There's no sign of Luke Treadaway nor of "Bob" in this similar tale of a busker and his cat in London. Luckily for the narrator, the cat's name rhymes with loads of other words as we tell a tale of them being robbed; 'Fred" giving chase and breaking his leg; them becoming separated, "Tabby" wasting no time falling in love and then - well don't we hope they all reunite? It's perhaps a bit long and there's no getting away from the repetitive "cat, sat, mat, that, hat, chat" rhyming dialogue but that said, the animation is quite engaging and the story one of affection and loyalty, tinged with a touch of mischief. It's not exactly Aardman, but it's still enjoyable enough for half an hour - especially if you're a cat-lover!
