Simon’s Cat – Review/Giveaway
Posted on | October 26, 2009 | 32 Comments
I am not sure if it is because I am owned by two cats that I am in love with Simon’s Cat by Simon Tofield. I had actually never seen the You Tube animations but after reading the entire book yesterday and giggling, nodding my head in agreement, falling out of my chair, wiping tears of laughter and recovering from that stiffness you get in your cheeks due to smiling so much, I jumped on the computer and started the laugh-fest all over again. This is such a happy-hearted, joyous book and the author is spot-on in portraying behavior of the feline kind as well as those who are slave to the cat! I cannot recommend this book enough for cat lovers, those thinking of adopting a cat and even for those non-cat fanatics. I was thinking of giving this book to my Aunt (slave to 6 cats and no, she is not a cat lady in the traditional sense) but I am so smitten with Simon’s Cat that I am going to have to buy her a copy. This is a book that has a home in my permanent collection.
You can check out Simon’s Cats antics on his You Tube channel, view a wonderful gallery of reader’s cats and other information on his website, become his friend on Facebook, and tweet with him on Twitter.
Winners announced!

I loved that video. My boys enjoyed it too! We have 3 cats and they each love the sun…or warm lamp.

I know this will age me, but I loved Garfield growing up. My girls loved reading the “Chicken Soup for the…Soul”. You can add: Pet Lover, Horse Lover, and Cat Lover to the dots and my girls read them.

I loveloveLOVE Simon’s Cat. After adopting my tubby tabby Gabby in June, several cat minded colleagues inducted me into the “cat club” by sending me links to these videos as well as lolcats. Also love the book Bad Cat–such feline hilarity.

My favorite animal story was my cat Bristol. Our apartment had an access hole in the wall that led to the rest of the apt building. Bristol somehow found that hole by knocking off the plastic light cover in the kitchen and next thing you know she was in my neighbors apartment swatting at his 29 year old parrot!! Yikes!!

I discovered the Simon’s Cat videos a while back and I’m so in love with them! I don’t have a cat (but I’m hoping to adopt soon) but I know people who do and I love how accurate the stories can be. I would love to win a copy of this book!

And I think that The Underneath, though (very) technically a children’s book, is a good animal story.
