Sunday Catinee: Simon’s REAL Cats

December 15, 2013 By: Sparkle Cat27 Comments

Sparkle's Sunday Catinee

I was looking around for new holiday cat videos… and came across a recent entry from animator Simon Tofield in which he talks a little bit about his cats. They all in one way or another inspired the stories that make up the Simon’s Cat cartoons, but it’s Hugh whose personality and body shape most figure into the kitty protagonist we’ve all grown to know and love. You may recall that my human got to hear Simon speak about his cats during the Purina Better With Pets Summit — now here’s a chance for you to enjoy meeting his real cats. The Christmas program will just have to wait until next week.

If you can’t see the above video, click here to watch it on YouTube!

    They kind of look like our gang here! We wonder if we can kidnap them and switch places for a day or week or month or year!!!!

    Simon was in Chicago (where I live) a few weeks ago, but it was during the week and I couldn’t get there to see him. 🙁 It’s fun to see his inspiration, isn’t it?

    Thanks for posting this. I subscribe to Simon’s youtube channel but never saw this introduction to his cats. It’s clear in his work that he knows and understands cats really well. It’s so nice to see them!

    Sparkle, we really enjoyed meeting Simon’s kitties and watching the “Feed Me” video. There was a lot of LOL from Mom. We have never tripped her to get our food, but we have done it plenty of other times as well as pretty much everything else Simon’s kitty did, except for eating food off of Mom’s head. MOL, HO, HO, HO! Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio,Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

    My self-esteem has risen about 100 points now that I see the inspiration for Simon is a House Panther like ME! Not that my self-esteem really needed any boosting, of course. Nice Sunday choice!

    They’re all BEAUTIFUL cats but Hugh and Teddy are simply stunning. Panthers really are, don’t you think?

    Well that was great fun hearing about Simon’s real cats. That Simon is just the best. I bet he has fun drawing all those cartoons. Have a great day Sparkle and thanks again for Tweeting about Baby Doll. We did find her a home.

    Thanks for sharing this, Sparkle. It was a lot of fun to see.

    #1 says she was relieved to read the comment you eft on the state of the office but, believe us, it is in fact a lot worse than it appears!
