Simon's Cat

I would like to take some time to point people in the direction of Simon's Cat, a hilarious depiction of creator Simon Tofield's cat(s). For those of you who haven't already stumbled across it, Simon's Cat is a number of short animations revolving around his cat who, basically is a pain in the backside, creating havoc (albeit very funnily) to draw attention to the fact he wants to be fed. Simon manages to capture the characteristics of the cat brilliantly, from the way it wiggles its bum before pouncing to the persistent clawing of a soft surface and rotating a number of times before eventually settling down.

The website has expanded significantly since I first came across it, with all sorts of merchandise now available to buy and a much larger library of 'episodes'. The longest of these only lasts around two and a half minutes so even if it's just to kill some time at work or something, I would recommend taking a look (via the link below). I guarantee you will fall in love with the cat and I defy any of you not to laugh or coo at any of the animations, especially with the introduction of the kitten...
