Jim Carrey as The Grinch, a furry green creature with large yellow eyes and an ugly, squished face. He holds a yellow phone directory for Greater Whoville. A snowy background surrounds him.

cat of the month

December’s cat of the month is: Bob!

Bob was a talented feline, known best for his roles in the book and film adaptation of A Street Cat Named Bob. Originally a memoir written by James Bowen about his life as a homeless man in recovery from a heroin addiction, Bob was a pivotal figure in providing James with a new lease of life.

In the film, James is portrayed by Luke Treadway, and Bob plays himself. It sees Bob grow a fondness for the struggling James, continuing to visit him in his council flat even after he attempts to find any potential owners that might be missing him.

Eventually, James takes ownership of Bob, and the handsome ginger cat follows him everywhere. He even sits on his shoulders as he sells copies of The Big Issue!

A Street Cat Named Bob and A Gift From Bob are the perfect feline-themed films to enjoy this Christmas. The latter was released posthumously in December 2020, as Bob passed away in June 2020.

Goodnight, sweet bob — I still miss you even though I never met you. Meow.
