SIMON'S CAT
BY SIMON TOFIELD
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: (from the official Simon Tofield website)
Who is Simon Tofield?
Simon is an English animator who has a great interest in British wildlife, painting, the great outdoors and of course cats.
Does Simon have a cat in real life?
He has three cats - Hugh, Maisie and Jess.
Why does it take so long to make each Simon's Cat film?
Simon draws all of the Simon's Cat films himself. This can require up to 25 drawings per second of animation.
What software is used to make the Simon's Cat films?
Adobe Flash. Simon draws on an A4-size Wacom Intuos 3 pen and tablet.
When will the Simon's Cat shop open again?
The shop has closed temporarily because Simon has been busy finishing the book and the fourth film. It will reopen later this year.
Who is 'Shrooty'?
He’s the talented sound designer who works on the films with Simon. If you're interested in hearing more of Shrooty's work you can visit his website by clicking here.
Do Simon's real life cats provide the character sounds for the films?
Actually Simon makes all the character sounds in the films himself, including the meows!

I'd so love to win this (and, sigh ... could really relate to the humor as well lol)
Why YES - I do have a cat. Here name is BIRD (well, she sounds like one hahaha Plus we have a strange sense of humor around my house)
My son has one, too - his name is Bucet!
Then, we have about a trillion un-named strays who show up and get fed because apparently there is a huge blinking light (like Gotham City's Bat Signal) above my home telling all the cute little demons where to come for a handout lol

I have only one cat, Bentley. He seems to think he runs the house in our place, well at least the bedrooms. The bedrooms are his favorite places to be.

I have a cat, it doesn't live with me. It is at my parents. I got her when my fiance and I first got together. But then we had kids and moved out of my parents house and have lived on our own with our kids for going on 5 years. But I still think of her as my cat. :) Her name is Roxy.

We currently are without a cat. We had a cat named Bailey. He was beautiful and so friendly. Someone poisoned him with antifreeze. We could not dare have another cat or kitten after watching him die. :(
No cat here. Had one growing up named Velevet.

Well, it is good to know I can't put anything past you all! You found my spelling mistake...and good for you. I bet some of you thought if you spelled it correctly, it wouldn't count! Sure, that was what I meant..well, maybe not, but what is interesting is that from your comments I see you all are taking this two ways for a bonus...hmmm, again OUTSMARTED! I will accept either one..I have to..you all are too smart!
Okay, this looks like a fun one! Please enter me! Our family has two cats, Taz and Tulip.

We have a pure black cat named Alis. We used to spell it the traditional way, but my son misspelled it once and she, being a teenager, decided that she wanted to change the spelling of her name to A-L-I-S. She is very precocious! Try living with her =)

I have three kitties: Clyde, Tiggy and Bob. They all came to us from other homes, so they already had names. The only adjustment we've made was that Bob used to be called Baboo -- but he's SO not a Baboo!

I'd love to win this... Not for myself, but a really good friend who loves cats and has been great to me this past year. I don't have a cat, but as a child I lived vicariously through my best friend and her kitty, Tiger (a gorgeous tabby who had the personality of a demon). LOL! Please accept this as my entry. Thank you!

Hi! No I don't have a cat but I live in an apt. house when 8 of the apt. do. Beliece it or not I swear their eyes pick up a extra sparkle when they see me. This is because I inherited two gunea pigs when my daughter moved out and I think they are hoping to be invited to dinner with (on) them.
