This cat could have hardly found a better home. Ricky is a true animal lover, in the smartest sense of the term. He has visited my shelters and because he couldn't adopt them all, he dropped a ridiculous check. And then the checks kept coming. And he has never mentioned it anywhere.
Fantastic story
How much?
@@andyparsonage9495 Thank you.
@@Whiplashed a lot.

I love how Ross tries to stop the crowd from cheering so they don't spook the cat. And the crowd actually hushed up! It was really sweet. Normally when I see animals on tv, the crowd cheers and laughs really loudly. And those animals always look a little scared.
That's on American late-night shows. In Europe, they're usually more empathic towards the animals.
What a sweet and true comment. I also noticed straight the way they speak here is in general a bit more calm than nowadays on tv shows. Bit more humble, less shouty in order to be entertaining. Times have changed.
uhm? they didn’t stop? they kept on cheering loudly 4 times
Got my three legged geriatric cat on my lap.. he’s almost 23. Can’t imagine life without him.
Aw. Sweet kitty, and a tripod. Tripods are super special in my estimation.
🤍✨
My tripod will be 11 in September. She rules the roost here! Half Siamese, half Tortie. She knows she's in charge.
I love how soft and mushy he became once Ollie was handed to him
Indication of his good heart.
He puts up a good front but put a kitten in front of him and it’s all over.
Even Hitler was soft and mushy with his pet dog.
@@putin2918 You’ve got to be kidding.!
Why the hell would you bring Hitler..... a madman and psychopathic mass murderer into this conversation?!
Wowwww. 🤯

and then he gave you a cat
RIP Ollie
July 9th 2003 - March 10th 2020
May your memory be a blessing. RIP
My Tippytail is 17
I thought... WOW .. poor thing only lived until it was 7... then I realise we are in 2020 and I am 48 not 38! How time flies!
@@Katwashere71 🤣
You are right but I will break this to you as gently as I can.......after 45 time just whizzes by at a furious and ridiculous pace. I was involved on all sides in The Gambling Industry from 1981 , when I was 27 , to 2017 and when it was over I sat down and reflected I was 63 then THE BIG ONE.........I woke up on 18th May , 2019 to discover I was an Old Age Pensioner , officially , at 65 years age and when you have been , luckily , a really fit and single Guy all your life in London and been out around 7,500 socially that is the first time I felt I had woken up from a near 40 year old Coma and now I am a ludicrous 65 SO enjoy every minute and smell the roses , my friend..
I belonged to the same cat for twenty years. It wasn't enough.
Sandra Nelson Sorry for your loss! Mine was almost 20, lost her last year. Miss her so much. 😥
My cats are 15, 3 and almost 3 (i got a mom and one of her kittens). They are amazing!
It’s never long enough! 😿
It's an injustice that the fur beings of the planet live such short lives. Our pets are family; the pain of loss never leaves.
Had to get my 19 years old friend put to sleep in January. Hardest decision I've ever had to make even though there was no alternative. Still feel like I betrayed her.
I had no idea this is where he got her. I'm sobbing. 💔
Me too
Aww aren’t you both pathetic 😁
@@danieldickinson5853 piss off, twaaaaaat! 🤣
@@danieldickinson5853 TRUE ! Anyone loves Ricky but hasnt heard the XFM shows isnt a fan, and therefore shouldn't be commenting this !
@@fractal_mind562 r/gatekeeping
The look of real genuine happiness on Ricky's face when Wossy told him he got him a cat...
He is a genuine animal lover and I love that he knew how to handle the kitten properly.
7:53 for context, let's all appreciate his face at 7:57, 8:42 for his excitement/happiness when he was told he's getting a cat, 9:48 when he realizes this is real.
How can anybody not like Gervais. Comedy genius. Down to earth and doesn't take himself seriously
Am I the only one wanting to have seen David Brent, Foregone Conclusion on tour. Not sure whether to be glad that Ricky Gervais never wanted to milk it more or sad that he didn't tour as David Brent.
Because he's extremely arrogant and an annoyingly militant atheist (which he will never miss an opportunity to inform you of).
@@whitedragon9731 His arrogance to some is sarcasm, he is very aware of his roots and his success. Funny how Annoying militant atheists only talk about their non beliefs whereas annoying militant religious folk use brain washing and violence to try and impose theirs, I know which I prefer!
@@whitedragon9731 the fact you say he's a militant atheist as a negative tells me all I need to know about you and your beliefs. Bellend
@@jonnysupreme 👏👏
I love that their first meeting was immortalised
He sure knows cats , covering it's little ears when the crowd clap ...purrfect.
He loves animals much more than people, it's really sweet right. I bloody love Ricky. X
also how he supported the kitty's back with his hand when ollie was handed over to him. he surely knows how to carry cats/kittens.
I love Ricky, he uses his voice for the animals. Everyone should protect animals, they bring us so much happiness. R. I. P Ollie 😇🐾
Sadly not everyone thinks like us.
Ollie lived a good, long life.
Aww. Nothing sweeter than a little furry animal in the hands of someone who loved it at first sight.
You can tell by his face his first concern was how frightened ollie would be by the crowd being loud, he truly fell in love at first sight
I had no idea that Jonathan Ross gave him the cat! Lovely story. Ollie lived a happy 17 years...
Steve brought it up on their old XFM radio show. It was a pretty funny bit. If you've never listened to them, do so as they are hilarious, especially once Karl comes out of his shell.
What a sweet man Mr. Ross must be. He got a shelter kitten adopted into a loving forever home. Plus, he helped to heal the grieving hearts of two people who just lost their beloved cat to a brain tumor.
Plus, Mr. Ross tried to quiet down the audience so the kitten wouldn't be scared.
I have no idea who this man is, but he sure seems to have some kindness in his heart.
It's not a shelter kitten, and the previous cat didn't have a brain tumour.
He may be nice when It suits him but he was also very much involved with bullying a pensioner phoning leaving messages saying that he had slept with the man's grand-daughter.
Sad how time goes by soo fast when you have an animal. They live such relatively short lives yet bring the most amazing joy into ours! Rip Ollie and all our past pets💕
@J P GREAT post, and so true. Thank you!
@@carolz5090 Thank you 🤗🌷
Somehow I fear my cat will survive me .... ( he is 4 yo now)
Get a turtle or tortoise…
17 years is a pretty long time.
That little kitten is delightful.
Why did I get teary eyed when he got handed Ollie ❤
He looks like a ragdoll? They're *such* lovely cats
I love and miss Ollie!!
Dont know, but I did too.
I think because even Ricky looks like he’s trying to hold it together cause he still misses his other cat 🥺
@@Jonny0W that was my thought, possibly a ragdoll Siamese mix.
His whole mood changed when he held the cat, he was so calm and totally fixated on it
How nice to see the moment when Ricky met Ollie! My favorite interview of his was one where he went on some chat show to promote something and when they asked if he wanted to talk about it he said, "Not really because I've just noticed you have a dog over there" and they had to bring the dog out to meet him.
I’ve been binge watching Ricky to cheer myself up & also trying to escape reality of deep pain, tears & broken heart. Along comes this (unexpected), perfect video from a man who is so talented, hilarious, humble & honest. (Much respect).
Last week My “little tiger” kitty (Pia) ,22 years old, suddenly stopped eating, dragging her hind legs, lethargic & only drinking small amounts of water. I tried EVERYTHING possible to comfort, help her & ONLY thing I accomplished in doing was making her a comfy warm “heated bed” with steps & pillows in case she fell. (Since she no longer could jump onto my bed or couch, I slept on floor next to hers). Then the day she started vomiting dark fluid (blood) into her water dish along with her extreme weight loss & her precious ears & face jaundice... I knew “it was time to let her go”. I love her beyond words & she ALWAYS was there to cuddle/comfort anyone who was sick or sad! Now, as hard as it is to say “IT WAS... MY TURN”. I won’t lie, I kicked & screamed while in denial “ITS TIME”...False hope “sometimes really sucks”. And... THIS.... sucked!!!!!!!
On 2/3/22 I made the heart wrenching decision to have her euthanized to release her from pain & continual discomfort .
On the ride to the vet, shallow breathing & her last time as MY co-pilot. Her dignity & unconditional love still shining through her fading eyes, & holding my hand with both paws & managed to give me a couple purrs. She was able to enjoy the warmth of the sun shining on her as we traveled . (I’m so glad she loved to go for rides...) I surely didn’t want her to be stressed.
I truly struggled with euthanasia vs. dying @ home. We NEVER are given guarantees in life or death and I battled knowing “she could possibly have a peaceful or horrible death @ home. Knowing the possibility of suffering from
inability to breath, seizures (she’s had in the past), or agonizing pain”. This is WHY I chose the hardest decision of painlessly passing sleeping. The room was filled with her entire 2-legged family members (who rushed to vet) to say their final “GOOD-BYE” & “HOW MUCH SHE IS LOVED”. She gave me a final head to head bump right before she fell asleep.
As I type this my heart aches for my little girl & truly truly miss her. I’m sorry with my ramblings Just want to share “OUR STORY”.
I have NEVER been a “cat person”, so I read everything possible to prepare myself to be the BEST MOMMY. I learned along the way “you DONT pick cats, THEY PICK YOU!!!”. I lost track @ how many lovely kitties I saw. Ironically, it took almost a year “for pia to find & pick me”. When my vet called telling me “she thinks she has my kitty”. I rushed from work to meet her.. she WASN’T what I exactly wanted... she was a feral short hair calico & I wanted a long hair rag doll. “Tugging @ my heart strings knowing she was only 5-6 weeks old & someone left her in shopping cart”. When I walked up to her... she calmed down & purred & JUST LIKE THAT... “she picked me”.. & I NEVER could imagine the powerful love your furry friend/family could bring filled with so much joy/happiness/comfort ...”IF” anyone reads this... thank you kindly for letting me ramble on & on to tell my friend “Pia’s” story. I miss & love you baby girl & wish I could have performed a miracle to save you.. Thank you for all the love, comfort & happiness. Also, thank you “whoever” you are... if you took the time to read this long-winded story. It means more than anything to share & be heard. Thank you & my heart goes to Ricky & everyone else who’s lost a friend/family member whether they have 2 or 4 feet. Sending hugs to anyone who needs 1 or 100. Blessings & thanks again “if you patiently read my story”.
Debbie, your love ensured Pia’s quality of life. You never let her down. Remember that.
@@crmcsys1214 thank you kind soul for taking “YOUR” quality time to read & hear Pia’s lengthy, lengthy story. Reaching out with your comforting words made a difference. Blessings & sincerest gratitude.
He was so sweet. He knew that kitty was afraid of all that noise and he was trying to protect the kitty from the very first moment. So precious!!!
My beautiful cat is about 16 now, still bouncing around and playful, despite being not so steady on her feet these days. She's probably got a few years yet, 2 other cats of mine (Eric and Furface) lived to be 20 and 17, respectively. Not too shabby. When the sad day comes, my heart will break, as it did for my other two. I'm 51 now, but I will get another kitten or cat once my current elderly lady is no longer with me. I just can't imagine my life without a cat. RIP Ollie.
Losing a pet can bring the strongest of us to our knees, yes? I lost my old girl, Haddy - Mae, a beautiful blue eyed Siamese cross. She would have turned 22 four months later. I was heartbroken. That was 3 years ago and I still get a pain in my heart when I think of her. RIP Ollie.
CWJoro 22 is very old for a cat. You were very lucky to have her that long.
Ditto. My Siamese Claude was 17 when he passed. I still miss him terribly 🐾❤️🐾❤️
RIP Ollie 2003-2020
Oh, how lovely. Ollie was so darling. I feel so much for Ricky and Jane, and can completely relate. I had my Siamese for 20 years, and when she passed I was thoroughly devastated. Cats are the best friends.
Had a siamese/burmese manx for 20 years as well. Couldn't have been a more gentle or sweet cat.
@@PikeBishop1 I am an animal lover, but not a cat person generally. However I had a Manx cross and they are so very different to your 'average cat'. I would recommend them as a pet to anyone cynical about cats. They are so loyal and more dog-like, I found. Full of character and personality. Mine was wary of strangers but always hanging around myself, my grandmother who I lived with at the time and remembered and was pleased to see friends of ours who visited regularly. Even their uncat-like walk sets them apart. Mine (Bruno) was born from a female cat I had rescued and I took good care of, but we weren't exactly 'besties'. When she had a litter I fell in love with him straight away and had to keep him while the others went to good homes with friends of mine. I was so surprised when they were born half Manx, as the closest and only Manx cat in the area lived a few streets away. They obviously were having quite the affair! I would recommend them to people who are inexperienced or unsure of cats as he was never any trouble, apart from the occasional 'call of the wild' as he did make several attempts on the lives of my sisters hamsters! (We moved them to a room where the door was kept shut once it became apparent.)
TL-DR: Manx cats are not you average felines! Perfect for those who aren't 'cat-people'!
Had to let my Manx go after 18 years last June. I'm still devastated.
This is 17 years ago, mad
See now I fucking feel old bc I used to watch this when I was a kid
Ollie had a long, happy, pampered love filled life. Never easy to lose or pets but they gave her a happy time in this world
He fell in love with the cat straight away ...quite amazing to see really
And the saddest thing, that tiny little kitten given to Ricky by Jonathan, died just a fortnight ago on March 20th 2020. RIP💜
@@nothappyjan2146 awks 😂😂😂😂
Not really sad - he lived 17 happy years as a millionaire's pampered pet. Ollie got a right result that day, bless him!
Lived 17 years, that's quite a lot for a cat. What's sad about it? Everyone and everything dies one day. accept it
@@MoahGentle You have never lost a pet, have you?
@@TheMymlan even if he hasn't, what he said was true. Everything on this Earth dies. Crying won't do shit
One of my cats is 15-16 years old, when the day comes that I have to say goodbye, I’ll be beyond heartbroken. RIP Ollie x
Mine is 13 and helped me through many many panic atacks and depression. I cannot see my life without him. So I understand what you mean
I thought he said Colin.
@@gaysy1st Colin was the cat prior, the kitten gifted to Ricky in this video was named Ollie, and died about half a year ago now
@@Jagerr. Thank you
Had one baby for 17 years. Didn't find out until the day she died that she had a massively HUGE spinal defect near her heart. Her name was Piglet. Over 7 years later, I walked into my parents' home and Dad tells me his friend asked him to give me a message. Couldn't imagine what the man wanted me to know as I hadn't seen him since the day he and his wife gave Piglet to me. He wanted me to know Piglet's mom had just died. 24 years old and an indoor/outdoor kitty. Sometimes they stay with us.
That was a very old, very well loved cat. But Ricky's genuine, soft reaction was an indication he'd be a very loved kitty indeed ❤
Ricky and Johnathan seem like proper genuine friends! Like not just another guest on his show! Never seen this clip before.
God bless Ollie, may she rest in peace xxx
it’s awful losing any beloved family member, but I hope Ricky and Jane can take comfort in the fact that they gave her 17 wonderful years of love and pampering, for which I’m sure she was very grateful. Xx
And Ollie the cat was introduced to the world.
I didn't realise he was given him on tv!
@@katieviolin3621 Neither did I. Cool story.
😳❤
@@katieviolin3621 she*
Crying at the fact I found the clip he was on about in an interview 🥰🥺🥰
This is the kind of thing that I just appreciate so much.
I love Ricky Gervais’s laughter!!
The day Jonathan Ross and the world learned not to Fu** with Ricky Gervais 😂🤣 bless him and his love for animals. Beautiful hooman 😺❤️
Animals r so important to.our souls. They r so special have no agenda and love u for who.u r. Could not imagine life without animals. Humans who care for animals have an affinity with them.and respect them. Everything on this planet is important from humans animals plants. Respect we have a beautiful planet 🐱 xxxx
.
You can tell Ricky adored Ollie from twitter posts, vines and even the old XFM show where they discovered a bald, manc chimp manning the mixing desk. It’s so sad losing an animal, they really do become family and not just pets. RIP Ollie.
Ricky still gets emotional thinking about Ollie. I can relate. My cat is my baby, too.
I know there's the US version but nothing beats the original Office ❤
"How old are you?"
"mm-younger... Hahaha"
Brilliant
This video just popped up and I'm so touched to see his first meeting with his fur baby Ollie, RIP. He most recently adopted a gorgeous girl they named Pickle ("Picklicious Fatkins the 1st"). Watch the adorable video on The Dodo.
Seeing Ricky goes through this is painful. I have a 4 year old cat and I don't want him to go..... Ever.
My cat is 20
@@ejanocrowsnatcher6785 AWW this is somehow comforting to read. May your cat live a longer, healthier and happier life to keep you company ❤️
So cute and I imagine RICKY and JANE are devastated ... he talked about his cat many times. RIP OLLIE
Ricky....what a lovely memory. They leave us too soon. Too good for this world ♥️
Lovely man Ricky is .
How adorable anyone who loves cats is alright
Ricky for prime minister. I would vote for him. I adore Ricky Gervais and his love for animals. Ahh Ollie. RIP. 😻
My love for Ricky shot up 10 times when I saw him interacting with that kitten.
December 14, 2019: So many years later and I had no idea this Ollie's television debut.
Why is it being recommended to us? TH-cam sure is random!
Me neither. Also, December 14th was my birthday . :-)
Sandy Mitchell ......Happy Belated Birthday..... 🎉🎂🎊🎊🎉🎈🎈🎈
awwww the moment Rickey met Ollie!!
it melted my heart.
RIP Ollie. ☹️ You were so very obviously loved. ❤️
Beautiful kitten...R.I.P kitty putty cat....
I love Ricky even more now!
wossy and wicky seventeen years ago? golden.
Beautiful gift.... and a wonderful memory. RIP Ollie.
That was so sweet. I don't think I've ever seen that occur on a talk show. Bless that fur baby.
So sorry for Jane and Ricky. Ollie was so cute ...
17 years, well that kitten was clearly loved and taken good care off.
So many great moments on Instagram with Ricky and Ollie..lovely to see her origin story. Miss you Ollie...Rest now sweet one.
I don't know why it's all the more humbling that Ricky and Jane got Ollie from Jonathan Ross...*sob*
Awww, I have a Birman cat. He’s the most beautiful and kind cat I’ve ever known. He’s so incredibly gentle and friendly. Unfortunately, he has epilepsy. He’s well cared for and much loved. I’m so sorry about Ollie’s passing. RIP Ollie. 🌹
Aw. I didn't know that's how he got Ollie. Thank you for sharing. So sad when our furry friends leave us.
Here after seeing 2020 golden globes. Brilliant
Ricardo Molinari me too! How good is he!!! And Jonathon Ross is good too 😁
And a million others!
I find Ricky Gervais is much funnier nowadays. I don't think I've ever laughed so much as the 2020 Golden Globes. He gets away with murder!😂
Awww bless him. I watch his you tube channel and he's always helping animals.
Ricky fell in love immediately,beautiful kitty.
Johnathan Ross looks a bit hot in this. Jesus I’m 34 and I’m here fancying J Ross 🤨 isolations got to end.
Thank god I wasn’t the only one thinking this or maybe we are both getting cabin fever or some shit who knows
Meg R I don’t even know where to go from here lol 🤷🏻♀️ will I still have the same feelings when this ends. Hehe
There is something about his face in this video, a few times that remind me of the young Peter Cook and I think that is what makes him attractive. I refuse to believe it has anything to do with Jonathan.
Lmfao
I'm 18, been on lockdown 16 days, everyone is attractive suddenly what's happening
I'm so sad to hear this about Ricky Gervais' kitty, such a beautiful cat! 💖My condolences to them, strangers though we may be! It's so hard when this happens. I've gone through losses with my first lovely cat Sasha, and my 3 precious dogs too. Every single time I'm flooded not only with heartache, but how much they taught me about love, and so many things. It comes almost as a surprise somehow, that we learn so very much from the animals we get to live with. What a sweet, beautiful little kitty, Ollie!😇🌷🌹
i was a month old when this aired
Rest in love and light sweet Ollie 💖🕯
The best gift anyone can ever receive = Kitten
Not if you can't afford one, don't have time for one or just hate animals and their hair and upkeep in general. Never give Anyone a pet as a gift. They usually end up at the NSPCA. I've worked there many years.
7:53 for context, let's all appreciate his face at 7:57, 8:42 for his excitement/happiness when he was told he's getting a cat, 9:48 when he realizes this is real.
Just beautiful
Sometimes his humor makes me smile, sometimes his humor disgusts me, but Gervais has to have one of the best laughs in all of humanity. If you stay grumpy after hearing an outburst of that wonderful sound, I feel sorry for you.
Such a nice gift from one friend to another
Its actually a Holy Birma cat. I know I am showing off now ... but my Sister has one too ... so .... Anyway RIP Ollie.... You have been a great inspiration to us all ...
Every time i watch this i think about all the live streams i have watched of Ollie with Ricky in the background x R.I.P Ollie x
He comes across as a really nice guy.
that was so genuinely sweet
Breaks my heart knowing Ollie has passed and to see this. RIP Ollie💔
What a beautiful gesture😁
Thank you for always making me put a smile on my face when I am having a tough time. Wonderful Ricky. I am now heading to 80 and never sworn. After After Life watching 3 times I am so concerned when my home help and cook come in I might just let go. Being in bed wont be able to stop me 😂
Ooh uncle ricky do the dance!
EH eh eh uh eh eh
Jonathan is sweet to have gifted him something that would end up becoming Ricky’s love
Awwww thats so sweet!💯❤
Teary eyed over it in 2022.
That was so sweet I almost cried. Rip Ollie, I know he will love his new cat you can tell he loves animals!!
Don't be dismayed by good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again.
And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those you have loved.
Revisiting this video in memory of Ollie. ❤️
Rest in peace Ollie - I got my first ever kittens around the same time, then had to leave them with my ex which was the most heartbreaking thing ever. But thanks to them, I knew what real love is, that's the power of animals, they teach you love.
Love Ricky! His laughs kill me lmao
R.I.P. Ollie :( How the times fly by :(
Man... If I was not totally allergic to cats, I would so have one. That part was so sweet.
Did not know Ollie died absolutely heartbroken for Ricky! I know he would’ve been there until the very end of Ollie’s journey to the rainbow bridge!
What do you mean by that , my friend ?
I think Ollie died quite sudden. She wasn't doing well and they took her to the vet and that was it. Ricky and Jane were and I guess still are very sad about that.
I wonder if Johnathan will get him another now lol
@@_Professor_Oak I was thinking the same thing, it would be really sweet if he did.
What is the likelihood that you really are absolutely heartbroken?
