Book description
In the four years since Simon's Cat first leapt in to our lives he has
starred in more than 15 films, appeared in three best-selling books and
has entertained and delighted millions of fans across the world. Along
the way he has swotted flies, pulled down Christmas trees, and generally
terrorised his long-suffering owner, Simon. And for the most part, he
has had things his way. Until now. This year the nation's favourite cat
faces up to his toughest challenge yet. With a new kitten in the house,
a new girlfriend for Simon and endless new visitors to the garden, it is
time to reassert his position - once and for all - as the undisputed Top
Cat. What sets Tofield's cartoons apart are the truly comic moments of
pure cat-ness: the merciless patting at a half-dead fly, the single
minded determination, that weird little dance thing that segues
seamlessly into a look of utter boredom At the age of nine, Simon
received his first kitten, a stray rescued from a farmer's barn. He has
had cats ever since. Thirty years later, Simon now has four feline
friends. The youngest, Teddy, is the primary inspiration behind this new
book. When not attending to his cats' needs, Simon likes painting,
reading history books and spending time in the great British
countryside.
