The Late Movies

If you’ve been checking out web videos in the past two years, it’s a good bet that you’ve seen Simon’s Cat, a video series by animator Simon Tofield featuring the adventures of a man and his cat. Tofield does all the animation and sounds (including the meows) himself. I’d seen the original video (called “Cat Man Do”), but was surprised at how many other videos Tofield has done over the years (and apparently he even has a book). So tonight, for your viewing pleasure, I collect all the Simon’s Cat videos currently available.

Cat Man Do

“A hungry cat resorts to increasingly desperate measures to wake its sleeping owner.”

TV Dinner

“A hungry cat resorts to increasingly desperate measures to gain its owner’s attention.”

Let Me In!

“A hungry cat resorts to increasingly desperate measures to get indoors.”

Fly Guy

“A hungry cat resorts to increasingly desperate measures to catch a housefly.”

Hot Spot

“A demanding cat goes to great lengths in order to warm up and become the centre of attention.”

Snow Business

“A curious cat discovers snow for the first time.”

The Box

“A curious cat investigates an empty cardboard box.”

Simon’s Sister’s Dog – Fed Up

“Find out more about the RSPCA and have your say on pet obesity at http://www.giveanimalsavoice.org.uk.

“A hungry dog will need to resort to a new food and exercise regime after one mouthful too many.”

  1. I love these!! Hot spot is by far my favorite!!

  2. That is one awesome cat.

  3. So true…mine will start with a gentle nudge with a paw, move to a full-on whack across the forehead, then eventually graduate to the ramming-speed head butt. No baseball bat…yet.

  4. I discovered these a couple weeks ago myself! I have been sharing them with everyone. I hope he continues to make more amazing cartoons!

  5. I love these videos too! I caught up on all of them just last week. :)

  6. Poor Simon. He always looks so defeated by what the cat has done yet again.
    I love how true to character that cat is. Thanks for the post!
