The two hang out together. The cat tells Ed to forget the girl and they play video games.

Ed plays some music and the cat joins him on the guitar (or rather a fake cat paw does).

Ed is still not cheered up so the cat suggests they go to the pub.

At the pub, Ed is still depressed, thinking about his girlfriend.

The cat tries to point out another woman but Ed is not interested.

They continue to drink and the cat finds a woman to pet him. This only reminds Ed of how his girlfriend used to pet the cat.

A man tries to take Ed’s picture and the cat (actually a fake cat) attacks the man. Ed has to pull the drunken cat off the man and they get kicked out of the pub.

According to one source, two cat actors played the part of Ed’s cat in this video. One of them was a female cat named Dave. The cats were both pros, having appeared in the James Bond, Harry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean films. Another source lists a cat actor named Sydney who also appeared in Skyfall and Bohemian Rhapsody.
