The subject matter of this film, irrespective of the cat, gave a slight cause for caution, given the predominant theme of drug abuse, but it was kept at enough of a distance not to be an issue. There were very few questions from the youngster about the drug aspect of it because the focus remained on the cat. Not having read the book it was unclear how much of what was depicted was 'Hollywood' and how much 'truly' happened. Some of the events seemed a little 'over-emphasised' for the benefit of dramatic effect (the Big Issue patch encroachment ban) but there has to be these obstacles within the film to create the moments of tension.
The film was perfectly fine and kept the child quiet for some time. Hopefully it made her think about the challenges some people have in life. As for the cat, Bob did great.
Adult score: 3/5
Child score: 4/5
