Do you still remember the story of a famous street cat named Bob who died a few days ago?
When the news came out, his owner James Bowen and millions of fans around the world mourned his death, believing that the cat was so important for James’ life.
From the time James lived a difficult life until he became famous and was able to write his books and movies, Bob was his backbone in all of those times.
But at that time, everyone does not know why Bob died, even James himself didn’t say a word about it. But on Friday, James finally reveal the cause of the death of his beloved cat and shared about it on A Street Cat Named Bob Facebook page.
“I didn’t feel ready to talk about the circumstances of Bob’s death earlier this week. It was too upsetting, not just for me, but also for his millions of fans around the world. But I’m sorry to have to confirm that Bob died from injuries sustained when he was struck by a car near our home last Monday afternoon,” he said.
“He went missing two days earlier and, despite appeals and searches locally, had been discovered less than half a mile from home and taken to a local vet who contacted me. I can’t describe the grief I feel. I am utterly bereft,” he added.
“Bob had stage two kidney disease but we were managing his condition well and I think he would have lived for another year or two. I’m just so sad that he hasn’t been able to enjoy his retirement in full. I miss him so much.
“Thank you for all your amazing words of support and the tributes you have paid Bob over these past few days. They have meant the world to me as I’ve struggled to get through this unbelievably difficult time,” said James.
