You know Simon’s Cat from his YouTube videos. It all started with Cat Man Do, which I believe was the original Simon’s Cat video. The hand drawn animated video featuring black and white pencil drawings of a cat trying to wake his guardian has garnered more than 40 million views since it was posted five years ago.
Since then, Simon’s Cat has become an empire, featuring more videos, books, and merchandise ranging from t-shirts to cat beds to fine art prints.
Simon’s Cat in Kitten Chaos is the third installment in Simon Tofield’s book series based on his YouTube cartoon character. In this book, Simon’s Cat meets his match: a new kitten who is half the size of Simon’s Cat, with twice the attitude.
I hadn’t seen any of the previous books before, and I wasn’t sure how the cartoons would translate to print. Turns out they translate well – I thoroughly enjoyed the book. It’s impossible to look through the book without winding up with a big smile on your face.
I particularly enjoyed the section titled “Simon Draws,” in which Tofield shows step by step how he draws Simon’s Cat and the other characters in his cartoons. He makes it look so easy – yet I know that if I tried it, I wouldn’t be able to capture the cats’ expressions in Tofield’s inimitable way.

About the author
Ingrid King is an award-winning author, former veterinary hospital manager, and veterinary journalist who is passionate about cats.
Another feline icon!
Living with four cats, I need a chance to laugh instead of scream. The 3AM gallops, the 8AM wake up calls, the dumping of trash to get a crumb of food for a starving cat who only had four cans of food five hours ago–all leads to the need to laugh. Please pick me.
I would love to win this because I’m certain that Simon and I are sharing the same cat.

I love Simon’s Cat, he reminds me of my babies.
Love you books so great.
I have loved Simon the Cat for as long as I can remember and his Cat Man Do remains my classic favorite video. Simon reminds me so much of my Zee, and Kizmet, our new rescue kitten, reminds me so much of Simon’s kitten mate! Please enter me in this great giveaway!
It’s my favorite cat cartoon!

I love cats and fun so Simon’s Cats do that combination perfectly. I am such a big fan, I have most of my family (and by extension their families!) looking up and enjoying the YouTube videos also. LOL! He captures kitty personalities perfectly! 😀
I just adore Simon’s cats, and would love to giggle over a book 😉

Simon so acurately characterises his work in such a funny and clever way in which most cat owners could identify with in so many cases:) I have his latest book, but no others and really enjoy watching his video’s online. I’d love to be able to have this book:) I am sharing on Facebook =^..^=
Simons cat reminds men of my kitties so much!! I would love to be able to have this book so I can look at it and laugh every day!!
I love Simon’s cat! I have the first book and laugh each time I look at it. So I would love to have a copy of “Simon’s cat in kitten chaos”.

I have been a Simon’s cat fan for years and have introduced many of my family and friends to him! I would love to win a copy of Kitten Chaos. I had planned to go see Simon when he was at Politics and Prose in DC last weekend, but I was scheduled to volunteer at the Animal Welfare League of Arlington and was apprehensive I’d be late if I went to see Simon. Too much going on and not enough time to do everything I want to do. Argh!
I want a copy of this book because we have two manic kittens and i want to compare!!
i love simon cats
