces from sleeping in a trash can, she is now doing well, she trusts humans now and we will get her a home, trying to get my cat and dog to let her become a member of the family. You are an inspiration to us here in our home, that you could overcome your addition and give a cat a special place in your life is a wonderful thing. Best of Luck to you, our prayers and hopes are with you in Clayton NJ. Gale

      I abducted my last cat (sadly passed away coz of cancer), from my cousin's arsehole boyfriend who was mean to her and had already broken one of her toes by standing on her and used to whip her with a twisted tea towel. I took her home, gave her love, and she was my best friend for 21 years. Little black and white furry baby who was so gorgeous and loving, yet chased all the other cats out of the garden to protect her human family! I miss her every day. You are so wonderful for caring and loving your cat. Thank goodness for people like you.

    Ich bin sehr angetan von Bob, diesem außergewöhnlichen Kater. Ich liebe auch Katzen über alles, habe selber einen, der schon 17 Jahre alt ist und der mit uns immer in Urlaub fährt, weil er niemanden anderes akzeptiert.
    Es ist schön, diese Freundschaft zu sehen, doch hoffentlich wird sie durch die Medien nicht zerstört.
    Ich wünsche den beiden alles Gute.

    Just read your book, you are so kind and loving to Bob Im really glad you found each other. I agree with the others who say how can they just watch and not give a donation. Some people can be v selfish.

    I have read the book. It is such a wonderful story. I wisch James and Bob all the best. Bob reminds me of our cat called "Burli". We had a wonderful time (16 years) with our cat.
