Grieving Cat Lover, Bob The Cat Drug Addict Rescue Is Going

JAKARTA - The hashtag RIPBob has reverberated on Twitter. What is wrong? The reason is Bob The Cat, the phenomenal cat who inspired writer James Bowen, passed away on Monday, June 15 yesterday.

James Bowen, a former heroin addict, first met Bob on a street in London in 2007. They ended up living with each other where Bowen kept Bob. Bowen often shares his activities with Bob through YouTube videos and other social media.

This cat is also the inspiration for writing books. Its first issue, A Street Cat Named Bob, generated huge sales. This was followed by the second book The World According to Bob, A Gift From Bob, and The Little Book of Bob. All three books have been successfully sold globally and have been translated into 40 languages.

This success continued when the book A Street Cat Named Bob was adapted into a big screen. Directed by Roger Spottiswoode, the film features the original Bob as Bob who meets Luke Treadaway as James Bowen.

Bowen as the owner of this cat said, “Bob saved my life. It's just that simple. He gave me more than friendship. "

The presence of Bob in Bowen's life not only healed him emotionally but also mentally and changed his habits. "He met many people, touched millions of people's lives. There is no cat like him. And never again, ”said the 41-year-old writer.

Bob's popularity then reached the public. They sent their condolences and sorrows over Bob's sudden departure.

Meanwhile, the film A Gift From Bob is entering the post-production process. If nothing gets in the way, this film will be released this year.
