Simon’s cat is hilarious exactly because it captures “cat” with such nuance.

Very funny! yes why must cats destroy and lay on our paper (sigh) My cat hasn’t figured out the lamp yet, just a matter of time.

October 5th, 2009 at 7:17 am
Simon obviously used my cat as a model for his book!
October 5th, 2009 at 7:18 am
I love Moderncat for letting us know about all these great cat-chy inventions and publications. Just last year I ordered “I can has cheezburger” five times and I will probably do so with Simon’s Cat at least that many times!
How Simon Tofield captures the cat’s behaviour without any words (but with great sounds!) is so thoroughly enjoyable – and everyone in the world, young and old, illiterate or PhD, will understand what the cat wants from Simon (providing they have a cat themselves – otherwise it is comparing apples with pears
Thank you Canongate Books for making one Moderncat-reader a very happy cat-lover, even before Christmas!
