My Cats as Cartoons
July 19th, 2011
I feel like I am the last one to learn about Simon’s Cat. How did I miss this artistic genius? My daughter was watching YouTube, I was trying to write, and kept hearing miaow-miaow-miaow on the screen and (gasp) told her to turn it off.
Then I took a second look. And a third, and a forth…
And laughed out loud at the way this artist captured cats’ behaviors and funnyisms.
I see Quincy in this one:
Oh memories…
And we all know how kitties love BOXES
I haz a box…
And the first video. The one my daughter was watching. The one with all of the miaows.
This one is Barnie all the way
(Well, except that he can’t miaow.)
But he is a kneader and a lover from day one. And a kitty who likes his dinner.
Here is an interview with Simon the artist, talking about the creative process. Here is the Simon’s Cat You Tube channel and web site for more kitteh funnies.

Kitties sure know how to find precarious places, and it’s hard not to laugh
I know – isn’t it true, Tamara? And the part in the Box video where the cat just starts grooming himself instead of being embarrassed = perfect. heehee
No, I must be the last to know about Simon’s Cat! I was seriously laughing out loud watching those! The last one is our cat, Alley, too. If you are seated, she has to be on your lap at all times. And she does the “supercat” stretch across the loveseat as well. Love it! Thanks for sharing!
