Simon's Cat

You may or may not have heard about Simon's Cat, but there is a good chance that you have seen some of Simon's videos or drawings on the internet.

Simon Tofield is an English animator. Inspired by his own four cats, he creates hilarious traditional-style animations, meaning that although he uses adobe flash software, his animations are still built frame by frame.
According to his website, http://www.simonscat.com/, 1 second of a Simon's Cat film usually requires 12 to 25 drawings! He even makes the sound effects himself.

Here is the one that started it all:

I love the simplistic yet detailed nature of his drawings. As a cat lover, I love how the videos capture crazy cat antics.
Enjoy!
