A Street Cat Named Bob Page #3

---

Did you tell her you

were in the program?

I told her I was a musician.

So you didn't tell

her the truth?

Wow!

You've covered a lot of ground

since I last saw you.

You can't take on

too much too fast.

Because I'm an emotional wreck?

Because, feelings aren't

an addict's friend.

Bad, good, any feelings.

When was the last time

you were totally sober?

No weed, no brown, nothing?

When my parents split up,

and I was...

You just couldn't

deal with your emotions?

Emotions are still dangerous.

It's baby steps, James.

You're not ready

for a relationship.

Another one?

Hang it up high?

Hang it up high?

Go on. Come up.

Good boy.

You could get

your strength back.

Hey.

Here he is.

Look at your collar!

Look at you. You look like

Shakespeare, or something.

He's a little drowsy, but

the castration went well.

Please, don't even say the word.

I think he understands English.

Here you go.

It's okay. Does it hurt...

Down there?

Big worry.

Do you know how many cats

we castrate every...

Uh...

Following procedure...

He won't even remember,

won't you, Bob?

Yeah, I don't know about that.

You know...

I was thinking, is he too thin?

You're keeping him, aren't you?

Well, I'd like to, but...

I can't. I mean, it wouldn't

be fair to him, would it?

Keep him cooped up all day.

He's a street cat.

His weight's fine.

He should be good

to go in a week.

Okay.

Thank you.

Oi.

I know, I know.

No, don't look at me like that.

It's for your own good.

Hey, it wasn't my idea.

You take it up with Betty.

Okay, look.

I'll take that off if you promise

not to let the stitches, okay?

All right. No, it's okay.

Now, you hold still there.

It's okay. It's okay, Bob.

Let me just take this off, okay.

That's it.

That is a good boy.

Okay, here we go.

There you go.

Hey, look?

Got this.

Come on.

Look, look.

See, there you go.

Yeah, I'm your he right now.

You wait till you realize

you got no bits left.

Good morning, mate.

No, no, no, no, Bob!

Bob, Bob, no.

Naughty.

Eh? Don't I feed you enough?

You only eat what I give you.

Yeah?

Not the neighbors.

And you...

Don't come back.

Oi, no, look, Bob.

Bob.

I've got to go

to work, all right.

I can't take care of you.

I wish I could, but...

I can't.

Look at the big world out there.

Waiting for you.

Go and explore it, okay.

That's it, good boy.

So long, Bob.

Come on.

This is the city now,

what did I just say

you nearly got run over.

Hey, it's not safe out here.

I mean it. You can't

come with me.

Seriously, you'd be surprised

at how much he understands.

Hey, Bob, go on.

Go back to the grass.

Go on. Good boy!

Boy.

That's so sweet.

What are you doing here?

Hey, now, don't go over there.

He's not even my cat, he just

followed me onto the bus.

Loving you, okay.

Aw, ain't he lovely!

Is it okay, that he's on here?

I don't know, who paid for him?

Two for one?

You want to go up here?

There you go.

It's a good view.

Yeah.

What are you doing,

following me into town?

Hey, Bob. Look.

Look at those, mate.

Yeah, you're a lion.

You're a lion!

Yeah.

They've got nothing

on you, mate.

Yeah, would this help, love?

That's perfect.

Well, that's good

its a bit thicker.

Yeah.

Not too tight, now.

No, I know.

It's just if he get spooked in

town, I don't want him to run off.

He's not actually mine,

you know, he's a stray.

No, he don't look

like a stray to me.

I don't know.

Good boy, good boy.

Come on. Come on, Bob.

This way.

We're not going to make

any money here, mate.

Come on, this way.

Good boy. On we go.

Whoa! Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob...

Good boy, good boy.

That's enough shopping

for one day.

Bob, come on.

Come on.

I'll tell you what.

You jump up here.

Look, we haven't

got all day. Come on.

Good boy.

A lot better up there?

This is covent garden.

You okay, Bob?

Bob, the goodest cat!

Oh, goody, you are!

She doesn't mean you.

He's gorgeous!

Thank you.

See that. I'd like

to see you do that.

- Hey, can I have a photo?

- Hello.

Yeah, yeah. Okay, sure.

Say, "cheese," Bob.

All right?

You're quite the little

party piece, aren't you?

Mother, look, he's so cute!

Look at the cat!

Hi.

You want to say hello?

We're playing now, over there, so if

you want to come and watch then...

You want to?

Yes! Yes!

Good work. You're getting

your time, is it?

High five.

Hey, high five.

Do you know what just happened?

Look at this!

Hey!

You are a wonderful

little being, aren't you?

You got yourself

a lovely ginger, all right.

Yeah.

I had a ginger tom

just like him, once.

Loved him with all my heart.

He's got a mind of his own.

Well, that's the point.

The gingers got wills

like iron, they are.

Mine wouldn't leave my side

till his last breath.

You've got yourself

a lovely partner there.

Better friends

than people they are.

Believe me.

Is that right, Bob?

Boy.

Hey, mister you were a hit

today, weren't you?

All right, you want to

come again tomorrow?

The bright lights.

There, look.

This could be you, Bob.

Your name in lights, look.

You want to get some food

when we get home?

Dinner is served.

Okay.

You played a blinder.

There you go.

Bob.

Bob.

Yeah, you're gonna wear professional

cat harness wearer now.

Did you think about that?

Hello, stranger.

Hi.

Oh, haven't seen you around?

The sign?

Oh, I'm going on a march

to free farm animals.

Free what?

Only cows, pigs, chickens.

Turkeys.

Uh, you want them

just running the street?

We want them not to be murdered.

Don't tell me

you're a carnivore?

Um, never really

thought about it.

Well...

Think about it.

Every bite you take

you're eating suffering!

Living all posh, now, eh?

Off the streets and all?

What are you doing here?

I just though I'd

follow a friendly face.

I thought maybe I could crash

with you for a bit, you know?

Spread the word for about a bit.

- Hello, kitty.

- Oi!

Go away, Baz, all right.

I mean it.

Come on, anything.

I had a bit of hard lines, mate.

James, please.

Please, James.

Look at you.

All right.

This is for food,

yeah, Baz. All right?

Promise. Yeah, for food.

- Please promise me.

- Honestly, yeah, promise.

Well, I mean it.

I mean it.

Hey, you need to look

after yourself, all right?

Please, Baz.

Buy some food, all right.

- I promise, it's food.

- Yeah?

And don't come

back here, all right?

Nice cat.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Thank you, merry Christmas.

Oh, hi.

Hope you don't mind, but, I got Bob

a little something for Christmas.

Look at that, Bob.

You want a bit of that?

And I made him

a little something.

Oh, you shouldn't have.

Thank you. Look at that!

Look at that!

Hope he likes it.

Thank you so much.

You're an angel.

Oh, I wouldn't go that far.

I wasn't always an old lady.

Thank you!

Look at that, Bob.

You're gonna have that later.

Hi, Betty.

Oh, look at Bob!

Dr. who's twin.

Love the scarf.

Yeah, just got it.

You all right?

You look tired.

I've been busy,
